BDC Timing issue

[Former Member]

Hi All

I have a BDC which calls transaction VC01 and submits sales activities. It works most of the time except when we get a large amount of sales activity text. When this happens the BDC does not return any data. What steps can I take to troubleshoot this issue? I think this may be a timeout issue because of the amount of text to batch but I am not sure.

Also the BDC does work in mode 'A'. I think this is because it gets time to process. However when in mode 'N' it fails. I have tried COMMIT WORK AND WAIT. WAIT UP TO 4 SECONDS. after calling transaction but no luck.

Hi Brad,

have you checked if there is any BAPI available for this transaction.

Instead of CALL TRANSACTION method try to use session method.

Hi Atish

I am almost at the point of using BAPI. What is the session method?

Hi Brad,

It is always better to use BAPI if it is available.

In BDC there are two methods, session and call transaction. Just search help.sap.com or SDN you will find lots of documents on the same.

Hi

in session method you create a session

and from transaction sm35 , by executing that session

data gets uploaded in the database tables

as call transaction do.
