BDC update using KE21N

[Former Member]

Hello all,

I have a request that I need to create a program to update data via KE21N.

However, according to the old post here and by my experience after online running this transaction, it is not really suitable for batch updating.

Is the old transaction KE21 suitable to replace KE21N in the program? Is there any side effect to use KE21 in updating?

hi,

hi,

Enjoy transactions use Enjoy SAP Controls like ALV Grid, ALV Tree. If you run BDC in background these Controls would not be able to communicate front-end since they need some files in front-end (client - PC), so BDC fails.

Therefore what can be done? There are two possibilities:

1- ) There might be a alternative, usually older version, transaction. You can use it. For example ME22N is a Enjoy transaction, but ME22 is the older one, does the same thing. So ME22 can be used.

2- ) If it is available, a BAPI can be used. Whatever you want to do, you can search BAPIs and use it instead of BDC technique.

Hope this helps, Do reward.
