bdc

[Former Member]

already SAP providing std programs for uploading, again wt is the purpose for creating bdc for uploading ant masterdata

[Former Member]

Hi

According to the client requirements the fields to be uploaded

and the legacy data all these things will get change.

And the recordings will also change thats y we need bdc.

The early versions of R/3, SAP has been providing batch interfacing techniques. Among these techniques, Batch Data Communication (BDC) is the oldest one. BDC is not bi-directional; it is an integration tool in its typical form. It can only be used for uploading data into RJ3. BDC works through an ABAP program and works on the principle of simulating user input for transactional screen.

The purpose of the Batch Data Communication is to transfer data. The BDC can transfer data from one SAP System to another SAP System or can transfer data from non-SAP System to SAP System too. To transfer data BDC uses normal transaction codes. Two methods are provided to BDC to do this work.

SAP has provided two different types of methods for BDC to do its work. Among these, the first one is called the classical method or session method. Through this method the data can be read by the BDC program from a sequential dataset file. This sequential dataset file is stored in batch-input session. In order to .run the transaction in this session, what one needs is to execute the session. For this, follow these few steps: you can start and subsequently monitor the session firstly from u2013 System à Services à Batch Input or have the session run in the background. In this method to generate the required session, you have to use the function module BDC _ NSERT and BDC _CLOSE.

In the second method the BDC has to use the ABAP statement CALL TRANSACTION USING statement to run a transaction. In the second method, unlike in the first type, you do not need BDC to create a session.

hi,

sap provided programs for loading master data will not suite in all requirements.

in that case u have to go with Bdc which will give u comfort of having ur own specifications.

please explian one examplefor this.

Batch Data Communication or BDC is a batch interfacing technique that SAP developed. It is mainly used for uploading data into the SAP R/3 system. BDC works by simulating the user input from transactional screen via an ABAP program.

The data input data file will come in the form of a flat file which the user save as file type txt file or prn file from the Microsoft Excel program. An Abaper will create a program to read the text file and upload into the SAP system.

Normally, the tcode SHDB will be used to record the transaction code the user used. After, the simulation, the Abaper can generate a sample program and modify from there. It makes the programming easier and faster.

BDC Example: Using Table Control in BDC

Among beginners, using table control in BDC is always a puzzle.

Following is a sample code of handling table control in BDC.

Hi,

SAP has provided certain standard programs.if your requirement matches then you can use them and it's the best practice.

As Different clients will have diffrent Requirements and achieving all these Different Requirements is not possible for

any Solution provider.

so SAP has provided the option of writing BDC, making use of the BAPIS or creating customozed BAPIS to fulfill the Requirements.

Regards,

Raj.

hi

spa provides the standard programs to upload data

for example.

to create material we ve to process some 30 screens.

so if we upload material creation it will processs 30screens if we go through standard prog.

but acording to requirement for creating a material we ve to process 3/4 screens so if we write the code then the recording will be done for 3 screens only.

now we can say that for clients requirements only we ve to write the bdc programs..

give points if it is helpful to u.

sachhi.
