Based on the structure given to you initially you have to build the bdc program. In the same way process team or functional folks will provide the file to you. Before you upload the data with the original file u have to test your program for all the test conditions to make sure your program is working well.
When comes to the point of running the BDC program it depends upon the requirement.
If the requirement is to run the bdc program only once or twice then u have to run the program. If it is continous daily batch job then u need to schedule a background job or some other concerned persons will take care of that if you give your program name, variant and proper timings when this needs to be run.
Role of the abaper would be.........
Verifying the structure of the flat file along with all the fields, field lenghts and types then building the proper program, testing the program to make sure it will run with out any major problems and once u get the file make sure that file is in the correct format which is mentioned earlier.
In production situations, normally this flat file comes from a legacy system. However, while you're programming, the responsible for the requirement is the one who should provide a flat file sample to test the program.
who ll run that bdc program in real time ?
Someone interested in loading external data to SAP.
what is abaper role exactly involved in bdc ? only coding or some thing else ? or we have to run that program ?
You should code the program, and test it to see if it's working fine with the flat file sample.
The flat file is generally generated by the legacy system. sometimes the ABAPers have to get data. Now a days we have 3rd party tools to get flat files.
This flat file will be then with functional guys.
In general, functional guys or someone who is responsible for doing that will run the program. In general TCODE will be given for almost allprograms which makes the enduser to run the programs provided some help .
The ABAPers develop the code for the requirement. He will test the program using the flat files given by functional consultants and in some cases their own flat file.
