HR - Programming without Logical database

[anupam_srivastava2]

Hi All

I have some doubts, I am mainly using Logical database while creting Reports in HR, if I want to use HR function modules and BAPI do they use logical database,

question is when we have to do HR programming with Logical database and when without Logical database.

that depends on the cleints requirement ..

the same thing can be done with the select statements or logical databases and with the function modules using hr_read_infotype. generally when we want to display the information of one pernr we use the logical database ...other wise we use the function modules...function modules are the best for the data execution because they will follow the authorisation checks

The advantages of using Logical Database for HR reporting are

1. Authorizations are taken care

2. Automatic Population of Master data into internal table in one database access

3. Automatic selection screen and link to retrieve relevant data

HR function module also use take care of authorizations by it can be used if you are not going to use the Logical Databases in Program Attributes

On the performance side there might be varainces mainly due to scenarios on hand

Hi Sriram

That means, for Reporting or for Interfaces we can use Logical database, but where we cant define Logical database in the attributes, we have to use Function modules or BAPIs

Hi,

This depends on your client requirement. If they insist on

using LDB's then U have to do ... nothing is in our hands ..

Hi Srinivas

If I am doing some Enhancement on ESS/ MSS , using Webdypros, I cant define Logical database anywhere, so I have to use Function modules or BAPIs ........???

But usually in Reporting you can define the Logical database in the Program attributes.........so I think Logical database can only be used when it can be defined in the program attributes........if you have any other scenarios........please let me know
