hi,

generally BDC's r used to upload data from legacy system to sap system.we hav also bapi,lsmw... for that.

if u want to transfer data between 2 different systems then u hav some latest technologies like XI,netweaver .... to achieve that.

This was one of the Interview question and i didnt know the answer to it. Can BDC be used to data transfer between SAP and SAP system?

or during Upgrades?

Hi,

Yes BDC can be used during upgrades. But for transferring data between two SAP systems is not possible. The reason being that BDCs are client and system dependent. A BDC written for a particular client can upload data only to that client and nowhere else.

Very good question !

I think we can do this.

In BDC programming we take the Legacy system data into an exel file and then transfer that tab delimited text file to SAP using internal table and call transaction method.

And we can take the SAP data from one system to Excel file and then upload the same data to another system using BDC.

Reward points if useful.

Thanks & Regards,
