Hi,

I want to upload data from application server .

so which one is better BAPI or BDC.

Thanks,

jigar

Hi,

What's kind of data? It depends ...

You may need to check whether there is BAPI or Direct Input program available or not.

Personally, I like to use BAPI (if available).

BAPI is faster because it is updating the DB "directly" through ABAP code. On the other hand, a BDC with call transaction goes through the whole screen sequence like any user would do, simply put, it is filling screens.

if u want to upload data which is stored in flat file then using BDC u can upload to SAP R/3 through identified T code of SAP system..

but if u want to upload ur data from another application server to SAP then u need to user BAPI of SAP system thourgh RFC connection.

or u can use connector, but ur question is not of full information . u need to write which application server u r using to upload the data to SAP ..
