hi arya,

The LSM Workbench is an SAP R/3 based tool that supports the one-time or periodic transfer of data from non-SAP systems ("legacy systems") to SAP systems.

The LSM Workbench helps you to organize your data migration project and guides you through the process by using a clear sequence of steps.

The most common conversion rules are predefined. Reusable conversion rules assure consistent data conversion for different data objects.

hi,

LSMW is an encapsulated data transfer tool. It can provide the same functionality as BDC infact much more but when coming to techinical perspective most the parameters are encapulated. To listout some of the differences :

>> LSMW is basicaly designed for a fuctional consultant who do not do much coding but need to explore the fuctionality while BDC is designed for a technical consultant.

>> LSMW offers different techinque for migrating data: Direct input ,BAPI,Idoc,Batch input recording. While bdc basically uses recording.

>>LSMW mapping is done by SAP while in BDC we have to do it explicitly .

>>LSMW is basically for standard SAP application while bdc basically for customized application.

>>Coding can be done flexibly in BDC when compared to LSMW

<b>The LSM Workbench</b> is an R/3-based tool that supports you when transferring data from non-SAP systems („Legacy Systems“) to R/3 once or periodically.

The tool supports conversion of data of the old system in a convenient way. The data can then be imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input, BAPIs or IDocs.

Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to generate a „data mi-gration object“ in an entry or change transaction.

<b>The main advantages of the LSM Workbench:</b>• Part of R/3 and thus independent of individual platforms

• A variety of technical possibilities of data conversion:

• Data consistency due to standard import techniques:

&#61630; Batch input

&#61630; Direct input

&#61630; BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces)

&#61630; IDocs (Intermediate Documents)

The import technique to be used in an individual case depends on the business object.

• Generation of the conversion program on the basis of defined rules

• Clear interactive process guide

• Interface for data in spreadsheet format

• Creation of data migration objects on the basis of recorded transactions
