Data Migration using SAP Data Services

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

I have looked through a couple of documents and also video demo of using SAP Best Practices for the data migration process. I ve looked at the way the data is being extracted from the legacy system , mapped and validated and loaded onto to a staging table. Lookup tables are modified on the migration services console looks pretty neat. With all that said. I am not sure how the data is loaded to the ERP system from the staging table. All i see or may be i am overlooking something is that the data is extracted from legacy system mapped validated and loaded onto a staging table and i am not sure of the process after that.

Can anyone help me on this? And also we cans till load the data into a IDOC instead of a staging table right?

Thanks

The BPDM kit uses iDocs to send the data into ECC. Look in the last dataflow in each job (one job per "object"), and you'll see the assembly of the iDocs from the "enrichment" staging tables. Each iDoc segment goes through three phases -- mapping, validation, and enrichment -- and the staging tables created in the enrichment phase, one per iDoc segment (more or less) are assembled into iDocs in the very last dataflow.

Thanks for your help.. Looking further i did see IDOc one per segment. I dont have the content but looked at a demo and it would explain that concept. Now so my question is are these IDOC's already available on the SAP system what if a segment does not have an IDOC do we have another way to load the data other than using the LSMW methodology.

Thanks
