BDC (BATCH DATA COMMINICATIONS)

FLAT FILE DATA FROM OPERATING SYSTEM EITHER FROM PL OR AS

SHOULD BE TRANSFERED INTO R/3.
HOW SAP READS DATA FROM FLAT FILE?

1) UPLOAD
2) WS_UPLOAD
3) GUI_UPLOAD
ARE THE THREE FUNCTION MODULES CAN BE USED TO READ DATA
FROM PL OPERATING SYSTEM PATH INTO INTERNAL TABLES.

1) DOWNLOAD
2) WS_DOWNLOAD
3) GUI_DOWNLOAD
ARE THREE FUNCTION MODULES USED TO CONVERT THE DATA OF
INTERNAL TABLES INTO FLAT FILES OF PRESENTATION LAYER.
_______________________________________________________________________
_
TO READ OR WRITE DATA FROM APPLICATION SERVER WE CAN USE
"DATASET" CONCEPT.
INPUT ( READ MODE )
OUTPUT ( WRITE MODE )
APPEND ( APPENDNG MODE)

EXAMPLE 1 TO EXTRACT DATA FROM FLAT FILE INTO ITAB USING

"UPLOAD" FUNCTION.
REPORT ZULOAD_930 .
DATA : BEGIN OF ITAB OCCURS 0,
STR(255) TYPE C,
END OF ITAB.
CALL FUNCTION 'WS_UPLOAD'
EXPORTING
FILENAME = 'D:\930AM\11TH FEB.TXT'
FILETYPE = 'ASC'
TABLES
DATA_TAB = ITAB .
LOOP AT ITAB.
WRITE : / ITAB-STR COLOR 7.
ENDLOOP.

UPLOAD : OPENS A DIALOG BOX TO PROMPT THE CONFIRMATION, IS THE

FM CAN BE USED IN EARLIER VERSIONS AND EVEN IN 4.7 ALSO.
WS_UPLOAD : WITH OUT ASKING ANY CONFIRMATION DATA FROM
SPECIFIED FILE FROM THE PROGRAM WILL BE EXTRACTED INTO ITAB.

ABOVE TWO FUNCTION MODULES WE CAN USE IN VERSIONS OF SAP.

IN 4.7 VERSION WS_UPLOAD IS MODIFIED AS GUI_UPLOAD, TO EXTRACT

DATA FROM FLAT FILE INTO ITAB WITHOUT ASKING ANY CONFIRMATIONS.

DEMO EXAMPLE TO EXTRACT ITAB DATA INTO OPERATING SYSTEMS FILES.

DATA : ITAB LIKE MARA OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
SELECT * FROM MARA INTO TABLE ITAB.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_DOWNLOAD'
EXPORTING
FILENAME = 'D:\930AM\MARADATA.TXT'
FILETYPE = 'ASC'

DATA_TAB = ITAB.
IF SY-SUBRC = 0.
WRITE : 'DATA IS DOWNLOADED'.
ELSE.
WRITE : / 'ERROR WHILE DOWNLOADING'.
ENDIF.

WORKING WITH DATASETS

(FILES CONCEPT IN ABAP)

OPEN DATASET dsn.

1a. ... FOR INPUT
1b. ... FOR OUTPUT
1c. ... FOR APPENDING

192.4.4.13 ( is a network where SAP application server is installed)

\\192.4.4.13\c$

is the path indicates the c Driver of "192.4.4.13" system.

EXAMPLE CODE.

DATA : FNAME(30) TYPE C VALUE 'C:\SAMPLE930.TXT'.

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE ENCODING

DEFAULT.
TRANSFER 'SUBBARAO LINE' TO FNAME.
 TRANSFER 'DABBARAO LINE' TO FNAME.
TRANSFER 'YENKARAO LINE' TO FNAME.
CLOSE DATASET FNAME.

FOR 4.7 WE NEED TO SPECIFY ENCODING PROCEDIRES.

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE
ENCODING DEFAULT.

FOR 4.6C AND EARLIER VERSIONS

OPEN DATASET FNAME FOR OUTPUT IN TEXT MODE.

TRANSFER : IS THE STATEMENT USED IN DATASET TO WRITE DATA TO THE

FILESTREAM FROM THE PRESENTATION LAYER.

SYNTAX:
TRANSFER <DATA> TO <DSN>.

WHERE <DSN> IS THE STREAM OPENED USING DATA SET.

CLOSE DATASET <DSN>. CLOSES THE MEMORY WHICH IS OPENED BY THE
PROGRAM.

DIRECT INPUT METHOD DRAWBACKS1)IT CAUSES NETWORK TRAFFIC

MAINTENANCE.
2)if the record is already existing in the data base the can't modify the data
(error record can't be handled).
Advantage:
Direct Input Method is the best method in SAP implementation.

BDC CONCEPTS…
1) DIRECT INPUT METHOD
2) CALL TRANSACTION METHOD
ADVANTAGE : IT CAN MODIFY ERROR RECORDS.
DIS ADVANTAGE: CAUSES NETWORK TRAFFIC.
3) SESSION METHOD
IS THE BEST METHOD OUT OFF THREE IN THE MAINTENANCE.

BDC_OPEN_GROUP IS THE NAME OF FUNCTION MODULE TO CREATE

SESSION OBJECT.
BDC_INSERT : IS THE NAME OF FUNCTION MODULE USED TO INSERT THE
DATA OF "JTAB"
( INTERNAL TABLE CREATED FOR BDCDATA ) WITH HELP OF A TCODE TO
SESSION OBJECT.
BDC_CLOSE_GROUP: TO CLOSE SESSION OBJECT MEMORY FROM THE
PROGRAM.

AS WE EXECUTE THIS PROGRAM DATA IS SENT TO SESSION OBJECT.

NAME OF SESSION OBJECT CAN BE GIVEN FOR ANY DATA ENTRY
OPERATOR TO PROCESS SESSION DATA TO R/3 WHEN EVER DATA BASE
NETWORK TRAFFIC IS LOW USING TCODE "SM35".

1ST MARCH
5) LSMW ( 14 STEPS TO PROCESS BDC)
LSMW IS NAVIGATION FORMAT TO PERFORM BDC'S

LSMW IS A COLLECTION OF PROJECTS, PROJECT IS A COLLECTION OF SUB

PROJECTS AND SUB PROJECT IS A COLLECTION OF OBJECTS.

LSMW -> NAME THE PROJECT , SUB PROJECT AND OBJECT -> CLICK ON
CREATE FROM APPLICATION TOOLBAR -> OPENS ANOTHER INTERFACE
ACCEPT SHORT DESCRIPTION -> OK -> TO LSMW PROCESS CLICK ON
EXECUTE ( PRESS F8).

1) Maintain Object Attributes

IN THIS STEP WE CAN SPECIFY THE TARGET TCODE, WHERE DATA TO BE
POPULATED FOR LSMW, WITH TCODE FIELD IDENTITIES WITH HELP OF
RECORDING METHOD.
TO DO THIS
SELECT -> EXECUTE -> CLICK ON RECORDING OVERVIEW ( PB ON
APPLICATION ) -> OPENS LPS SCREEN -> CLICK ON CREATE NEW
RECORDING FROM APPLICATION TOOLBAR -> OPENS AN INTERFACE ->
ENTER RECORDING METHOD NAME ( ZREC1) -> SHORT TEXT -> CONTINUE
-> ENTER THE TCODE( MK01 ) -> Enter sample data -> Save the entries from tcode ->
Generates a report in LPS with recording method fields, but in this step abaper has to
assign recording methods fields to LSMW process , to do this -> click on Default all from
application toolbar, assigns all fields of recording method into LSMW process.
-> save the entries -> come back -> come back -> change mode of screen -> select batch
input recording -> name the recording (zrec1) -> save the entries -> come back.

2) Maintain Source Structures

In this process we are creating a structure where can be splitted from flat file, to
populate data into corresponding fields of screen to do this
select -> execute -> change the mode of screen -> click on create structure from
application toolbar -> name the structure ( ktab) -> short text -> ok -> Save the entries
and come back

3) Maintain Source Fields

In this process we are adding Fields for the structure with help tcode fields.
To do this
select -> execute -> change mode -> select name of structure ->
click on create field -> specify field name -> description -> size of the field -> data type
-> continue -> repeat the same step for all fiels of tcode where data to be populated ->
save entries -> come back.

4) Maintain Structure Relations

In this step the relation between structure and Recording object should be assigined, this
will be done automatically, else process manually to do this
select -> execute -> chane the mode -> save -> come back ( as relations are
maintained by sap by default [zrec <<<< ktab]).

5) Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules

In this process we are performing field mappings of recording ( lsmw ) to structure

fields. To do this
select -> execute -> change the mode -> select field of Recording method
(LIFNR) -> click on source field from application toolbar -> displays list of fields in
KTAB ( structure ) -> double click on related field name ( field is mapped ) ->
Repeat the same step for all fields.
-> save the entries and come back.

6) Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines

This step is require if we need to assign any default values, is a optional step [ we can
avoid this step.
select -> execute -> come back.

7) Specify Files
we can specify the file is from Presentation layer or application server to be extracted
for data population to do this
select -> execute -> change the mode -> select the location ( legacy system PC )
-> click on add entry from application toolbar -> opens an interface -> enter path of
source file in File ( field ) [d:\930am\vendordata.txt] -> description in name field ->
specify field separator
(comma) -> continue -> save the entries -> come back ->

8) Assign Files
In this process we are assigning File to the LSMW process to do this
select -> execute -> change the mode -> save -> come back.

9) Import Data
in this process the data from legacy system is populated into LSMW process,
generates ".lsmw.read" file
select -> execute -> execute -> generates report -> come back -> come back.

10) Display Imported Data

In this process we are display the data of .read file in presentation layer to do this
 select -> execute -> continue -> display report ( yellow color ) -> come back ->

11) Convert Data

in this process generates ".conv" with help of ".read" file to do this
select -> execute -> execute -> generates a report -> come back -> come back ->

12) Display Converted Data

displays the converted data from application created by sap to do this
select -> execute -> continue -> generates the report -> come back.

13) Create Batch Input Session

in this process creates a session object with name as object name defined in LSMW.
select -> execute -> execute.

14) Run Batch Input Session

executes the SM35 tcode to process LSMW into sap r/3.
opens sm35 tcode -> select object name -> process.
