SAP Data Migration with LSMW

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.

LSMW vs DX Workbench

The LSM Workbench covers the following steps:

• Read the legacy data from one or several files (e.g. spreadsheet tables, sequential files).

• Convert the data from source format to target format.

• Import the data using standard interfaces (Batch Input, Direct Input, BAPI, IDoc).

How LSMW Works

Experiences made in successful implementation projects have shown that using the LSM Workbench significantly contributes to accelerating data migration.

SAP provides this tool along with documentation to customers and partners free of charge.

Users of the LSM Workbench receive the usual support via SAP Net - R/3 Frontend (component BC-SRV-DX-LSM).

You can have a look at the example of an upload data format for the Condition Pricing for Sales Order.<a href="http://www.sap-img.com/sd001.htm">Upload Condition Pricing</a>

Hello,

The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.

More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file for your conversion program.

The LSM Workbench lets you check the data for migration against the current settings of your customizing. The check is performed after the data migration, but before the update in your database.

So although it was designed for uploading of legacy data it is not restricted to this use.

We use it for mass changes, i.e. uploading new/replacement data and it is great, but there are limits on its functionality, depending on the complexity of the transaction you are trying to replicate.

The SAP transaction code is 'LSMW' for SAP version 4.6x.

For those with the older SAP version (4.7 and below), the data migration programs might not have been pre-loaded.

You can download the LSMW at no cost from SAPNet under Services, SAP Methodology and Tools, category Tools.

If you are an existing SAP customer with an OSS ID, you can access the SAP Service Marketplace to download the LSWM for your Basis teams to install to your SAP system: http://service.sap.com/lsmw

The LSM Workbench carries out the following tasks:

Reads the transfer data from one or more files (for example, spreadsheets, sequential files etc.)

Converts the data from the source format into the target format

Note that with background processing, the input file must not be located in the presentation server. Access to presentation server files is only possible when you are working online.
