How to handle large volume in lsmw

[joerg_arndt]

Hi,

I have a problem to handle large volume files in lsmw.

I have 4 or 5 file larger than 300 MB.

The LSMW can not handle this kind of files.

To split the files is very difficult and time consuming.

is there another way to read small parts in LSMW.

Maybe read only a certain amount of records.

Thank you very much in advance.

I doubt about anything like this. But you can do like when you are trying the read the file, pass the number of records in the selection screen. Like 1 to 1000.

But again, it is also a time consuming task.

What do you mean you doubt it?

You think the LSMW should not have problems with it this files?

Maybe there are some default settings to be changed?

LSMW will definitely have problems with big files. Even though you said earlier that splitting the files into smaller ones is a time consuming process, my guess is that will be the only way out of it.

My doubt means, LSMW can't handle that big files...There will be some problems. As suggested by other members, you can split the files and upload it into LSMW.

Hi Aneesh,

Last Try.

Is there another way to do it, I mean to migrate the data?

Not with LSMW.

Ofcourse you can try for without LSMW. But we can only suggest you the best method if we know what data you are trying to upload. For example give us the transaction code into which you are trying or something like that.

what is the differnce?

I guess it is not using the standard procedure, like in the transaction.

No call screen etc.
