hi

The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool that supports data migration from legacy systems (non-SAP systems) to SAP systems. It is a cross-platform component of the SAP system.

The LSMW is a cross-application component (CA) of the SAP system.

The tool has interfaces with the Data Transfer Center and with batch input and direct input processing as well as standard interfaces BAPI and IDoc.

The LSMW comprises the following main functions:

1. Read data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files).

You can use any combination of PC and server files.

2. Convert data (from the source into the target format).

3. Import data (to the database used by the SAP application).

LSMW - Legacy System Migration Workbench

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.

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).

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).
