Data Migration- Infotypes BDC Recording

[Former Member]

Hi All,

Iam currently working on data migration project.

Before i joined here,they developed the upload programes,by using Function modules.But when we are doing that,we are able to see in Over veiw,But when we go to change mode,nothing is there on screen.Then we tried Using BDC Recording for IT0105.Then working perfectly.

So i need a help,if any one of you any idea on list of the Infotypes which need BDC Recording.

I need the List of infotypes,so that i make sure,we use BDC .

Its on priority,Pls have some inputs.

Thanks,

HI,

You'll need BDC for IT8.

For others (2,4,6,7,9,14,15...) you can use LSMW.

Hey Anitha,

BDC and LSMW are both data loading techniques.

In both cases you will need input files in a specific format so that these are read by your BDC or LSMW program

The main difference is

Using BDC you can validate the data in the system. Suppose you want to check if an employee is active before loading the data then BDC is advisable because you can check the employment status of the employee and then upload data or else give a message that employee is terminated and data loading has been skipped

If there is a straight forward upload without any validation then go for LSMW

Finally it depends on your requirements

Cheers

As stated above IT 0008 has to be filled using table control hence BDC is helpful
