BDC UPDATE and EC86 FM or BAPI

141 Views

Hello SAP experts!

I am trying to debug a problem with BDC commands in a customized transaction. Right now it seems to work 90% of the time and not work 10% of the time. The data seems to be valid with no obvious issues.

This is the current line that calls the BDC commands:

call transaction c_t_ec86 using bdcdata mode 'E'.    

I am wondering if adding the UPDATE 'S' options will help these BDC commands run 100% of the time?

I understand it's running by default in UPDATE 'A' mode. Could the asynchronous updates be affected by system performance and thus cause my problem? I know our production system isn't the fastest sometimes.

I'd prefer to make the BDC work instead of rewriting this code. If the UPDATE option doesn't seem feasible then I would like to know if there is a BAPI or FM used to enter a disconnection (as seen in EC86). We are using SAP standard EC86. I'd need to be able to complete the disconnection and enter final meter reads and other items on the EC86 tabs too.

If anyone has any help to give I'd appreciate it!
