BDC using Session Method

By Kumar Saurabh, Yash Technologies

When SAP is implemented, we need Data to be migrated from non-SAP system i.e. Legacy system to SAP system. One
way of doing this is BDC (Batch Data Communication).
Requirement: - For Developing BDC using Session Method we need Recording & flat file in which data is stored. Flat file can
be Text file or Excel File.
In Session Method following function Modules are used.
1.

BDC_OPEN_GROUP.

2.

BDC_INSERT.

3.

BDC_CLOSE_GROUP.
In BDC we use structure BDCDATA for Batch Input, Which has following components.
PROGRAM - BDC module pool
DYNPRO-

BDC Screen number

DYNBEGIN-

BDC screen start

FNAM-

Field name

FVAL-

BDC field value

A BDCDATA structure can contain the batch input data for only a single run of a transaction
Lets for the sake of convenience our flat file looks like this.
(If you are using the same file for practice make sure you remove the above two heading rows.)

From above flat file we came to know about the structure of the internal table in which data will be uploaded.

DATA:
BEGIN OF fs_field,
bsart TYPE eban-bsart,
matnr TYPE eban-matnr,
menge TYPE eban-menge,
werks TYPE eban-werks,
END OF fs_field.
Recoding is done in Transacton SHDB .
Here we have done Recording for the transaction- ME51 .
The Recording which you get will be in following format.

" Material Number.

" Quantity Requested.
" Plant.

Document Type.

Now go to Abap Editor (SE38).

Do the following coding.

*Input Path
PARAMETERS:
p_file
TYPE rlgrap-filename.
* Structure Decleration
DATA :
BEGIN OF fs_field,
bsart TYPE eban-bsart,
matnr TYPE eban-matnr,
menge TYPE eban-menge,
werks TYPE eban-werks,
END OF fs_field.
*Internal table decleration
DATA:

" File Path

" Document Type.

" Material Number.
" Quantity Requested.
" Plant.

Execute the Program.

Now go to Transaction SM35 for Session Overview.

Line select your Program and press the Button Process.

We will get the 3 options for Processing

1.

Foreground - Step by step processing will be done by you.

2.

Background All the Processing will be done in Background.

3.

Display Error If there is any error, it will be displayed in log otherwise it is similar to background mode.

Select the mode from radio button and press Process button

Following information message will be displayed if processing is successfully completed.

We can press session overview button to see the session overview

This symbol under Stat indicates successful processing.

In case of any Error we can go to the log and check the error message from the Log button as shown below.
