BDC in SAP Tutorial

Batch data communication (BDC) allows transferring data into SAP systems from other systems automatically by executing SAP transactions programmatically. There are two primary BDC methods: classical BDC where an ABAP program stores transaction data in a session using function modules for later processing, and inline BDC where the CALL TRANSACTION statement runs transactions directly in the ABAP program. Both methods use the common BDCDATA structure to hold transaction instructions and data.

BDC in SAP Tutorial

The SAP System offers two primary methods for transferring data into the System from other
SAP Systems and non-SAP Systems. These two methods are collectively called batch input or
batch data communication ( BDC).Both BDC methods work by carrying out normal SAP
transactions, just as a user would. However, BDC can execute the transactions automatically and
is therefore suitable for entering large amounts of data that are already available in electronic
form. The first processing method could be called classical batch input or Classical BDC. In
it, an ABAP program reads the external data that is to be entered in the SAP System and stores
the data in a BDC session. A session stores the actions that are required to enter your data
using normal SAP transactions.This method uses the function modules BDC_OPEN,
BDC_INSERT, and BDC_CLOSE to generate sessions. In the second method, your program
uses the ABAP CALL TRANSACTION USING statement to run an SAP transaction.BDC data
does not have to be deposited in a session for later processing. Instead, the entire BDC process
takes place inline in your program. There is a third BDC method using the ABAP CALL
DIALOG statement. However, SAP recommends against using this method unless necessary.
The CALL DIALOG method is now outdated and is more complex and less comfortable to use
than the other techniques. All these three BDC methods use a common data structure for holding
the instructions and data for SAP transactions. This structure is defined as structure BDCDATA
in the ABAP Dictionary.
