Post Data with a BDC Script

Integrate allows a user to post data to SAP using the results of a Batch Data Communication (BDC) script recorded using either Integrate or the SHDB transaction in  SAP (which is then imported into Integrate).

During initial template creation, the user selects the SAP system against which the script will be created and the SAP transaction code being recorded by the BDC script.

A template defines how data is posted into SAP, including which screens and fields will be processed and whether the process contains a single loop or multiple loops. Templates are not tied to data, but rather act as an independent guide for posting that can be assigned to many processes.

NOTE: A BDC Script template can also be created by copying a template. Refer to Copy a Template for more information. Integrate allows the screens in a BDC Script template to be merged with another BDC Script template. Refer to Merge or Copy BDC Screens to Another BDC Script Template for more information.

A process, a series of posting steps, defines how Integrate takes data from the platform and transfers it to SAP. Each posting step is a template that is added to the process.

Once assigned to a process, the BDC Script template can be further configured to include transaction stringing, template process loops tied to different views that contain the data to post to SAP, and field mappings to a specified field value or a fixed value. Integrate can also map many fields in the template with columns in an assigned view automatically.

After the process is configured and activated, use a process post to send the data to SAP.
