The LSM Workbench is an R/3-based tool that supports you when transferring data
from non-SAP systems ("Legacy Systems") to R/3 once or periodically.
The tool supports conversion of data of the legacy system in a convenient way. T
he data can then be imported into the R/3 system via batch input, direct input,
BAPIs or IDocs.
Furthermore, the LSM Workbench provides a recording function that allows to gene
rate a "data migration object" in an entry or change transaction
To start working with the LSM Workbench, use transaction LSMW:
Click on the create button to create new project, subproject and the object. As
shown below.
Project, Subproject and Object:
On the initial screen, you can create a new project, corresponding subprojects a
nd objects via Edit -> Create new entry.
Project: An ID with a maximum of 10 characters to name your data tran
sfer project. If you want to transfer data from several legacy systems, you may
create a project e.g. for every legacy system.
Subproject: An ID with a maximum of 10 characters that is used as fur
ther structuring attribute.
Object: An ID with a maximum of 10 characters to name the business ob
ject.
In the initial screen, All objects provides a list of all projects created alrea
dy. My objects displays a list of all objects you created personally. All object
s of the project displays all objects of the selected project as tree structure.
Project documentation displays any documentation written for the individual pop
ups and processing steps. you can print the project documentation out, send it a
nd save it in various file formats.
Click on the execute button once the project, subproject and the object are crea
ted.
Click Back.Now record usingBatch Input RecordingData Migration - Step by Stepvia
Batch Input Recording
Step 1: Maintain Object attributes
In this example, you will be updating the Material master records with the help
of recording a transaction (MM01). Choose radio buttonBatch Input Recordingand c
lick on the recording overview icon to record the R/3 transaction. Enter theReco

rdingname asMM01_REC2, the description asMM01 Recording method, and the transact
ion code asMM01.
Click on create to record the transaction.

Click on Done.
Click on Done to actually start recording the transaction.
Enter the fields required for recoding a transaction successfully.
Note that the fields are populated with default values. The values you entered w
hen you recorded the transaction are set by default.
*Double-click on the fieldRMMG1-MATNRand enter the name asMATNRand the descripti
on asMATERIAL NUMBERand remove the default as shown below:
Repeat this step for all fields.Similarly, double-click on all other fields with
default values and make appropriate changes. Once you have made changes, the re
cording overview screen looks as shown below:
Click on SAVE to save the recording. The click on BACK icon to the main screen.
Save the while going back to the main screen.
After completing the recoding the system will automatically take you to the seco
nd step as shown below:
Step 2. Maintain Source Structures
Click on CREATE to create a source structure. Give a name and a description to t
he source structure as shown below:
Save the source structure and go to the main screen.
Step 3. Maintain Source Fields
In this step, you need to list what fields are present in the source structure.
The easiest way is to click on 'Table Maintenance' icon to enter Fieldname, Type
and Length for each field as shown:
Save while coming back to the main screen.
Step 4: Maintain Structure Relations
Execute a step to 'Maintain Structure Relations'. Since, there is only one Sourc
e and Target Structure, the relationship is defaulted automatically.
Save while coming back to the main screen.
Step 5: Maintain field mapping and conversion rules
Keep cursor on field 'MATNR' and click on 'Assign Source field' icon to choose s
ource field MATERIAL from structure MM01V6 as shown
Similarly, assign 'Source Field' rules to the remaining fields.
Once all the fields are mapped, you should have an overview screen as shown
Save while coming back to the main screen.
Step 6: Maintain fixed values, translations, user-defined routines
You can also maintain re-usable translations and user-defined routines, which ca
n be used across conversion tasks. In this case, that step is not required.
Step 7: Specify files
In this step, we define how the layout of the input file is. The input file is a
[Tab] delimited with the first row as field names. It is present on my PC (loca
l drive) as C:\MM3.txt.
Double Click on the legacy data.

Save while going to main screen.


Create an Excel with your data and save it as a Tab-delimited text file on your
local drive (C(smile) and name it MM3.txt.
IMPORTANT
****The Structure of the flat file should be proper otherwise data will not be u
ploaded.. All the mandatory fields should be present in the flat file for the re
quired transaction
Step 8: Assign files
Execute step 'Assign Files' and the system automatically defaults the filename t
o the source structure.
Save while going to main screen.
Step 9: Read data
In this step, LSMW reads the data from the source file (from your PC's local dri
ve). You have the option to read only selected rows and convert data values to i
nternal format.
Here 1 to 2 represents the number of rows to be read from the flat file. If you
don't specify any number the system will read all the rows from the flat file. W
e have 2 rows in the flat file hence from 1 to 2.
After we execute the data read from the flat file is as shown below.
Step 10: Display read data
This step is optional. If required, you can review the field contents for the ro
ws of data read.
Step 11: Convert data
This is the step that actually converts the source data (in source format) to a
target format. Based on the conversion rules defined, source fields are mapped t
o target fields.
Click BACK to come back to main screen.
Step 12: Display Converted data
Again this is an optional step to view how the source data is converted to inter
nal SAP format.
Step 13: Create batch input session
Once the source data is converted in an internal format, you can create a batch
session to process updates.
Click EXECUTE button to execute a batch inout session.
Step 14: Run Batch Input Session
You can execute the BDC session by Run Batch input session. Executing a batch in
put session is a standard SM35 transaction for managing BDC sessions. Once you h
ave successfully executed the batch input session, the Material master records a
re updated in the system. You can confirm this by viewing the Material master re
cords (MM03).
Select the session and click on the PROCESS icon.
You can Process the session in foreground or background or can only display erro
rs.
Select the Processing Mode and then click on the PROCESS tab to executive the se
ssion.
After the session is completely processed you can confirm this by viewing the Ma
terial master records (MM03) or in the table MARA.
