The function are used to create a SESSION of BDC

BDC_OPEN_GROUP " it is used to open the session. it take program name, session name etc.

BDC_INSERT is used to add the BDC records to the session

, it takes Transaction code and BDCDATA, session name,

BDC_CLOSE_GROUP " once all records are added to session then we will close the session using close_group function.

One session we will open and we will add all the records to a session, then close the session

so that one session consists of mutliple transactions, or records to process.

Now we go to SM35 and process the session.

Hi,

In sessions method all the error records and processed records information is stored by SAP only, we can analyze it after the session is processed.

Regarding Call transaction we can use a structure BDCMSGCOLL structure to hold the error records which must be used in Call transaction statement.

Hi:

How to processed the session? Automatic or use t-code SM35?

[former_member188685]

you have to process the session from SM35, you have find the name of session what you passed to the BDC_OPEN_GROUP . and choose that and Process the session, coming to Messages you will get log once you process the session. you can check the log in SM35 itself.
