Significance of data migrationSignificance of data migration

• Data migration comes in the end of R/3 implementation.

• To start with Data Migration first configuration should be fully completed

• Data migration is about 20% to 40% of the total implementation expenses.

What is LSMW?What is LSMW?

• 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

• The data can be imported into the R/3 system via - Batch Input - Direct Input - BAPI’s - IDocs.

Page 10: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

LSMWLSMW

The LSM Workbench is a tool that supports data transfer from non-SAP systems to R/3. The main functions of the LSM Workbench are:

- Import data (legacy data in spreadsheet tables and/or sequential files)

- Convert data (from source format to target format)

- Import data (into the database of the R/3 application)

Page 11: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Principles of LSM Workbench

• Basic Principles of LSM workbench:-

– Most of the functions should reside in R/3. No collection of individual programs on different platforms.

– The quality and consistence of the data imported into R/3 should be more important than speed and performance of data migration.

– Existing knowledge and coding should be used.

– The developed ”mapping" and rules should be reusable and thus be used repeatedly in projects.

Page 12: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Features of LSMWFeatures of LSMW

• Features:-

Integrated in R/3 and thus independent of individual platforms

The import technique to be used in an individual case, depends on the business object as well as on the availability of standard input programs

Data consistency due to standard import techniques: Batch input Direct input BAPIs (Business Application Programming Interfaces) IDocs (Intermediate Documents)

Structured way of working, because you have to finish every step before starting the next step

Getting StartedGetting Started

Here is an example showing the way to use the conversion tool LSMW in SAP. It starts in the start-up screen of LSMW transaction and ends with a screen on which the results of the conversion are displayed

If you want to create or change objects, make sure that you are working in change mode. To activate this mode, click Change in the corresponding processing step. Only this mode provides all functions required for changing objects

Page 19: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Step 1 - Enter transaction LSMWStep 1 - Enter transaction LSMW

Enter the transaction code (LSMW) or add this transaction to your favourites (right-click with your mouse on the Favourites map in the start menu and choose Insert transaction, type lsmw and press enter), since LSMW is an additional transaction, it is not available in the standard SAP menu.

Page 20: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Step 2 – project, subproject, objectsStep 2 – project, subproject, objects

At the initial screen, you can create a new project, corresponding subprojects and objects via Edit -> Create new entry. Alternatively you can select from an existing project

• Project: An ID with a maximum of 10 characters to name your data transfer 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 further structuring attribute• Object: An ID with a maximum of 10 characters to name the business object

Page 21: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Step2 contd..Step2 contd..

- At the initial screen, ‘All Objects’ provides a list of all projects created already.

- ‘My Objects’ displays a list of all objects you created personally

- ‘All Project Objects’ 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 and save it in various file formats.

- Select ‘Documentation’ to enter your notes. After clicking, a popup is displayed in which you can write down your personal documentation.

Page 29: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

In the step ‘Maintain Source Structures’ you define the structures of the object with name, description and the hierarchical relationships:

Click on Change button. You can now define, change, reassign or delete structures. All these functions are available via pushbuttons.When you define more than one structure, a popup is displayed querying the relations between the structures: equal/subordinate?

Note: For migration objects created via transaction recording, you may only define one structure per recording, since only one flat target structure per recording is available.

Maintain Source structuresMaintain Source structures

Page 30: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Maintain source fieldsMaintain source fields

In the step ‘Maintain Source Fields’, fields are created and maintained for the source structure defined in the preceding step

Use source fieldnames with the same names as the target fieldnames as much as possible, because it allows you to use the ‘auto-field mapping’ function in step 5 ‘Maintain field mapping and conversion rules’.

Page 31: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Maintain source fieldsMaintain source fields Different possible ways of defining and maintaining

the source fields:

Make sure that you are in change mode and the cursor is positioned on a source structure or an existing source field

1. Create Individual source fields - By clicking on the button ‘Create source field’ you can specify the field name, field label, field length and field type

During data read, you can specify whether date values are converted into the internal date format (YYYYMMDD) and amount fields are converted into the calculation format (1234.56)

‘Selection Parameter’ can be set during Read/Convert data. If you select this indicator, the corresponding field is made available as selection parameter when reading or converting data.

2. Maintain Source Fields in Table Form – Clicking on the ‘Table Maintenance’ button displays the fields in a tabular format.

Page 32: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Maintain source structure… contdMaintain source structure… contd

Different possible ways of defining and maintaining the source fields:

• 3. Copy Source Fields from Other Sources : By selecting ‘Copy Source Fields’ displays the following options:

- Upload (Text separated with Tabs) – The source field description is stored in a text file the columns of which are separated by tabs

- Copy from Another Object – Source field can be copied from source structure of another object

- Copy from Data Repository – Source field can be copied from a structure in SAP Data Repository

- From Data File (Field Name in 1 Line) - Source fields can be copied from a data file which should be stored on the PC in the form of text separated by tabs and contain the fields in the first line.

Page 33: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Maintain structure relationsMaintain structure relations

In the step ‘Maintain Structure Relations’, the structural relationships between source and target structures are defined. The possible target structures are defined during the selection of the object type and the import technique

To define structural relationships, position the cursor on the field target structures. Clicking create Relationship button opens a window that displays the existing source structures for selection

If you want to change the relation, remove the existing relation first. In addition, you can use Check to check the structural relationships for errors

Page 34: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Maintain Field mapping & conversion rulesMaintain Field mapping & conversion rules

• In the step ‘Maintain Field Mapping and Conversion Rules’, you assign source fields to target fields and define how the field contents will be converted

• All fields of target structure, which you selected in the previous step, will be displayed.

• For each target field the following information is displayed: - Field description - Assigned source fields (if any) - Rule type (fixed value, translation etc.) - Coding

Page 35: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Maintain Field mapping & conversion rulesMaintain Field mapping & conversion rules

The layout of the ‘The layout of the ‘Maintain field mappingMaintain field mapping’ screen ’ screen can be determined. i.e. we can decide whether the can be determined. i.e. we can decide whether the ‘Global data’, ‘Technical fields’ should be displayed ‘Global data’, ‘Technical fields’ should be displayed

Page 36: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Maintain Field mapping & conversion rulesMaintain Field mapping & conversion rules

To assign a source field, position the cursor on a target field in the tree structure and select Assign source field.

This displays a list of all available source fields for selection. You can assign the fields by double-clicking on them as well

Page 37: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Maintain Field mapping & conversion rulesMaintain Field mapping & conversion rules

After assigning the source fields, you define the After assigning the source fields, you define the conversion rules. The default rule is ‘Move’. conversion rules. The default rule is ‘Move’. However, you can select various standard However, you can select various standard techniques via pushbutton:techniques via pushbutton:

This deletes the coding assigned to the target field. In addition, source fields assigned to the target fields are removed as well.

The target field is assigned a fixed value

The data is transferred using ABAP command ‘Move’

A ‘fixed value object’ (variable) named FV_<fixed value> is assigned to the target field. This fixed value object is filled with an actual value in step ‘Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines’.

The target field is assigned coding carrying out field contents conversion using a translation table

Page 38: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Maintain field mapping & conversion rulesMaintain field mapping & conversion rules

By clicking this button, after clicking once on a target field (in blue), LSMW displays the list of available source fields, by choosing one the standard rule ‘move’ is used to link the 2 fields

By clicking this button, after clicking once on a target field (in blue), the source field is deleted from the target field

By clicking this button, the display of this step can be changed. There are possibilities to show or hide several aspects of the field mapping

By clicking this button, a syntax check is performed for the conversion program, generated from the field mapping

These 3 buttons, which are available for every target field, display the help function (‘I’), the possible entries (?) and the last one displays the documentation in LSMW

Page 39: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Maintain Fixed values, translations…Maintain Fixed values, translations…

In the step ‘Maintain Fixed Values, Translations, User-Defined Routines’, you can process the reusable rules of a project, which are defined at project level, so they are the same for all objects

Fixed value: Here you can specify the length, type flag for lowercase/uppercase and value in addition to the name of the field.

Translation: Here you can enter information on the source field and the target field. If you are creating a new translation you have to save data first before you can change it

User Defined Routines: This routine can be re-used in other objects of the project. The system adds in ‘ur_’ to the name that you suggest to use for this routine. It opens up an editor wherein you can enter your ABAP code

Page 40: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Process Step- Specify FileProcess Step- Specify File

In the step ‘Specify Files’, you describe all files to be used

If your legacy data is on the PC: In change mode, position the cursor on the line ‘Legacy data On the PC (Front-end)’. Select Add entry. A popup is displayed. Specify file path, file name and description and other properties

If your legacy data is on the R/3 server: In change mode, position the cursor on the line ‘ Legacy data On the R/3 server (application server)’. Select Add entry. A popup is displayed. Specify file path, file name and description and other properties

File for Imported data: Here, the file name is entered with file extension ’.lsmw.read’.

File for Converted data: Here, the file name is entered with file extension ’.lsmw.conv’. This file will contain all your converted data after applying the conversion rules if any.

Page 41: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Process Step – Assign FileProcess Step – Assign File

In the step ‘Assign Files’, you can assign the file name in step 7 declared as source file to the target structure defined in step 2 .

If you click on the Assign File button, after clicking once on a target structure (in yellow), LSMW displays the list of available source files.

If you click on the Delete Assignment button, after clicking once on a target

structure (in yellow), the source file is deleted from the target structure.

Page 42: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Process step – read dataProcess step – read data

In the step ’Read Data’, the file specified in previous step is, as linked to the target structures in . Even though you can select a range of transaction numbers, the whole file is being read, only the amount of transactions written is influenced. So for tests it is easier to read all data and convert only a certain range, because in that step the program stops after finishing the range.

Page 43: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Process Step – Display read dataProcess Step – Display read data

In the step ‘Display Read Data’, you can display the read data, choosing to show all read data or an interval as shown above. The data are shown as the source structures, in case more source structures are being used in one transaction, the hierarchy of the transaction is displayed by the use of a different colour legend. By clicking on one of the lines, you proceed to the field level of the line, where you can check the read data as shown below.

Page 44: LSMW Step by Step Tutorial

Process Step – Convert dataProcess Step – Convert data

In the step ‘Convert Data’, works like the step ‘read data’, but uses the conversion program instead of the read program. You can define a range of transactions to be converted, at the end of this range the conversion program stops running.

Note: It is recommended that when you load big amount of data in production, load the first 10 records so that you can check and change when necessary.
