In this step! you need to list ,hat fields are present in the source structure. The easiest ,ay is

to clic on Ta#le &aintenance icon to enter -ieldname! Type and ength for each field

9ote that your input file ,ill have four fields as ey fields and you need to update three fields

in the system.

Step 1* Maintain Structure Re/ations

Sales vie, of %ustomer &aster is stored in ta#le :9;;. Accordingly! you need toupdate structure ':9;;. needs arelation to a source structure.8

Even though you dont ,ant to update any fields in these structures! you need to create a

relationship ,ith source structures. In all! you need to create relationship for four target

structures.

2ou can also maintain re+usa#le translations and user+defined routines! ,hich can #e used

across conversion tass. In this case! that step is not re=uired.

Step 9* Speci3: 3i/es

In this step! ,e define ho, the layout of the input file is. The input file is a BTa#C delimited

,ith the first ro, as field names. It is present on my "% 7local drive8 as %?D)1.t0t.7See $i%ure )..8

Step 0* Read data

In this step! S&/ reads the data 7$i%ure )58 from the source file 7from your "%s localdrive8. 2ou have the option to read only selected ro,s and convert data values to Internal

format.

$i%ure )5 Read Data

Step ))* Con4ert data

This is the step that actually converts the source data 7in source format8 to a target format.'ased on the conversion rules defined! source fields are mapped to target fields.

Step )&* "isp/a: Con4erted data

/hen you convert data! S&/ automatically converts into the appropriate structure layouts!

$i%ure &9 %onverted data into multiple structures

9ote that if you had only one record in source file! the converted file has four records.

Earlier! creating this input file! so that the standard interface program can read it! ,as a #ig

nightmare! the primary reason #eing that it could have multiple record layouts. Even for a

simple conversion ,ith one input record! you ,ould have to create this comple0 file ,ith

many record layouts. The advantage of S&/ is that it prepares these multi+layout filesautomatically.

Step ).* Create batch input session

(nce source data is converted in internal format! you can create a 'D% session to process theupdates 7$i%ures &-and&08.

$i%ure &-%reate 'D% Session

Step )1* Run Batch ,nput Session

2ou can e0ecute the 'D% session #y Run Batch input session. E0ecuting a #atch input

session is a standard S&H*transaction for managing 'D% sessions. (nce you have

successfully e0ecuted the #atch input session! the customermaster records are updated in the
