Integrate
If the process post is based on a process with a single BDC Script template, a user can select from any of the options in the BDC Post Method list box on the Advanced tab of the Process Post page’s Vertical View. A process post with multiple templates, or one that is based on a template type other than BDC Script, can only use the StandardSAPPosting BDC Post Method.
Methods available for a process post based on a single BDC Script template include:
- BOAFileCreation – Creates files on the web server that can be used in the /BOA/ZBDCPROCESS program in SE38.
- BOAPosting – Posts immediately using the BOA Function Module.
- BOAPostingWithErrorSessionCreation – Posts immediately using the BOA Function Module and creates an SM35 session with any errors. The error session contains only the records that failed to post, successful transactions are not included.
- BOASessionCreation – Uses the BOA Function Module to create an SM35 session containing all of the data in the process post, but does not post the data to SAP.
- StandardSAPPosting – Posts using the standard SAP Function Modules.
Depending on the BDC Post Method selected, certain settings on the Advanced tab should not be used. For example, any process post using StandardSAPPosting will not use any settings in the BOA Function Module Upload Options section or in the BOA BDC File Options section.
Only process posts using the BOAFileCreation BDC Post Method should use the settings in the BOA BDC File Options section.
View the field descriptions for the Process Post page’s Vertical View for detailed information.
The following table lists which settings should be used based on BDC Post Method and other factors.
