BDC recording from testing client to development client
By Venkatraman N, IBM
This method would be useful, when you don’t have required datum in development client and
when you have same in testing client and you want to BDC recording with that datum.
Login to the Testing client where you will have data.
Go to transaction SHDB and press new recording.
As an instance, here we will try to modify vendor’s postal code of his address. So, give FK02 as
the transaction code to be executed and give recording name like ‘ZRECORD’.
Now it goes to Vendor master update screen. Opt a vendor and click the address checkbox and
press enter.
It will show the vendor’s address information.
Now change the existing PIN code 700019 to 560076 and press save. It will take you to the
recording screen.
Now you cannot create a program with this recording information in testing client. So, import your
recording information to one presentation server file. Press import button.
Give a text file name and save it in the presentation server.
Then Go to SHDB transaction in development client and go to new recording. Give the recording
name as ZRECORDINGNEW and opt the same vendor master updation transaction code FK02.
In this case your development client should have at least one vendor. If not create it and input the
vendor in FK02 transaction and as you did earlier select the address checkbox.
It will show you the address information. You don’t change anything in that and come back.
Because this is not the vendor to whom we are going to change his PIN Code.
Now it will show you the recording information. Delete all the recording information and press the
import button and browse bdc_recording file from the presentation server.
The previous recording information will loaded in to BDC recording and go back from the screen.
It would popup for saving the recording. Now save that recording.
Select the recording and press ‘program’ button. It will popup for new program creation. Input the
required details and the expected BDC recording program will get created.
