Timing Issue

Remember: A batch input

session is created when you
execute a BDC program (time1),
but it is processed at a different
time (time2).
BDC program
executed -
Batch input
session created
Time2

Time1 Batch input

session processed -
SAP database updated

Program “RSBDCSUB”

Execute program
“RSBDCSUB”

Specify batch input session to process.

Batch input session scheduled to be

processed
in the background.

Demonstration

 Creation of a custom batch input session for transaction XD02 (Change

Customer).
 Processing the created session manually or through RSBDCSUB.

Questions

 Why “RSBDCSUB” program is used ?

 Which transaction we used to process Batch Input Session ?
 What are the different modes of processing batch input sessions ?
