Tutorial: - LSMW (Most Easiest Way)
No ABAP efforts are required for the SAP data migration. However, efforts are required to map the data
into the structure according to the pre-determined format as specified by the pre-written ABAP upload
program of the LSMW.
The Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) is a tool recommended by SAP that you can use to
transfer data once only or periodically from legacy systems into an R/3 System.
More and more medium-sized firms are implementing SAP solutions, and many of them have their
legacy data in desktop programs. In this case, the data is exported in a format that can be read by PC
spreadsheet systems. As a result, the data transfer is mere child's play: Simply enter the field names in
the first line of the table, and the LSM Workbench's import routine automatically generates the input file
for your conversion program.
The LSM Workbench lets you check the data for migration against the current settings of your
customizing. The check is performed after the data migration, but before the update in your database.
So although it was designed for uploading of legacy data it is not restricted to this use.
We use it for mass changes, i.e. uploading new/replacement data and it is great, but there are limits on
its functionality, depending on the complexity of the transaction you are trying to replicate.
The SAP transaction code is ’LSMW’ for SAP version 4.6x.
For those with the older SAP version (4.7 and below), the data migration programs might not have been
pre-loaded.
The LSM Workbench carries out the following tasks:
• Reads the transfer data from one or more files (for example, spreadsheets, sequential files etc.)
• Converts the data from the source format into the target format
Note that with background processing, the input file must not be located in the presentation server.
Access to presentation server files is only possible when you are working online.
