Data Interfaces

Chapter 2 Summary
© SAP AG
l Batch input is an automatic procedure suitable for
processing mass data. It is used primarily when installing
the SAP system and when transferring data from a legacy
system (external system). When programming, the data to
be transferred must already exist in the appropriate format
for the screen. Also, you must use the appropriate
function modules to generate an executable session in an
intermediate file (known as a queue file). You run sessions
by calling Transaction SM35 and the data is transferred to
the SAP system. There are several processing and
administration options available to support you.
