Loading lots and lots of responsibilities - Problem solved

[Dan Stoicof]

I followed Edwin's directions  and we were able to load 5000+ people in
over a dozen responsibilities.  

One word of caution: you cannot update the priority number from the
BDC.  There is a program bug that won't allow it, when you run batch. 
To update the priority number, we updated infotype 1240.

Thanks Edwin!

Hi Dan,

At the risk of getting slapped around for mentioning the word 'BDC'.  I

have answered this before see below how were able to load lots and lots
of 
responsibilities.  You could also use CATT or LSMW migration workbench
to 
achieve the same result.  I haven't tried this on 4.7 but I am hopeful
it 
should work.  Good Luck

Hey Andy, 

We had the same issue some time ago and we wrote a BDC based program to
do 
the load this data in 4.6C. 

The trick was not to use the PFAC transaction since it is not friendly
for 
creating the BDCs and also as you may have noticed you cannot use PFAC
in 
a productive environment in 4.6C. 

What you need in your program is: 
1. call the function wsupload to load up your spread sheet information.

2. run a BDC to  transaction OCCU_RESP  to create your positions 
3. run a BDC to transaction PPO2 to link your new responsibility to the

position. Transaction PP02 was used to separately here to once again
get 
over constraints with using BDC on OOCU_RESP. 

Hope this helps! 

Edwin.

Loading lots and lots of responsibilities






Greetings,

We have the need to load thousands of responsibilities into several
rules.   As this cannot be done manually, we are thinking to writing a
program to do this.  Debugging PFAC revealed the function
RH_RESPONSIBILITY_MAINTAIN to add the responsibility.

The problem is that the function does not allow us to pass all the
information needed in its parameters.  The bulk of the info needed can
be entered in two pop-ups that eventually show while this function is
running (but we cannot access these pop-ups at runtime).

If I record the BDC I can only create the responsibilities, but cannot
fill them.

I'm thinking I'm not the only person who had this problem, perhaps
there is a solution out there already.

We're on 4.7/6.40.

Thanks!

Dan Stoicof
