The conversion program expects a sequential file stored on the application server as input, which has to meet certain format rules. Ĭonvert the data using the conversion program which converts the 'intermediate file' into the input file for the batch or direct input program (second 'intermediate file' - *.conv). Read the legacy data from file using the read program : an intermediate file (*.read) is created. If, for example, the data for SAP routing originates in several different files (such as one for the routing, one for associated texts) in your legacy system, you can use the LSM Workbench to easily merge such files into one source file during import. It is also possible to combine different files during the data import. This field exists in all the LS & R/3 structures. If the migration object has more one structures, each will be identified by distinct value of record type identifier (STYPE). The simplest way is to create a tab delimited text file. Prepare the legacy source file : There are various ways of creating the input file for the conversion program from legacy system data. The programs are /1CADMC/SAP_LSMW_READ_ and /1CADMC/SAP_LSMW_CONV_ respectively, where is generated by the system. You can modify and regenerate the programs from within the LSMW. Only point to note here is that the input legacy file must reside in the Application Server. The underlying R/3 program is /SAPDMC/SAP_LSMW_INTERFACE. If the object attribute is periodic, it can be run in a periodic schedule. You may view these but SAP does not allow changing the programs directly. The programs for Read & Conversion are now generated by R/3. More information about checking file names: SAP Note 1497003 ( ).All the design/configuration steps are now over. Specify a valid file name or contact your system administrator. It is not possible to access the file ''. However, your system administrator has specified that the file in this context must be stored in the directory '/tmp/' '(FI_COPY_COMPANY_CODE_DATA_FOR_VENDORS_0X)' or a subdirectory of it. File '' is not in the directory area '/tmp/' '(FI_COPY_COMPANY_CODE_DATA_FOR_VENDORS_0X)' i checked the sap note that was mention in the error but its not compatible with my system. I went to file tcode and found the folder that was mentioned in the error and tried to enter my converted data file but still it did not work. i used this program program several times in different project but this time i receive the below error message when i try to create batch input session. I am Trying to upload vendor master using lsmw batch Input.
