You can generate user-defined data transfer programs and integrate them in the Data Transfer Workbench. This means that you can use also the functions of the workbench for user-defined transfer programs.

You create customer programs and integrate them in the Data Transfer Workbench as follows:

1. Run a transaction and use the batch input recorder to record it.
2. Base the user-defined data transfer program on this recording.
3. Create a customer transfer object for this transfer program and integrate it in the Data Transfer Workbench.

User-defined data transfer programs and customer transfer objects can also be deleted. There is also a direct link to the ABAP Dictionary in case you need to maintain structures there.

1. Start the Data Transfer Workbench by entering Transaction SXDA.
2. Choose Goto ® Internal. customer data transfer object.
3. Choose Batch input recorder.

This records a transaction upon the basis of which the transfer program is generated.

4. You create a recording on the following screen.
5. Enter the name for a recording and choose Recording ® Create
6. Enter the transaction for which you want to generate a transfer program and choose Continue.

On the following screen, you must enter the field values for those fields that are to be used by the next data transfer program. Screens, fields and field values are recorded when the transaction is recorded.

You base the user-defined data transfer program on this recording.

7. To save the recording, choose Recording ® Save. In doing so you transfer the transaction.

2. Generating customer programs

1. Return to the batch input recorder.
2. Display the overview of the recordings in the system by choosing Goto ® Overview.
3. Position the cursor on the recording using which you want to generate a program.
4. Choose Edit ® Create program.
5. Enter a program name.
6. Enter a title for this program and maintain the program attributes.
7. Save the program.

3. Creating customer transfer objects and integrating them in the Data Transfer Workbench

1. Return to the Data Transfer Workbench initial screen to integrate recorded customer transfer programs.
2. Choose Create a data transfer object.
3. Enter a number for the data transfer object that is within the customer namespace (9000 - 9999).
4. Also enter a short text, the generated data transfer program and a structure name that is not currently used in the ABAP Dictionary.
   The structure is created in the ABAP Dictionary, where it can be displayed.
5. The data transfer object is included in the Data Transfer Workbench.

The user-defined data transfer programs is integrated in the Data Transfer Workbench and can be used.
