Hi All,
I am new to SAP. I would like to gain some knowledge about the different load options for SAP.
1) If we load data from any legacy systems(Mainframe, db2) what are the best available load options (IDOC,ABAP,BAPI).
2) what is a standard load to SAP.
3) any good articles or Books to gain knowledge about SAP R/3 and load options
Please help me in this regards.
Thanks in advance.

Firstly you are probably in the wrong forum. This forum is for Datastage not SAP. Datastage is just one of many tools that one can use to prepare data for loading and load data to SAP.
You might want to try SDN forum here

Also SAP is a very large ERP. If you after general answers then you will probably not get the answers that you want. But in an attempt to answer them briefly
Hope that helps.
The thing is each option has its own benefits and drawbacks and it depends on what you are migrating. Most often all 3 will be used in conjunction to perform different aspects of data migration. You can also add to that list LSMW, and BDC's1) If we load data from any legacy systems(Mainframe, db2) what are the best available load options (IDOC,ABAP,BAPI).
How long is a piece of string? This will depend on what modules you are migrating to. It could be transactional data, master data or most likely both.2) what is a standard load to SAP
Check Amazon. There are a few books out there on SAP R/3 but not sure if there are any specific to Data Migration. You should be able to find some on iDocs and BAPI's, maybe ABAP and LSMW.3) any good articles or Books to gain knowledge about SAP R/3 and load options
Hope that helps.

Re: sap load options
Hi
Usually in SAP for legacy Systems they are using LSMW ( This is a Transaction code also ).
The way to learn more about SAP is
www.help.sap.com or www.sdn.sap.com
