Mass user creation using BAPI

[Former Member]

Hello,

last time I had to create a lot of users and lock them on few systems. I wrote a program that is using BAPI_USER_CREATE1 and BAPI_USER_LOCK. Program is expecting local .csv file separated by semicolons with Username, FirstName, LastName and ValidationDate. Program is importing csv file onto server and for every row is creating and then locking user. I used also RFC connection to run this program on other systems. How to do it just look below the source code.

If you want to run this program via RFC on target system just change two lines of this code before executing:

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_USER_CREATE1'

to

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_USER_CREATE1' DESTINATION 'target_rfc_name'

and

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_USER_LOCK'

to

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_USER_LOCK' DESTINATION 'target_rfc_name'

where target_rfc_name is a name of RFC to target system.

I hope that will help someone and save a lot of time by creating users from file instead of manually creating
