Is table maintenance generator only for custom table?

hi ,
i have doubt is table maintenance generator only for custom table?

hi swamya,
Table Maintanance Generator is used to create/change/delete table entries in a particular table.
In the production system, end-users will not be having access to transaction codes like SE11 and SE16. Developers will not be having access to many transaction codes including the above two.To view the contents of the database table, we will use SE16n in Production system. All these authorizations will be maintained by BASIS team, by creating access profiles.So in order to edit or create the contents of a database table, we should go for table maintenance generator. In real time, authorizations will be maintained in production system.
The second reason is, we can edit or create multiple entries at a time, using tablemaintenance generator.
Apart from that we have options like 'Enter conditions' in table maintenance screen SM30.
hope this helps in clearing ur doubt.

Table maintenance Generator + Tcode for SM30

Hi,
I have created a table maintenance generator for a Z table. Then I created a transaction from SE93 for SM30 and passing table name as parameter.
My requirement is that the user should only be able to delete records from the Z table. It should not allow to insert or modify records.
When I execute the transaction created above it is allowing to insert, modify and delete records from Z table.
How to solve this issue? Please help.
Thanks in advance....

Sriram

Hi Sriram,
I don't know why your language has changed to German. When I change status ZULG, the language remains English.
To see what happens I have created new maintenance screens and I went into the Modification --> User Interface.
On the next screen I pressed Copy User Interface and after that I got a warning about diferent languages. I just pressed enter. Now the popup screen gives me the possibility to change the interface. I went straight into change mode, without switching to individual interface. I changed status ZULG (everything is in German), activated the status and returned to SE55.
When I start SM30 , all texts are in German.
Because this is not what you and I want, I started again, I deleted my table maintance and created it again. Went into the modification of user interface again and again copied the user interface. Now I went into change mode and I looked at my user interface (in display mode) and all texts are in German. Went back to the strat screen of the menu painter, ACTIVATED THE USER INTERFACE and now, when I change the status ZULG, all texts are in English.
So, all you need to do is activate the user interface before you change it.
When you have a 2-screen table maintenance (an overview and a detail screen), you might want to change status ZUDG as well.
Kind regards, I hope you succeed this time around.
Tom.

Regarding Table Maintenance Generator of a Database Table.

Hi,
I have two DB tables (These tables were developed previously) i am asked to maintain entries in these tables.
The delivery class of both tables is 'C' and in the table maintenace generator both have the "Recording routine" as "STANDARD RECORDING ROUTINE". But one of the tables is prompting for Work Bench request and the other for Customizing Request.
Could anyone please guide me when a table asks for a Customizing Request and WorkBench request.
Thanks in Advance for your esteemed replies.
Regards,
Raghavendra Goutham P.

Hi Raghavendra,
this is from help.sap.com
The delivery class controls the transport of table data for installation, upgrade, client copy and when transporting between customer systems. The delivery class is also used in the extended table maintenance.
The delivery class is also used in the Extended Table Maintenance (SM30).
It is not possible to transport the entered data using the transport connection of the generated maintenance interface for tables having delivery classes W and L.
Data that is entered is checked to see if it violates the namespace defined in table TRESC. If the data violates the namespace, the input is rejected.
Check this link for more info..

Include a field in the table maintenance generator

Hi All,
There is a Z table with MATNR and another numeric field and the table maintenance generator exists for the table. The requirement is to include another field for MAKTX ( Material description) in the table maintenance generator with input disabled. Is it possible to do the same in the table maintenance generator else please suggest me the best solution.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Srinivasa,
This is quite simple, first add the field MAKTX into the Table and activate it .
Now again generate the Table maintainence for the table.
from Table maintainence generator go to the main program
there click the screen maintained for Table maintainence generator .
in the Pbo of the screen write the following code.
assume table name is table1.
Loop at screen.
if screen-name = table1-maktx.
screen-input = '0'.
modify screen.
endif.
endloop.
this will automatically disable the material description field in the Table Maintainence Generator.
This is will solve your problem

Table Maintenance: Manual Transport for Entries in Customizing Table

Dear forum,
i'm facing a tricky problem at the moment. My customer wants the maintain a customizing table, but he does not want to transport the entries automatically (don't ask me for the reason), but manually.
The online help tells me, that this can be done.
In the SE11 i chose untilities -> table maintenance generator and for the subscreen "dialog data transport details" i chose "no or user, recording routine".
Continuing wiht the SE11 i chose untilities -> table maintenance generator -> environment -> maintenance objects -> transport "manual transport".
In the SE54 i created the events 10, 11 and 12 with the recommended coding from the online help.
But when i start the Maintenance via SM30 the points in the menue table view -> transport or edit -> transport are not active.
The function group does not include any generated statuses to activate the menue-points. What is missing toi get the popup, that asks me for the transport number?
Can somebody help me out or tried this before?
With kindly Regards,
Robert

wrong!
the online documentation says:
Manual transport
The object maintenance transaction offers a manual link to transports. You can branch to it by selecting the Transport menu option. In the transport session, you can then select objects to place them in a Change request. A special transport program may be available instead of the menu option Transport, to place the object in a change request. The setting Manual transport means that changes to the object are not automatically recorded. If the maintenance transaction offers an automatic transport link, in addition to the manual one, you should select the setting Automatic transport.
What has to be done to realise it except creating the events?

Purpose of table maintenance generator

wht is the purpose of table maintenance generator

Hi Pavan,
The purpose of table maintainence generator is to enable the table maintenance through SM30, and to implement and validation etc on table field inputs.
SE11->Utillities->table maintainence generator
You need to enter the values of following fields:
1. Table name
2. Authorization group , and authorization object (select the suitable one )
3. Function group and package
4. Maintainence type : single or double screen maintainence view depending on the option selected.
5. Maintain screen number : you may specify a value or let the system generate one for you.
The validation code for the table entry is written in the flow logic of this screen. Even some of the fields may be made display only , by adding suitable code in the logic or directly disabling the input in table control in the layout.
Table maintanance is for creating,adding datas to an existing table.
it is for adding muiltiple records at a time in the table
A table can be manipulated by a program or manually.
When creating table, you will find a check box 'Table maintenance allowed'. If we
check that option, we can manually enter entries using SE16 or table
maintenance generator screen.
SE16 is for data browser.
Go to SE11, give the table name and click on change. Then Go to utilities--> Table
maintenance generator.
In the table maintenance generator screen, we should give Authorization Group,
Function Group name (Function Group name can be same as table name),
Maintenance type can be one step or two step, usually we will create with one
step. we should give maintenance screen number. After clicking on create button,
a table maintenance generator will be created.
To check it go to SM30 . In SM30, we find display, Maintain options.
We can view the table contents by choosing Display and we can create table
entries by choosing Maintain.
In the production system, end-users will not be having access to transaction
codes like SE11 and SE16. Developers will not be having access to many
transaction codes including the above two.
To view the contents of the database table, we will use SE16n in Production
system. Please find out the difference between SE16 and SE16n.
All these authorizations will be maintained by BASIS team, by creating access
profiles.
So in order to edit or create the contents of a database table, we should go for
table maintenance generator. In real time, authorizations will be maintained in
production system. (even in development and Test systems to some extent).
There is an audit like Sarbanes-Oxley Act for American clients, where every thing
will be audited by government agency. To know more about SOX, use the links on
the right hand side of this page.
The second reason is, we can edit or create multiple entries at a time, using table
maintenance generator.
Apart from that we have options like 'Enter conditions' in table maintenance
screen SM30. Please try to find out the use of those, by creating an example.
Table Maintenance generator: Difference between one step and two steps.
While creating table maintenance generator, we find below options:
When we choose one step, we have to give the screen number in Overview Screen field.
When we choose two step, we have to give both overview screen number and single screen number.
You can give any number for screen. Dont give 1000 screen number. As this
number is reserved for selection screen.
When we choose two step, two screens will be created for table maintenance. For
single step only one screen will be created.
When we choose two step, table maintenance will work as follows
Go to SM30, give the table name for which you have created table maintenance-
Overview screen will be displayed. To create entries, when you click on new
entries. Another screen will be displayed, where you give input and save. You can
enter one record at a time.
Go to SM30; give table name for which you have created table maintenance-
Overview screen will be displayed; To create entries click on new entries, you can
enter the records on the same screen. You can enter multiple records at a time.
We use single step generally, as it is user friendly.
To completely understand the difference and above points please do exercise by
creating table maintenance generator in both ways (using single step and two
step).

One step, two step in Table Maintenance Generator
Single step: Only overview screen is created i.e. the Table Maintenance Program will have only one screen where you can add, delete or edit records.
Two step: Two screens namely the overview screen and Single screen are created. The user can see the key fields in the first screen and can further go on to edit further details.

Event code in table maintenance generator

Hi All, Need to call event in Table maintenance generator of the z table. I have to use 1st event (Select ’01’ – Before saving data in the database). Need to do fallowing job: Table cleaning : Delete all records with value year =< 2011 -New rule : No save can be done with value (Pst Var, PA,PSA, Cost = ‘ *,*,*,*’). I am attaching table entry with this mail, I have written the code for this but not sure please suggest me modification if required for this.Because i have never done this before. Thanks and Regards Sankil

hi Sankil
Some variable is not available in your code and you did not modify EXTRACT table.
Try to modify your code as blow:
This event has no standard routine. The following global data is available for the realization of the user routine:
•internal table TOTAL
•field symbols
•field symbols <ACTION> and <ACTION_TEXT>
•<STATUS>-UPD_FLAG
If internal table data are to be changed before saving, t he changes should be made in both the internal table
TOTAL and in the internal table EXTRACT.
FORM abc.
DATA: F_INDEX LIKE SY-TABIX. "Index to note the lines found
LOOP AT TOTAL.
IF <ACTION> = desired constant.
READ TABLE EXTRACT WITH KEY <vim_xtotal_key>.
IF SY-SUBRC EQ 0.
F_INDEX = SY-TABIX.
ELSE.
CLEAR F_INDX.
ENDIF.
(make desired changes to the line TOTAL)
MODIFY TOTAL.
CHECK F_INDX GT 0.
EXTRACT = TOTAL.
MODIFY EXTRACT INDEX F_INDX.
ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
SY-SUBRC = 0.
ENDFORM

Problem with table maintenance generator overview screen

I added a field in a custom table and then used table maintenance generator to regenerate the table maintenance screen.
I used 2 step to generate. The problem that I have is the field not displayed in the overview screen though it is visible in the single screen ( ie the second screen).
I am not sure where the problem is as the field is not visible at all in the table control of overview screen.
Please help me on this as to what could be the problem.

Usually it is enough to regenerate both screens and the modules, but sometimes it doesn't pick up all the changes. In that case just delete the maintenance dialog and recreate it. That should do it.

Michael

Table Maintenance Generator - Change

Dear experts,
I hv created a TMC for customize table with field lifnr and name1. I am getting F4 for lifnr field and the requirement is
when i enter vendor code and press enter, the name field should be populated automatically from LFA1 table.
When I go in edit mode in TMC, it ask for access key. Can anyone guide me how to resolve above???
Regards,
Jasapl

Dear Jaspal,
To fetch the NAME1 automatically, you need to write the logic in the Table Maintenance Generator.
Goto -> Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator.
Inside TMG,
Goto -> Environment -> Modification -> Events.
Click -> New Entries. Create a Form Routine.
Inside the Form Routine,
Write the select Statement as,
Select single name1 from Lfa1
into name1.
save activate and execute the TMG,

Table maintenance generator for a custom table

Hi All,
I have a requirement.
I had created a custom table with 5 fields with partner_id as the key field.
I had generated the table maintenance for this.
But, when i maintain via sm30, the maintenance screen should display 7 fields, i.e
for the partnerid, the firstname and the lastname has to be display as the second and third column.
So, in the maintnenace screen sm30, i should have 7 fields display... but actually in real custom table, there will be only five fields (except firstname and lastname of partner).
Please guide me how to do this development.
Do i need to change the code generated via table maintenance and add these two fields in the table control and code to retreive the values for the firstname and lastname.
Please help me.
Thanks,
Jaffer ali.S

it is not a wise idea to add your custom fields in standard sap table maintenance generator screens..
each time you do a re - generate, (in case you added a new field in the table, or changed a data element, ) you will have to regenerate your tabe maintenance generator, and you will lose your code...
in this case, it will be better to create a custom screen with these fields and write code to populate the table..
or to make it easy, create a maintenance view with all fields required,

Event for input validation in custom table (table maintenance generator)

Hello all,
I look for a solution to execute an event after the modification of a table field of a custom table to validate the user's input.
I already tried event 07 (Execution : Before correcting the contents of a selected field) of the table maintenance generator but it will be executed after some modification made by the Edit -> Change field action.
I could use the event 01 but in my opinion this event happens to late and errors are very uncomfortable for the user at that time.
Editing the dynpro events is not a solution for me because it should be easy to maintain the table structure at any time.
Thank you in advance
Robert

Thank you!
Event 08 just starts after the saving process after Event 07.
Event 18 gets executed when I click on the save button.
I want to check the data after the enter button was pressed as you can see it in several transactions.

Maintenance View for custom table with foreign key relationship

Hi Folks,
I have created a custom table with foreign key relationship with other check tables. I want to create a maintenance view / tablemaintenance generator. What all things I need to take care for the foreign keys related fields while creating the maintenance view / tablemaintenance generator.
Regards,
santosh

Hi,
You do not have to do anything explicitely for the foreign key relationships in the table maintainance generator.
Create the table maintainance generator via SE11 and it will take care of all teh foreign key checks by itself.
