Adding a field to a table replicated through SLT

We have a table (VBRP) that is currently replicated to HANA from ECC through SLT. Currently it has more than 2 billion entries in HANA. Now there is a business requirement to add one more field to the table in HANA.
If the table is small, we can easily update the filter settings in SLT and then stop/start replication in SLT which should recreate the table in HANA with the additional field and do the full data initialization.
But in case of big table, doing a data initialization again will take long time. Is there a way to do it without doing full data initialization again?

HI,
have a look into this blog: http://scn.sap.com/community/replication-server/blog/2013/10/09/how-to-adjust-a-target-table-during-replication

Error while adding user fields to user table using vb6.0

Hi,
I am adding a user tables using vb6.0 using DIAPI.
I am able to add the user table successfully.
I am getting the following error when i am adding the fields to the table.
"The metadata object for this object cannot be updated, since it's ref count is bigger than 0."
My code is as follows:
    oUserFieldsMD.TableName = TABLE_NAME_ITEM_LOCN
    oUserFieldsMD.Name = vTableFields(0, lCount)
    oUserFieldsMD.Description = vTableFields(1, lCount)
    oUserFieldsMD.Type = vTableFields(2, lCount)
    oUserFieldsMD.EditSize = CLng(vTableFields(3,lCount))
    lRetCode = oUserFieldsMD.Add
This error does not come up when i try to add the field to my table using the vb sample provided by SAP.
Your help will me much appreciated.
Thanks.

Hi Satish,
The problem is that you added the table and the objetc that you used to add the table is not freed properly. You need to free the object and then the reference count to that table will be 0 - which will enable you to add the fields
e.g
Dim pUTables As SAPbobsCOM.UserTablesMD
'Do your stuff
Set pUTables = Nothing
Dim pUFields As SAPbobsCOM.UserFieldsMD
'Do your stuff
Set pUFields = Nothing

Adding custom fields to standard table control in IW51

Hi,
I have added 4 custom fields to the standard table QMEL through the structure CI_QMEL .
In transaction IW51 there is a table control as show in the screenshot below.
The 4 custom fields which i have added in the standard table should also be added to this table control.
Can this achieved by making adjustments in SPRO settings or can it be acheived technically by using some exit?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Vignesh Sunkasi.K

Hi Vignesh,
Adding new fields is not possible, but custom subscreens can be added.
Check enhancements QQMA0001 (subscreen for notification header) and QQMA0008 (subscreen for additional data).
It might help you.
Thanks & Regards,

Fields missing in SM30 after adding new fields to the table

Hi ABAPers,
I added a new field & marked another field as primary key in the table. Then I generated the table maintenance view for the table in SE55 and adjusted Database utility SE14.
When i saw the table in SM30. The number of fields in the overview screen of SM30 shows less field then existing in table. i.e in my table i have 10 fields(3 primary). in SM30 it shows only 5 fields(3 primary + 2 normal fields)
In SE51, the overview screen of the table show less fields in the field list..
I want all the fields in the Table maintenance overview screen. Please suggest me a way forward friends..
Note: the system is 4.0B.
Thanks...Suresh Kumar

Hi
You have to re-generate your dialog for SM30 by table maitenance generator.
- From Se11 go to table maitenance generator
- Choose update icon
- Set flags for NEW FIELD
- Go to expert
- Set flag to re-generate dynpro

Adding Custom Fields to FAGLFLEXP Table

Hello,
We have a requirement to update WBS Element for Planning related Data. So have added custom field(WBS Element) in structure CI_FAGLFLEX04.
The field is visible when I open FAGLFLEXP table, but when I post data The custom field (WBS Element) is not being updated. Could you please let me know the process to update this field?
Thank you in advance.

Hi.
The procedure isn't so simple. There are several posts on the subject SCN. I suggest research before you start developing.
Start here:
https://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/cf/21eb61446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
However, the most important is: a) Is it really necessary to change the standard? b) There could be a Z table containing the new information and referencing FAGLFLEXP? c) What is the transaction that will keep the data? It has Exit´s for what you need?
As Vadamalai said below,
Actually your approach may be wrong, first as an ABAPer should ask to functional team, which transaction and where to insert the fields, it could be header or item level(I am saying example)
Based on tcode, you need to enhance the table level as well as the screen exit/BADI we need to pass screen to internal programming structure. the structure type will be table type of FAGLFLEXP.
Regards.
Douglas

Adding custom fields to DB table

Hi,
I added custom fields in std DB table using CI_* , activated table using SE14. Now I want to remove the added custom fields , I deleted the CI_* using SE11. It still appears in DB table, I mean I dont expect to disappear from DB table, when I double click it still takes to structure screen. I deleted include from SE80 also selecting Package, activated and adjusted DB table from SE14 after deletion, but it still appears and when I check the attributes it shows the same package , how to reset the CI_* , bottom line ,I want to make DB table normal as before, because of that I am getting dumps when I execute std DB table related T codes.
It should be done in easy way but not able to get breakthrough.
Please let me know your suggestions.
Thanks

Hi Sai,
Try to assign the CI_* structure to $temp,i.e as local object and then activate it first.
After that, try deleting the local object and adjust the table using SE14.
If still it does not work, ask your BASIS consultant to do an "Alter table".
May be that works!
Thanks & Regards,
Anshumita.

Adding SERVICE_ORG_RESP_SHORT field to Condition Table

Dear Experts!
We want to use the SERVICE_ORG_RESP_SHORT field in our Condition Table to define product Pricing. The problem is it doesn't exist in a Field Catalog (SPRO -> CRM -> Master Data -> Conditions and Condition Technique -> Condition Technique: Basics -> Create Field Catalog).
We see two possible ways of dealing with this issue:
1) Adding SERVICE_ORG_RESP_SHORT field into Global Field Catalog (SPRO -> CRM -> Master Data Conditions and Condition Technique -> Condition Technique: Basics -> System Configuration for Condition Technique -> Set Up Usage -> folders "Global Field Catalog: Fields" and "Global Field Catalog: Data Elements").
2) Using BAdI (SPRO -> CRM -> Basic Functions -> Pricing -> Define Settings for Pricing -> Adopt User-Defined Fields).
Please, tell us, which of these ways is correct?
Kind Regards,
Alexander Smirnyagin.

Hi Alexandr,
the first step mentioned above is required to define the field, so that you can use it to create a conditon table based on it and maintain master data for that condition table. In addition, you should implement the /SAPCND/ROLLNAME BADI for the field.
The second step described above is required to integrate the field for transaction processing, e.g. in a sales or service order. You need to define which order value should get passed to your pricing attribute.
Best Regards,
Michael

Does adding a field to a table affect a data block based on the table?

If I make a change to a table like adding a field does it affect data data blocks based on the table?

The other place I have seen where adding a new column to a table causes problems is when a programmer codes: Select * from table.
If that is coded in a form, the form will need to be recompiled before it will work properly.

Adding new field in customized table ZPM_QMEL_EXT

Hi all,
My requirement is to add a new field in ZPM_QMEL_EXT table numeric field no of months due (ZZ_CO_MON_DUE) .
Its value will be calculated as the # of invoices that were paid vs. what has not been paid and then from there, value of this field will be fetched.It has to be populated during the time of notifcation screen entry (iw51). The logic will be similar to this
SELECT FAEDN FROM DFKKOP INTO TABLE IT_DU_DT
                              WHERE GPART EQ WA_QMEL-KUNUM AND
                                    VKONT EQ WA_QMEL-ZZ_VKONT.
    SORT IT_DU_DT BY FAEDN ASCENDING.
    READ TABLE IT_DU_DT INTO WA_DU_DT INDEX 1.
    MOVE WA_DU_DT-FAEDN TO DUE_DT.
    CALL FUNCTION 'HR_MONTHS_BETWEEN_TWO_DATES'
      EXPORTING
        I_DATUM_BIS = SY-DATUM
        I_DATUM_VON = DUE_DT
      IMPORTING
        E_MONATE    = NO_MT.
    IF NO_MT IN P_DU_MT.
      WA_QMEL-DUE_MONTHS = NO_MT.
Awaiting your kind help .
Thanks

Hi,
There is only one option to include extra field for standard tables that is Append Structure other than we don't have any option.
For Customizing tables we can use Append structure as well as Include Structure.
Rules: Append Structure should be in last in Field column but include structure you can insert in any where it means between the fields.
Delivery class option and data class will take care automatically while upgrading the sap system one version to Another version.(upgrading).
For that you should maintain the those properties when data base table creation.
i hope the above information may helpful to you.

Adding a field to a table control of a standard screen

Hi,
I need to add a field to a table control of a standard screen (Transaction CAT2).
Could anybody please tell me how i could go about doing this?
Also, what customization would be required to display the field because there are way too many fields and only a few are being displyed as of now.
I will get the access(SSCR) key to modify the screen.
Regards,
Monica.

Hi Monica,
Did you name you customer field also "FIELD1_W", because the field should get updated then without any modification as in screen 2100 a "move-corresponding" is performed from CATSDB to these fields.
Regards,
John.
