Adding a new field to a Z table

We have a Z table on which we have created a datasource. We have created a virtual cube on this datasource and queries are built on this cube. This setup is present on Dev, Quality and Prod environment.
Now we have added a new field to the Z table in Dev. We will be creating a new Infoobject for this new field and will be adding it in the Virtual Infoprovider and also in the queries.
1. Do we need to replicate the datasource so that newly added field is visible to the datasource? If no, is there any way?
2. When I have to transport this to Quality and Prod, do I have to capture all the components and objects (Table,Datasoure,Virtual Cube Queries)? If no, what should I capture in the transport request?

Hi,
First, you have to regenerate the datasource in order to add the field:
1) Log on to source system (where Z table is stored) and go to transaction RSA6.
2) Select the root node and click Expand (icon with '+' sign).
3) Search for your datasource (you can use the binoculars icon).
4) Click on Change.
5) Verify that the field appears on the list. Make sure that "Hide field" and "Field only known on client exit" options are not marked for this field.
6) Click on Save.
7) Select "Datasource" -> "Generate" (CTRL+S) menu option.
8) Use RSA3 transaction in order to verify the new field appears on test extractions.
Then, to replicate the datasource in BI:
1) Log on to SAP BI and go to RSA1 transaction.
2) Go to "Modeling" -> "DataSources" section.
3) Search for your datasource and right click on it. Select "Replicate metadata" from context menu.
4) Add the new InfoObject to the VirtualProvider.
5) Update the transformation which joins the DataSource to the VirtualProvider.
As far as transport requests are concerned, even though it requires more work, it is a good practice to group objects in different transport requests according to their type:
In the source System (R3 for instance):
1) One transport request with the table.
2) One transport request with the datasource and its structure.
In BI:
1) One transport order with the datasource replica.
2) One transport order with the new InfoObject(s).
3) One transport order with the modified VirtualProvider.
4) One transport order with the modified transformations from the datasource towards the VirtualProvider.
5) One transport order with the Queries and their elements.
I hope this helps you.

Maximiliano

Adding a new field to a DB table

Hi,
I am working on 4.6C.
The requirement is to add an extra field to a database table which already has data in it...
Will this effect the system in any way...if I add a field with the data in the table.
What precuations do i have to take before adding an extra field to a DB table.
I was wondering what will happen when i need to transfer the TR.. Basically the data is there in Production and Quality and not in development... so it will not be a problem in development...
I mean changing the structure of the table with data in it ... Is it Ok...
Thanks & regards

Hi Sam,
you can add a new field to any database table if even
if contains data in production, only thing to do is u just
have create an append structure to that table and in that
append structure just create the new field.
NOTE : Naming Conventions as follows:
For Append Structure e.g :
In se11 enter Table Name and select change button.
now select GOTO option in the menu bar and select APPEND STRUCTURE option.
now the screen shows u an default name for ur append structure, so dont change the name
just hit enter button and
now enter the your new field name with two Z's infront of the field.
e.g if ur field name is MATNR then enter ZZMATNR as ur field in the append structure.
and now save and activate and also adjust in the DATABASE UTILITY.
thanks & regards,

Hi,
Do u want to know about the authorization means go to table maintenance generator first.
Now get the authorization object of your table.
Goto transaction SU21.
List of object class will be displayed.
Double click the object class BC_A.
Now a list of object will be displayed.
Double click the object S_TABU_DIS (Table Maintenance)
U will find wat all fields used in tht, ACTVT is the field which specifies the activities of ur table.
Reward mark if this is useful.

Adding a new field in BCONT table and updating it

Hi All,
Is there any BAPI/BADI which will allow to add a new field in standard BCONT table and update its value?
Your solution will be really helpful.
Thanks,
Nirupam

Hi Santosh,
This is required for UCES. We need to add a field in BCONT table (SE11/SE16), which will hold a flag value, i.e Y/N.
The value will be updated through a custom FM being used in UCES, and also based on the value there is a validation inside UCES.
This field need not be displayed inside any SAP screen.
thanks,
Nirupam

The search help exit allows you to modify functionality of search help. If you add a new field to the
parameter list that is not contained on the selection method you can manually populate it within the search
help exit.
This would be performed within the u2018STEP DISPu2019 section. Once within this section all search help
data has been retrieved and is stored in table RECORD_TAB (record_tab-string) as one long string value.
Therefore you need to read table SHLP in-order to locate position of value within string.
Example:
To find position of personnel number (PERNR) within elemenory search
help M_PREMN you would use the following code:
Loop at record_tab.
     read table shlp-fielddescr into wa_shlp
                                   with key tabname   = 'M_PREMN'
                                            fieldname = 'PERNR'.
You could then use this information in the following way, for
example, to find a persons organisation unit:
      select orgeh endda
        up to 1 rows
        from pa0001
        into (ld_orgeh,ld_endda)
       where pernr eq record_tab-string+wa_shlp-offset(8)
                                                  u201Cpernr length is 8
       order by endda descending.
      endselect.
      select single orgtx
        from t527x
        into ld_orgtxt
       where orgeh eq ld_orgeh and
             sprsl eq sy-langu and
           ( endda ge sy-datum and
             begda le sy-datum ).
If you have added a new field to the end of the parameters list
the next step is to populate it by adding this data to the end of
the record_tab string:
concatenate record_tab-string ld_orgtxt into record_tab-string.
modify record_tab.
endloop.

SAP Work Manager customization - adding a new field to equipment details screen (Syclo Agentry)

Hi Experts,
I am trying to add a field (NAME1) on the Equipment details screen under work orders in work manager 5.3 application.
I have performed the following steps, but I am getting an error while connecting to the application.
1) Create extension for Equipment class to add a new field.
2) added the new field (Name1) as the property to the standard object Equipment.
3) Added the field on the screen.
4) Added the field (name1) to the complex table ctEquipment.
5) Added the JAR file to Agentry.ini file.
6) Changed the Class mapping for parameter "Equipment" under group "SAPOBJECT" to point it to the custom (Extended) class.
7) Changed the class mapping for complex table parameter "ctEquipment" under group "CT_SAPOBJECT" to point it to the custom class.
8) after publishing the changes and re-starting the server, I get following error.
the log file generated (message.log) also has the same description.
What am I missing here? Any help would be really appreciated.

Hi Emanuel,
Thanks for looking into this issue.
I have performed the following steps as suggested by you, still it doesn't seem to work and gives the same error.
Below are the changes done on the ECC Side.
1) Copied the standard equipment class /SYCLO_CL_PM_EQUIPMENT1_DO to custom class ZSYCLO_CL_PM_EQUIPMENT1_DO. Changes made in the GET Method to get custom equipment related data
2) Modified the standard equipment structure /SYCLO/PM_EQUI_STR by adding one custom field
3) Configured this custom class as the object handler in the equipment mobile data object
4) Configured this custom class as the object handler for the equipment complex table
5) We are still using the standard BAPI Wrapper itself for getting the equipment data and the added field is reflected in the BAPI Wrapper table parameter
Is there something we are missing?

Adding a new field to the Address Data for a business partner

Hi Experts,
I am trying to add a new custom field to the address data (all structures and tables) that is linked to a business partner on SAP CRM via EEWB. Structure is the address structure wthin BUS_EI_EXTERN. Table is BUT020. I have been told that it is not possible as there is no Business Object that allows this. When doing an EEWB, the only business object is BUPA, which when selected, adds the new custom field to BUT000. I would like the field to be added to BUT020 (Address Table). This leads me to believe that there is no standard way of doing this, which ultimatley means that it would need to be done manually. Please help me with this predicament.
