Change table entries with a workitem

Hi all,
I think this is an easy one for you. I want to change a table entry in a customer table over a method which is part of a work item. In the test modus everything is ok but directly over the workflow the entries are not updated (background processing). I'm using the modify command.
Thanks for your help
Thomas

Hello,
Did you put a commit in the method? Is there no update at all, or an incorrect value?
You can debug it by putting an infinite loop in the method:
Temporary, for debugging.
data: lv_rbtmp(1).
lv_rbtmp = 'X'.
while lv_rbtmp eq 'X'.
endwhile.
Go to SM50, find the program (usually user WF-BATCH) choose debug (Program/Session > Program > Debugging) and change the value to get out of the loop.
Don't forget to remove the infinite loop!

Change table entries in production

Is it possible to have authorizations so that specific users can change table entries through se16 in production even though the system is locked for changes?
Thanks,
- Prakash

You will need to create the Maintenance view for the table you want to maintain and then make a authorization group using se54 for this maintenace view. This authorization group needs to be defined in the role of the persons to whom you want to give acess. Now only these persons can maintain this table entries.

Transporting table entry with primary key 120 char

Hi all,
I have 2 separate questions which I feel are closely related.
In the url:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21eb6e446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm
It says:....
If the key length is greater than 120, there are restrictions when transporting table entries. The key can only be specified up to a maximum of 120 places in a transport. If the key is larger than 120, table entries must be transported generically.
How do I transport the table entries "generically" for such a table?
To further illustrate my actual problem:
My problem in the real world lies with the MIMETYPES table, maintained in trx SMW0.
I select the mime types row by row and do a Table Entry > Transport Entries, but get an error that says
"Key entry for table MIMETYPES may only be generic".
As a result it fails to attach to my transport.
(Note: the primary key of MIMETYPES is 128 chars long)
The Diagnosis long text says "The key is longer than allowed by the Change and Transport System (120 characters)."
The Procedure says:
1. Make sure that you only specify the character fields before the
 first non-character key field. You must enter the key with a generic
 ending. Enter the generic symbol directly after the specified part
 of the key.
2. You must enter the generic symbol at the latest in the 120th
 character of the key. 
What is this generic symbol that i need to insert at the 120th position??

Thanks Nick!
So the mysterious "generic character" is actually the asterisk (*). It works.
Strange tho as the error long text says to insert the "generic character" at the 120th character position of the key, but I found that altho I can save it, the transport still fails with the same error.
I tried placing the * right after the key value e.g.
KEY123*
and it worked.
Thanks again!

How to delete table entries with SE16 in debugging mode?

We are trying to delete some table entries which cause our InfoPackage short dumps in BW system. The problem is that we can only see the Display menu item with SE16 and the Delete menu item is dimmed that we are unable to conduct the deletion. SAP Support suggest to use debug with SE16 to do the deletion, but we can't figure out how!
Anyone's idea is greatly appreciated!

Then you are not at the right place. Lets start at the begining.
Go to SE16.
Enter table name.
Hit F7.
Enter selection criteria.
hit F8.
Double click the specific record that you want to delete.
In the transaction code field at the top, enter "/H" and hit enter. Debug is switch on.
Now hit enter again.
You should now be in debug and you should see this code..
form set_status_val tables ntab structure x031l
 using code name next for_lines.
field-symbols: <field>.
refresh exclude_tab.
if code = 'SHOW'.
 set titlebar 'TAB' with name 'anzeigen'(100).
elseif code = 'EDIT'.
 set titlebar 'TAB' with name 'ändern'(101).
elseif code = 'INSR'.
 set titlebar 'TAB' with name 'einfügen'(102).
elseif code = 'ANVO'.
 set titlebar 'TAB' with name 'einfügen'(102).
elseif code = 'DELE'.
 set titlebar 'TAB' with name 'löschen'(103).
Notice that there is a field called CODE in the IF statement.
Now enter the word "CODE" in the field names list, change the value to DELE and click the pencil. Hit F8. Now you can delete the entry.

Monitor Client Changes (table T000) with RZ20

Hi All,
For my customer I have configured Email on Alert with RZ20. This is all working great. Now I want to have an alert when someone opens or changes the client settings of our production environment. Is that possible at all?
We do have table logging set in this client.
Hope to hear from any of you!!
Grt,
Sjoerd

Hi
Yes it is possible to monitor client setting changes:
Goto RZ20 select your monitoring node, expand it select Entire System --> System Configuration --> Clients --> Select Required Client number, expand it select any alert you require, in your case you can select all of above as they represent SCC4 changes. One by one select them, press properties, in Methods tab in Auto reaction method, you can set email alerts.
So selecting all of these alerts will, keep you informed about client setting changes.
Hope this helps.

Translation of table entries with text table attached via SE63

ZMRAREA(Custom) table has a text table(ZMRAREAT) attached to it.I want to copy the English text in all the other language codes for one of its text field.
But when I try with the main object i.e. ZMRAREA,it throws "No object found" and when I try to translate using its text table( ZMRAREAT)
it says "no text found in source language"even though maintained in English.
Unlike ZMRAREA, if I try with some other tables with no text table linkage then I could easily do the translation using the path :Translation>> ABAP OBJECTS >> Short Text>> A1 Application Texts >> Tab TABLE >>CSKU<table name> >> Edit >> Edit >> Select the required record and proceed with the translation.
Please give me the path for translation of text tables in SE63

Hi
Hope this will work for you.
Reward if help.
Transaction SE63 enables you to perform the following activities:
- Call up an individual object to translate it directly
- Call up a worklist to find and translate objects requiring translation and belonging to packages assigned to you
- Define your translator settings to suit the way you want to work with the translation tools
This helps in translating the text to different language.

Calling javascript upon changing table entry

I would like to update some text fields whenever a user changes certain fields. I need this to occur "on-the-fly" as opposed to having to submit the entire page.
The field being changed as well as the fields being updated are all fields in a table (accessible via HTMLDB_APPLICATION.G_F0x).
Updating the fields in javascript is no problem. The problem is calling the javascript routine upon changing a "table" field.
Is there a way to accomplish this?

Without delete PDP table entry, I want to Order PO in R/3. How can I do it?

Hi SRM Gurus,
I am using SRM 5.5 with Extended Classic Scenario and Plan Driven Procurement(PDP).
My question is: I was unable to create PO with reference PR/RFQ/Manually in R/3.System is giving an error message 'you can order locally(SRM)'. Which material group and Purchasing groups are maintained in PDP table. If I delete this entry I can Order PO in R/3.
Now I don't want to delete PDP table entry and I want to Order PO in R/3. How can I do it?.
Please focuses light on this issue. Highly appreciate.
Regards,
John.

Hi
I think you can do in both sides
let me know your scenario too well.
I am in classic scenario
i can create a PR - if i have valid unique source of supply , PO will be created in ECC
If i have more than one source of supply , my PR will get EPRTRANS TABLE ENTRY with EPROFILE updated in EBAN table and my ECC pr wil be transfered to SRM and create a sc and this cart will be in cockpit.
I believe your PR has EPROFILE , thats why you could not create a PO in ECC side.
confirm me.
How to you assign a source of supply for PRs ? I wanted to know. so i can expalin easilyand any jobs you create to create a Auto POS in ECC after assign a source of supplt to your Purchase request.

Mass entry with LSMW record or using MI04 manuelly

Hi,
We have to ask some important guestion.
WE create an LSMW record instead of MI04 manully.But we have questions ,LSMW record cause any problem at backyard.
For ex:MI04 writes 5 tables,LSMW record writes to 1 table..

They certainly cheat you if they need 7 days for this LSMW development. (What do you pay, I do it in one day.)
But they probably offer more than just the development: like functional and technical documentation , reconcilation reports, maybe the entire process from creating inventory docs to posting of differences. Testing, training, knowledge transfer, go-live support.
LSMW does not do direct table entries (with a few exceptions, which are still SAP given) , LSMW only executes recorded transactions or SAP given import methods (BAPI, IDOC) which are save and you dont need to care about the tables yourself.

Table entries change

Hi,
how we will see who is the lastchanged in table entries.

Hi Kumarraju,
Sorry, got your question a wrong way. The following is the information on table log:
You must start the SAP system with the rec/client parameter. This parameter specifies whether the SAP system logs changes to table data in all clients or only in specific clients. The parameter can have
the following values:
- rec/client = ALL logs all clients
- rec/client = 000 [,...] logs the specified clients
- rec/client = OFF turns logging off
In the technical settings (use transaction SE13), set the Log data changes flag for those tables that you want to have logged.
If both of these conditions are met, the database logs table changes in the DBTABPRT table.
Use the RSTBHIST report to obtain a list of those tables that are currently set to be logged.
Hope it helps.
Thanks & Regards,
Santosh

How To See Change Log For A Table Entry

Hi Experts,
One entry is created in a table. I want to know, when that entry was created/ changed.
Is there a way to find it out.
PLZ NOTE: Table doesn't contain any DATE field.
Regards

Hi,
or else do like this...
In order to maintain the log changes the main pre reuisite is to checkmark the checkbox in dataelement of table filed.
To do this...
goto transaction SE11>enter ur table name>cleck on fields tab>cleick on dataelement->click on Furthercharacterstics tab-->select the checkbox'Change Document'.
If u dont select dis the u cannot see the log entry of the particuylar field..Do like this for each dataelement for each table field...selecting all the fields is not mandatory..u can choose the table field u want to see the log report..
Once u done with dat...
Goto SCDO transaction> click on create>give a name change doc startwith Z or Y only>Follow the prodedure and in-->name of table field>enter u r TABLE NAME->click on individual field checkbox.--->insertentries..
Once u done with dis..
Goto SE16->enter CHDIR or CDPOS->press ENTER->enter u r object id>F8
U can see the new and old value of a table entry.....
