Custom table entries suddenly deleted

We have a custom table in our production system that had 14000+ entries last Friday. Now, they're all gone. Production system is not modifiable, no one has authorization to SE16 or SM30 for deletions. No program that deletes the data has been run in this timeframe (based on ST03 data). What other ways could this data have been deleted? We're puzzled.

Kirsten,
you may want to check two things:
1.) Is there a delete or clean-up report for your custom table (check via the where-used list)? If yes it is very likely that someone ran it...
2.) It could also be that something happened directly on DB level. The admin accidentally dropped the wrong table, etc. This is not very likely but I have seen that happening before. Maybe the DB admins can even tell you at which time the table got deleted...

Marking Z table entry for Deletion

Hi All,
Based on some condition in my program,
I am entrying one entry in Custom Z table.
Also for some other condition,
I need to mark the Table entry for deletion only, but it should not Delete.
So pls guide me for:
1) How to make Custom table entry as Mark for Deletion?
2) When I put Select Query on table, how can I write that do not Select those
Records which are marked for Deletion ?
Rishi

Hi Rishi,
Create a new field of type 'CDXFELD' (Data Type) in the Custom Z table. Now populate that new field with 'X' if it is marked for deletion. Then you can select all those entries which that field 'CDXFELD' = Space.
i.e., if the field 'CDXFELD' = 'X' then it is marked for deletion else not.
Select *
from Zcustom talbe
in to IT_TAB
where CDXFELD = space.
Hope this will help..

Custom table entry if transaction fails

hey ppl,
One doubt. I am using a exit in sales order and the requirement is that once the exit is triggered,few values must be updated on the custom table that i have created. My question s that, i am able to modify my custom table but if for some reason ,after my exit if the transaction fails :
1. would the custom table entry be reversed back automatically?
2. Else, is it our responsibility to reverse the entry in the custom table?If yes, can you please guide me how to do it?
Thanks in advance.

1. would the custom table entry be reversed back automatically? Can't be sure on this. the entry will be updated to table once the Current LUW is updated.
2. Else, is it our responsibility to reverse the entry in the custom table?If yes, can you please guide me how to do it?
Yes. If entry is there you wll require to DELETE it otherwise you can just to ROLLBACK WORK.

Custom Table Entry not in Sync between Different Environment

Hi All,
we have different environment like Dev System, Quality system, performance testing system etc... these are all environment customs table entry not in syn .. Table entry should be syn. How to make it syn all the entry between all environment without do any manual work. Kindly help on this.
Thanks

Hello Mohammed,
It depends on what type of tables you are referring to. If you have a table of type 'Customizing', you have to transport your table entries across different environments and they will be in Sync.
If you are referring to tables of type 'Master Data', they have to be maintained in all environments.
Table of type 'Transaction Data' by default have different records based on your day to day transactions.
You cannot have all custom tables with same data in all environments. Hope this helps.

Reagrding transporting of custom table entries from D to Q.

Hi,
I am trying to transport couple of entries which I did using table maintainence in SM30. But when I go to Maintain option -> Table View -> Transport, I see the Transport option inactive.
Can someone tell me how to activate that option or how to move custom table entries from one system to other ?
Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi rajesh,
1. For this purpose, the delivery class of that table should be C = Customizing.
(at present it would be A = Application)
2. This is done in se11 transaction.
3. After changing the delivery class, we have to RE-GENERATE
the table maintenance.
4. Then, whenever we do SM30, it will automatically ask for a request number.

Table entries got deleted ,how can we find who has deleted these entries

Hi Team,
We are using ECC6 /Oracle,few days back 2000 entries got deleted from one table.
How can we get the log for deleted entries with all the details like User ID ,Date and time of Deletion.
I have already checked STAD and DBACOCKPIT for SQL queries of deletion of records but could not find any log .
Kindly help me to resolve this issue.

Yes, under controlled situation, you can find some information(at least date and time with what was deleted) even if deleted from SQL level.
You can use ORACLE's log miner - Using LogMiner to Analyze Redo Log Files
Or have a look at this note: 1128990 - Using Oracle Logminer with Oracle >= 10g

Transporting Custom table entries

Dear Experts,
I have to add some values to the fields in my customizing table(Delivery class C).
Iam doing it through SM30.
I dont want to add any new entries but change the values in some fields.Can I make these changes and put it under a change Request and transport it to the Q and productive systems so that only these changes are made there and the other rows remains unaffected...
The reason why Iam asking this when I try to edit the table with SM30,I get a message
"Individual entries cannot be put in ChangeRequest"
Regards
K

Make the table contents transportable by creating a "table maintenance generator" in SE11 under Utilities -> Table maintenance generator.
In that screen for the section "Dialog data transport Details" the "Standard Recording Routine" option should be selected.
Then only will the system ask for Transport request when entering data through the generated maintenance view in SM30.
If you already generated table maintenance and now setting the Standard Recording Routine attribute, you need to regenerate the table maintenance by clicking the change button and selecting all check boxes. Remember that if you created any custom events / screen modification, they need to be put back after regeneration.
Also change the "delivery class' in the SE11 table attributes to 'C' - Customizing table

Custom table entries transportable / maintainable in production environment

Hi,
I have a custom table with table maintenance generator (automatic transport of table entries). I would also like to maintain the table entires in the production environment (i.e. using SM30 transaction, rather than transporting the entries from Quality). I hope there is a cofiguration to do this.
Could any one help me on this.
Thanks in advance.

Adding to what others have suggested, it is not advisable to give SM30 access to your users. Its better to create a parameter transaction for the maintainance dialog and give the user access to that transaction. Other way of restricting the access is using authorization group selection while creation of maintainance dialog (&NC& will give access to every one). Check the below link to see how to create a parameter transaction for sm30.

Error in populating Custom table entries records

Hi,
While uploading data from excel sheet to one of the custom tables (around 4500 records at one go), fields get populated in respective fields. One of the fields is Equnr(Equiment number) in that table. When uploading with 10 character , when we check it in table it doesnt appear how ever when give leading zeros are appended to the same it gives result. Check with the conversion exit input associated with the data type. Same is with the matnr field.
filed in custom table EQUNR , data element equnr (Equipment Number) , char 18

Hi dear,
Take that particular field of NUMERIC type in your internal table and then try uploading and saving data.
Hope this will hlp.

Unlock custom table entries after user exits using /n

Hello,
I want to lock a record in a custom table at the beginning when users execute a transaction. Users do various activities and save the change then the lock can be released. My issue here is after I lock when the user execute the transaction, if the user does not save or come out using exit keys, for example press /n or just close the session, I need to still unlock the record. Could any one pls suggest what is the best approach. How does sap handles when we use VA02 and just close the session?
Many thanks
Ramesh

Ramesh,
You need to check for the other actions besides save. Perform the same unlock for other action as you currently do for a save.
If SAVE.
unlock.
Else
unlock
endif.

How to assign custom table entries to request

Hi,
I have around 4000+ entries in Z* table(Customized data).
Now i have to transport to QA system by assigning request no.
How to assign the above all entries to the request.
Thanks
~KER

Hi Ramesh,
That you can do it if you select
Recording routine as <u>Standard recording routine</u> under table maintainance generator.
But in my case the table has been created with <u>no,or user,recording routine</u> option and updated all records in dev system.
So its not possible at this point of time.
Thank you
