Find out use of tables.

Hi
I've been asked to list all the tables that a third party application use when it runs a process. How could I find out that?
Thanks in advance.

>
Paulie what I know is that the develoment department require to
add a new module to an old thirt party app, the providers of that app
are not on the market anymore so nobody support the app, it's a
black box. That's the point, thanks for worrying.Oh dear - I was afraid that it was some sort of scenario like
that!
That's why I been asked to list the tables.Hmmm.... listing the tables after a day's operations won't tell you much - if
anything - even after a week... even after a month... maybe a quarter.. or
maybe a year...
That's why I asked my questions.
Your best bet (and this is simply IMHO) is to try and ascertain what
tables are updated when the particular functions that you are
interested in are performed and then use the modified data
as a feed into a new app - i.e. only* ever select from the
new app schema - never insert and/or update!
Can you see stored procedures/triggers - I don't suppose so?
If not, then God alone knows what's happening at, say, 03:00 in
the morning - there could be dbms_jobs scheduled - can you
eliminate these possibilites?
What happens for example on the last day of the month? Of the
quarter? Of the year?
That's where the difficulty lies - you could, without knowing EXACTLY*
what you're doing, mess up your old app, which presumably does
something useful for your organisation.
Your best hope is that the designers were competent
enough to put in some sort of logging?
Do a find (run it overnight if necessary) to find all files (and
not just tables) that were updated - there may* be logs
somewhere.
Check if the designers put in a Last_Modified_Date_Time field
or equivalent in their tables - normally people don't - I personally
would insist upon it - not doing it is lazy and makes debugging
difficult and can help in scenarios like yours.
I hope this helps, but it looks like you're in a spot of
bother with this one!

How to find out name of table for a structure.

hello all,
I want to find out name of table for a structure ADDR1_DATA. can anybody pls tell me how to find out it?
Thanks,
Ashu

Hi Ashu,
You write the structure name in se11
after selecting the database table radio button
click on the where used list button in the application tool bar.
You will find the table name if it is used else where.

How to find out when a table was last updated?

Is there a way to find out when a table was last updated/inserted/deleted? Thanks!

There may be an easier way but if you are trying to get info on something that has already happened look at your redo logs and archived logs. It would be hard but in V$LOGMNR_CONTENTS you could find the max time for a given object. Note to use this you need to set up log miner. Since you did not give a version try the Oracle 9i DBA Guide pg 9-1.

How to find out all the tables associated with particular T-code or Program

Hi All,
In 4.6B we have a transaction code SE49, where we can see all the tables associated with particular Transaction code or Program.
But in ECC 5.0 or in ECC 6.0 this transaction code is not available.So is there any alternative where i can find out all the tables associated with particular T-code or Program.
Thanks
Shubham

Hi,
you are right, Transaction SE49 as well as SE48 do not exist anymore I'm afraid, they
are discontinued.
You might try to create a transaction variant:
1) Start SE93 to create a transaction variant
2) Specify a name, eg. ZSE49, and choose the first option:
   "program and screen (dialog transaction)
3) Here specify SAPMSEUZ as program, and 200 as screen number
4) Choose a suitable development class (package) if you want it to be
   transportable or Local (=$TMP) if non-transportable
5) press Save
Same applies for SE48, same program but dynpro 100.
Sorry for not being able the reasons behind the decision to discontinue
these transactions. I suppose at least part of the functionality was
integrated in SE38.
Best regards
Erika

Find out from which table a ES gets his data

Hello,
I'm now asking myself (for a couple of hours) how I can find out from which table(s) a Enterprise Service gets his data. I don't find any hint about this on ES Workplace, sproxy or soamanager. Has anyone a usefull hint for me?

Hi Marco,
This actually is an excellent question, as it allows to clearly realize, that ES Repository is only a modeling device and it does not contain any implementation details.
If you are interested in implementation details, then Services Registry and the respective backend system are your friends, as Enterprise Services are implemented in these backend systems and then published in the central phone book - the Services Registry.
If you haven't applied yet for the free access to the ES Workplace systems, do so as this will give you access to the SAP ERP discovery system that implements all the ECC related Enterprise Services.
Now, if you want to see the implementation details for a given service - start from the ES Workplace. Go to the Services Registry and find an ECC service of interest. Then, on the General tab of the service you will find the Namespace and Internal Name. Having these two values, log on to the ES Workplace ECC system, start transaction SE80 and select Enterprise Services Browser. If this option is not available, go to Menu -> Utilities -> Settings and select Enterprise Service Browser. Find the namespace and the service (by its internal name) then navigate to the implementing code - which typically is an ABAP Object interface and an implementing class.
The only reason I am referring to the ES Workplace Service Registry and its discovery system is, because it is a platform we all have access to. Each client builds their own SOA landscape, where only certain Enterprise Services are published in the Services Registry. And, of course, the system landscape can be more complex - containing not only ECC but other SAP Business Suite products.
I hope this helps a bit.

Andrzej

How to find out where a table is used in the code ?

I have a huge database, and I am adding a column to a table...
is there a query to find out if this would impact the code ? I mean I want to find all the places in the code with
insert into mytable, or update mytable.....
how to include both insert into mytable, and update mytable in dba_source ?

Use DBA_DEPENDENCIES:
select owner,name,type from dba_dependencies where referenced_name = 'TABLE_NAME'
and referenced_owner = 'TABLE_OWNER';For example:
SQL> select owner,name,type from dba_dependencies where referenced_name = 'EMP'
2 and referenced_owner = 'SCOTT';
OWNER                          NAME                           TYPE
PUBLIC                         TABLE1                         SYNONYM
SCOTT                          SELECT_EMP                     PROCEDURE
SCOTT                          EMP_DEPT_VW                    VIEW
SCOTT                          PP                             SYNONYM
SCOTT                          EMP_MV                         MATERIALIZED VIEW
SCOTT                          EMP_VIEW                       VIEW
6 rows selected.
SQL> However, keep in mind DBA_DEPENDENCIES stores statis references only. If your code references table in question in dynamic SQL you will have to parse DBA_SOURCE and in some cases, even that will not give you all answers.

How to find out index from table?

Hi all,
I've tried to create indexes to some columns from some tables to use for Oracle Text.
I ve got a error message saying that I can not create an index:
"cannot create multiple domain indexes on a column list using same indextype".
I was wondering if an index already exists for that column, how do I find out the name of the index that points to that paticular colum?
Thanks a lot
E.

Check the view dba_ind_columns
That will tell you.
something like;
select index_name, column_position, column_name from dba_ind_columns
where table_name = '<table name>'
order by 1,2

Failed to find out the source table of query in the formated search

Dear All,
I am trying to find out how to know the table that it is the source of a formatted search query. In the query manager --> formatted search --> select one of query --> double click to see the query. I see the query but I can't find out what table it will be used if the query like this :
SELECT $[$13.87.NUMBER] - ($[$13.9.NUMBER] + $[$13.88.NUMBER])
If I go to receipt from production form, the column no relate to the above query are mixture of IGE1 and OWOR, so what actually the table must I choose if I redesign the above query from query generator. I need your help to solve this question. I appreciate your answer. TIA
Rgds,
Steve

Hi Steve,
Assuming the FS is currently assigned to a form field you could try the following:
- Look in OUQR for the query and get it's id (OUQR.IntrnalKey).
- Look for this id value in CSHS.QueryID and check the FormID value of any records listed. It's not the table name you're looking for but the FormID might help e.g. 139 = Sales Order = ORDR/RDR1 etc.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Andrew.
