Hii..

thanks,

I am copying one large non partitioned table (64 GB having ~300 Million rows) into other table. Table contains a PK with index.
To speed up insert process, i have used APPEND PARALLEL hint.
I am on 11.1.0.7 running on RHEL 5.4 with 16 GB RAM (4 GB PGA) and 8 processors.
Here is my Statement that does table copy.

Many Thanks In Advance !If above execution plan is your actual execution plan (generated in the session you've used to execute or even better taken from the shared pool via DBMS_XPLAN.DISPLAY_CURSOR) then you've requested parallel DML via your hints but you forgot to enable it on session level using
ALTER SESSION ENABLE PARALLEL DML;because your plan shows a serial DML operation. So effectively you're scanning the source table in parallel and everything DML related has to be done by the QC. That seems to correspond to what you were observing.
With parallel DML enabled you'll notice PX operations around the LOAD AS SELECT operation in addition to the PX operations for the query.

Field Symbols and field groups
Field Groups / Extracts

Field Symbols
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/fc/eb387a358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Field symbols: are placeholders or symbolic names for other fields. They do not physically reserve space for a field, but point to its contents. A field symbol cam point to any data object. The data object to which a field symbol points is assigned to it after it has been declared in the program.
Whenever you address a field symbol in a program, you are addressing the field that is assigned to the field symbol. After successful assignment, there is no difference in ABAP whether you reference the field symbol or the field itself. You must assign a field to each field symbol before you can address the latter in programs.
Field Groups:
A field group is a user-defined grouping of characteristics and basic key figures from the EC-EIS or EC-BP field catalog.
Use
The field catalog contains the fields that are used in the aspects. As the number of fields grows, the field catalog becomes very large and unclear. To simplify maintenance of the aspects, you can group fields in a field group. You can group the fields as you wish, for example, by subject area or responsibility area. A field may be included in several field groups.
When maintaining the data structure of an aspect, you can select the field group that contains the relevant characteristics and basic key figures. This way you limit the number of fields offered.
A field group combines several existing fields together under one name
like
FIELD-GROUPS: fg.
then you can use one insert statement to insert values in fields of field-group.
INSERT f1 f2 ... INTO fg.
Field symbols
If u have experience with 'C', then understand this to be similar to a pointer.
It is used to reference another variable dynamically. So this field symbol will simply point to some other variable. and this pointer can be changed at runtime.
FIELD-SYMBOLS <FS>.
DATA FIELD VALUE 'X'.
ASSIGN FIELD TO <FS>.
WRITE <FS>.

Hiding a Maintenance View in a View Cluster

Hello ABAP Experts,
We have a scenario where we would like to hide a maintenance view to an existing view cluster based on condition.
Is it possible via events of a view cluster, where i can hide the view at runtime based on some condition before the view cluster is displayed ?
Is there any way as well, which help achieve this hiding of views ?
For example in the below View Cluster, i would like to hide "Define object links" view from the main view cluster "Define document Types".
Thanks,
Naresh

Hi Naresh,
Yes, you can do it in events of a view cluster, define a subroutine and bounding it to event(02) in SE54,
when you define the subroutine, it will ask you creat a mian program, in this main program, you need 'INCLUDE lsvcmcod'.
Then you can access some standard data, http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/62/c302c7de8e11d1a5960000e82deaaa/frameset.htm
INCLUDE lsvcmcod.
FORM yourSubroutineName.
DATA: viewname TYPE vclstruc-object,
        error_flag TYPE vcl_flag_type,
viewname = 'ZTEST_VIEW1'.
* PERFORM vcl_set_table_access_for_obj USING    viewname
*                                       CHANGING error_flag.
----> according your condition to change the view.
IF xxx = yyy.
DELETE vcl_struc_tab WHERE object = viewname.
ENDIF.
ENDFORM.

Possibility to edit datasets, when there is already a maintenance view?

Hello again,
is it right that I can modify datasets even when there exists a generated maintenance view for the table?
It was usual for me, that in the transaction SE16 don't allow that.
Thank you for your answers!
Melanie

Depends on the setting for "delivery and maintenance" in SE11, should be set to "allowed with restrictions" for the underlying tables of the view. Also check the very good F1 help for this field.

Can I use classes and methods for a maintenance view events?

Hello experts,
Instead of perform/form, can I instead use classes and methods, etc for a given maintenance view event, lets say for example I want to use event '01' which is before saving records in the database. Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot guys!

Hi viraylab,
1. The architecture provided by maintenance view
   for using EVENTS and our own code inside it -
   It is provided using FORM/PERFORM
   concept only.
2. At this stage,we cannot use classes.
3. However, inside the FORM routine,
   we can write what ever we want.
   We can aswell use any abap code, including
   classes and methods.
(But this classes and methods won't have any
   effect on the EVENT provided by maintenance view)

How to create a variant to a maintenance view (trans: SM31)

Hi gurus.
I have created a maintenance view (called z_jest). By running it from SM31 there is a variant option. However, I am not able to create the variant which I want to filter a selection upon in this transaction.
I have even looked into transaction SE54 and created a variant for the maintenance table view there( called z_jestv). Then going back to transaction SM31 and view z_jest, i push 'Variant' radiobutton and type as variant: 'z_jestv', I only get the message: "Variant z_jestv for object z_jest does not exist".
Can anybody please advice on how to create and/or connect the variant to the maintenance view?
Regards LL.

Hi Mahalakshmi
Thanks for reply.
When I look into the procedure, there is a prerequisite: "The basis dialog for which the maintenance variant is created already exists."
I am a little bit unsertain if I miss this 'Basic dialog'. Can you please advice on how to check / create this 'basic dialog' before I go on to create the variant. (I need this 'basic dialog' as input in the procedure you sent.)
(Note: I have already created a 'maintenance dialog' for the view, but I have a feeling, that is something different...)

Using DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE with a Maintenance View

Hi,
I am using a maintenance view to insert values into a table. When user creates a new entry, based on the value provided for a field,I need to fill a read-only field. In PAI, when user enters a value for one field, I am using FM 'DYNP_GET_STEPL' to get the current line and then DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE to fill the contents to the read-only field. But this does not seem to work. Any idea?
Regards
Rachana

Hi Tamas,
I tried both the options suggested by you.
I am updating the underlying structure, still its not visible when the screen loads again. But if you see the same field gets filled with DYNP_VALUES_UPDATE if an F4 help is used for teh first(editable) field and then my read-only field is also filled in the PROCESS ON VALUE REQUEST module.
So my guess is that, since it is a table control, it loops through the rest of the table control which is empty and my underlying structure gets cleared. So the problem could be where I am actually filling the field.
Is it possible to somehow fill the <EXTRACT> table so that teh value is not lost?
Regards
Rachana

Read Only access for a Maintenance view

Hi All,
I have a requirement like this.
There is a Z Maintenance View (namely ZVHR_GRD_TARGET), for this i have to maintain the status as Read Only, and have to create a transaction code for this view with only SE16 access.
I am doing like this.
In the Z view, in the tab "Maint. Status", i have selected the radio button "Read Only" and saved it.
I have created a transaction code for this view with SE16 access with the inputs
Transaction                                                           SE16
Selected the check box "Skip Intial Screen"
Selected the check box for GUI status
Name of the Screenfield                                          DATABROWSE-TABLENAME
value                                                                      ZVHR_GRD_TARGET (i.e, view name)
But the transaction code is not executing.
So can any help me out in the requirement

How to use table maintenance view in module pool screen

hi ,
want to use table maintenance view in a module pool screen so that i can edit, insert, delete and update date in to the ztable.please help.

You can simply call it via SM30.   Or you can call the table maintence view from any program(report or module pool) using a function module.
call function 'VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL'
       exporting
            action                       = 'U'
            view_name                    = 'Z_Table_Name'
       exceptions
            client_reference             = 1
            foreign_lock                 = 2
            invalid_action               = 3
            no_clientindependent_auth    = 4
            no_database_function         = 5
            no_editor_function           = 6

            no_upd_auth                  = 9
            only_show_allowed            = 10
            system_failure               = 11
            unknown_field_in_dba_sellist = 12

Validating records into a maintenance view

Hi folks!
I have a simple Z table (say ZTABLE) and a Z view based on it with some related description (say ZVIEW). The ZTABLE has a DEC field (called COEF) with 2 decimals and it should have only numbers between 0 and 1.
I set the valid interval from 0 to 1 but, as help says, it's only checked for CHAR, NUMC, DEC, INT1, INT2 and INT4 data types. Not for DEC.
Then I use an event on ZVIEW. On SE11 I went to "Table maintenance generator" - Environment - Modification - Events. So there I put the 05 event (Creating a new entry) and I programed the check. It works fine for new entries, but if you have a record on table and you want to change the COEF field you can put there any number, even outside the 0-1 range.
I tried with the 01 event (Before saving the data in the database) but it seams to be called only for last record.
Could anybody tell me what can I do?
Thanks!

Hi,
Since it is a Z TABLE..
You can directly modify the flow logic in SE51.
Go to SE51
Give the program name - SAPL + Function group name
Screen number
Press change..
In the flow logic..
Add a module after the FIELD ztable-number, in the PAI event..
Ex..
FIELD ZTABLE-NUMBER MODULE NUMBER_CHECK.
And in the module validate the number..
MODULE NUMBER_CHECK INPUT.
IF ZTABLE-NUMBER <> '0' OR
ZTABLE-NUMBER <> '1'.
MESSAGE E208(00) WITH 'Not a valid number'.
ENDIF.
ENDMODULE.
Thanks,
Naren

Unable to edit maintenance view in SM30

hi everyone.
need your help, I have one custom table, let's call it YTAB. This table has several maintenance views created for it, depending on company code. For YTAB, i have created a maintenance view YTABX.
When we moved YTABX to PRD, we cannot edit it in SM30. The user ID has the right authorization. The error message is "client 100 not modifiable". When I try to edit the mother table YTAB in PRD, I am able to go in and do the changes.
I have already compared the settings for YTABX with the other existing views, they are the same. My settings for the view are:
Access: Read, change, delete & insert
Delivery Class: C
In the table maintenance generator, i have a 2-step maintenance type, recording routine is Standard recording routine and compare flag is automatically adjustable.
Attributes for table YTAB also has delivery class C, table category is transparent table, table maintenance is allowed.
Thank you in advance.

Hello roch,
the direction in which mark points is right but i think you should get some more information on the principles of table types and sap system landscape.
Usually you should not be able to directly maintain any table. This is not only bad style but also a huge risk for the system consistency. That's why application data is always maintained via some kind of application which ensures that the data is vilidated before it is stored.
Customizing data should only be maintained within a development system and then transported through the landscape. To maintain these table you can use generated views, customer developed maintenance views, view clusters which all include automatical link to the transport system. If you would maintain these tables directly in the productiion system it would have another configuration than the development and the quality/test system which makes them more or less useless as you can no longer make any serious test if the server configurations differ.
To prohibit changes of customizing tables on production and test servers the admins lock the systems which results in the message you got. This setting is made in TCODE SCC4. Even if you have for any reason the authorization to use this transaction you should in no case change these settings without approval of basis / system owner.
Kind Regards
Roman
