Logical Data Base- Authorization Check

Hi,
Please tellme when is the authorization checked if the LDB is used in the program. If I am not using 'GET PERNR' statement in the START-OF-SELECTION then will this authorization check will be performed for the data being extracted from the Data base using select statement.
Waiting for reply,
Shwetambari.

HI,
No it won't perform if you write the select statment, when you write the code GET PERNR, then internally it will get the data based on the Auth check and a SET PERNR will be triggers. so better to use the GET statment

Logical Data Base - ADA

Hi, people,
I`m using Logical Data Base ADA in my program to generate some files, but when the program is executed in DEV System the files are generated normaly, but in the PRD system don´t work.
Someone knows if exist same parameter or why this problem occurs ?
Tks for all.
Flavio

As ADA is a standard logical database, if you don't change this object, there should be no difference, except Authorizations that may differ between development and production systems , check via [SU53|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/advancedsearch?query=su53+#sdn_content_category_value_wiki].
(In AM "Asset Accounting" class, check authorization objects : A_A_VIEW, A_S_ANLKL, A_S_GSBER, A_S_WERK.)

Logical Data Base to be used in the QUICKVIEWER

hello Abappers,
My client cannot select text fields using SQVI so he wants me to come up with a way for him to do so. I was thinking of creating a logical data base which can be selected in SQVI. I could build the FM READ_TEXT into the QV but what I need clarification on is outputting the text fields because the logical data base is really a set of table joins and since I am using the QV I do not have the flexibility that I would have if I was using a logical data base in a program.
Please advise if anybody has any ideas on this approach and how I would structure the output.
regards

Hi Santhosh,
Since you say you are a beginner, lets start this way, hopefully U know from what datasources in ECC or R/3 you are supposed to load data from. Once you are sure about it, then follow this steps.
1) Go to RSA5 transaction in ECC or R/3 System ( source system ).
2) Select the specific datasource from which data is to be extracted to BI and press Activate Datasources button on the top right.
3) Then on check whether this datasource is available in RSA6 screen.
4) Come to BI system, there go to the Source Systems screen, there select the specific Source System (ECC or R/3).
Go to U'r specific Infoarea i.e., SCM in that select the datasource for which U are supposed to extract data, right click and select Replicate Metadata.
5) Once replication is done now right click again on datasource and create and run the infopackage , if its BI 7.0 data will be extracted till PSA.
6) After this create Transformation by right clicking on the Datasource again. Since I guess U will be using standard datasource U will get automatic transformations between the source fields and the infoobjects. Activate Transformations.
7) After this Create a DTP process by again right clicking on the Datasource. Here U specify the Data Target to which data is to be loaded.
8) Activate the DTP, once that's done successfully, Execute the DTP by clicking the Execute Button in the DTP.
9) Monitor U'r data loading thru Monitor screen.
Hope this helps.

My requirement is to create "license revenue report through SAP Query with following fields:
VBAK:
Sales Document,Sales Doc type,net value of sales order in document,sales org,distribution channel,division,sales office,business area,customer purchase order number,customer purchase order date,sold to party.
VBAP:
Sales document item,target quantity in sales units,target quantity in UOM,usage indicator,billing block for item,business area,plant(own or external),
origin of bill of material,net price,SD document currency,material pricing pgroup,account assignment group for this material,activity type,personnel number.
VEDA:
contracts start date,contract end date,date on which contract is assigned.,installation date,agreement acceptance date
VBREVK:
clearing account for accrued revenues,clearing accountkey(offsetting account),total accrued value,currency key,amount in document currency,posting year and posting period.
VBREVE:
revenue amount,currency key,accrual period,company code,country of destination,profit center,posting year and posting period,amount in document currency,gl account,account for deferred revenue,account for non billed receivable
Is there any standard logical data base which gives all the required fields mentioned above? since i am not SD consultant i am not sure whether i have to take only above tables exactly or not
there are certain logical databases like SD_ORDER,SD_SALES_DOCUMENT which has tables VBAK,VBAP,VEDA but i am unable to join remaining tables VBREVE and VBREVK with those logical data bases
Please provide some valuable suggestions on this.

SAP QUERY -logical data base ADA

I have created a SAP Query with logical data base ADA,I have selected four tables in it.Do i need to link these tables if yes..where and how?The report is for fields in asset master data.
.But i get below error when i try to genaret the output :
Fields from parallel tables within a line
Line: 01
Field: Asset description
(ANLT-TXT50, table ANLT)
Field: License plate no. of vehichle
(ANLZ-KFZKZ, table ANLZ)
i get such similar five messages but they are warning..when i execute with warning however i get the fields with description but not with Value.Ex:i get asset description and not Asset number as required.

You don't have to link them, they ar linked that is the power of a logical data base
To get the text in your report you need the key fields
Like
(Lanque Key)
company code
asset number
Asset sub number
Go to info sets and look to the standard ones like /SAPQUERY/AM01

Direct database data access without data level authorization check

Hello,
My customer raised issue about direct database data access. Due to the customeru2019s strong security policy, it shouldnu2019t be allowed.
To prevent this kind of illegal data access, customer ask me to list up all the possibilities to display data without data level authorization check.
The things in my mind are
SQL Command Editor (for Oracle based system) : ORASPACE, DB02, ST04
Query Based : SQVI (Quick Viewer), SQ01/SQ02/SQ03 (SAP Query)
Data Browser : SE11, SE12, SE16, SE16N, SE17
Table Maintenance : SM30
Function Module : RFC_READ_TABLE
Function Module : DB_EXECUTE_SQL (DML)
Anyone knows anything which is not listed above?
Thanks

HI,
Generally in production user's should not be given all these authorizations.

Logical data base and work process

I have some questions on the above topics.
if some have an answer, let me know .
1. How many logical data bases can we use in our
report program
2. How to design our own selection screen when
using
logical database
3. How mnay update workprocesses can u have.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Roberts.K

Welcome to the forum!
In response to question 1:
You can designate only 1 LDB on the Attribute screen of the program. You can however, also invoke a LDB program using Function Module LDB_PROCESS. There is some good documentation associated with it.
In response to question 2:
If you specify a LDB on your program attributes, the LDB will present a selection screen. Any parameters/select options that you specify in your program are added to the selection screen that the LDB presents. If you use the Function Module mentioned above, then you alone will control the selection screen and have to pass selection information to the function module.
In response to question 3:
I am not quite sure what you mean by this one, but if some of the other SDNers have answered your question, then no need to clarify for me.

Logical Data base MSM vs Material master table MARA/MARC

Hi Experts,
What is the different between the logical data base (LDB) and the normal SAP table, for example MSM vs MARA/MARC/MBEW table. ? I mean we usually refer data to the normal SAP table in download or ABAP, what is the use of logical data base (exp MSM Material master) can download data or refer to MSM in ABAP?? Please help.
Best regards,
Eric

A logical database provides a particular view of database tables in the R/3 System. It is always worth using logical databases if the structure of the data that you want to read corresponds to a view available through a logical database.

Help with pnpce logic data base

Hallow I doing a program that use logic data base pnpce(my first time) and in the program I use get peras to bring the employee num and in the loop the name of employee
Something I doing wrong because its not working what?
I just wont to bring to my table person_tab employee num and name.
thankes
Tables :pernr
Nodes:persa
Infotypes:0000 like t_oooo,
00002 like t_0002.
START-OF-SELECTION.
GET peras.
LOOP AT t_0000.
MOVE t_0000-pernr TO person_tab-objid.
APPEND person_tab.
Endloop.
Loop at t0002.
MOVE t_0002-nachn TO person_tab-lastname.
MOVE t_0002-vorna TO person_tab-firstname.
APPEND person_tab.
ENDLOOP.
END-OF-SELECTION.

Hi there. I'm not sure what version you are on, but in ERP 2005 this is an obsolete statement. Here's an alternate way to get the information you're looking for:
TABLES: PERNR.
INFOTYPES: 0002.
DATA: BEGIN OF person_tab OCCURS 0,
       objid LIKE PERNR-PERNR,
       lastname LIKE P0002-NACHN,
       firstname LIKE P0002-VORNA,
END OF person_tab.
START-OF-SELECTION.
GET pernr.
person_tab-objid = pernr-pernr.
RP-PROVIDE-FROM-LAST P0002 space sy-datum sy-datum.
person_tab-lastname = p0002-nachn.
person_tab-firstname = p0002-vorna.
APPEND person_tab.
CLEAR person_tab.
END-OF-SELECTION.
Even if you don't end up using this code, you would need to change yours so that you aren't appending to your person_tab table until you have moved all of the data for the fields of your record. By appending twice like you currently are doing, you are creating two separate records (one with just the pernr and another with the first and last name). I hope this helps.

What is logical data base and how it is differfrom DDIC AND DATABASE

HI ,
CAN ANY BODY HELP ME TO FIND THIS

Hi
A logical database is a special ABAP/4 program which combines the contents of certain database tables. You can link a logical database to an ABAP/4 report program as an attribute. The logical database then supplies the report program with a set of hierarchically structured table lines which can be taken from different database tables.
LDB offers an easy-to-use selection screens. You can modify the pre-generated selection screen to your needs. It offers check functions to check whether user input is complete, correct, and plausible. It offers reasonable data selections. It contains central authorization checks for data base accesses. Enhancements such as improved performance immediately apply to all report programs that use the logical database.
Less coding s required to retrieve data compared to normal internel tables.
Tables used LDB are in hierarchial structure.
Mainly we used LDBs in HR Abap Programming.
Where all tables are highly inter related so LDBs can optimize the performance there.

Invoking HR Master Data (P_ORGIN) authorization check for transaction PCP0

Hello,
We have to limit access to executives (managers) sensitive posting data in transaction PCP0 (display posting runs).
Since executives belong to a personnel area other than all other employees, I thought we can achieve this by personnel area distinction.
In order to have this done, P_ORGIN authorization check should be performed.
It looks that by standard, such check is not performed.
Does anyone have any experience of dealing with this issue?
Thanks,
Isaac

Hi,
I have a vague idea.
I remember while creating an ESS user, we did something in P_ORGIN so as to to restrict access to personnel master data.
Check the composite role : SAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP.
A Z role was created for SAP_EMPLOYEE_ERP=>the corresponding roles in it had to be copied to a z role.
Check the z-role created ; zSAP_ESSUSER_ERP.
In Authorizations tab=>Display authorization data option => ;
Expand Human Resources;
In HR : Master data, you can find the various authorization assignments to P_ORIGIN; where
Authorization level (AUTHC)
Infotype (INFTY)
Personnel Area (PERSA)
Employee Group (PERSG)
Employee Subgroup (PERSK)
Subtype (SUBTY)
Organizational Key (VDSK1)
Authorization level (AUTHC) takes the values :
R (Read) for read access
M (Matchcode) for read access to input helps (F4)
W (Write) for write access
E and D (Enqueue and Dequeue) for write access using the Asymmetrical Double Verification Principle. E allows the user to create and change locked data records and D allows the user to change lock indicators.
S (Symmetric) for write access using the Symmetric Double Verification Principle
* always includes all other authorization levels simultaneously
In your case if some has to make changes through PPCO.. it's equivalent to making changes to infotype 0001 (Organizational Assignment)
So, probably, you need the Authorization level to R for Infotype 0001.
I have no personal hands-on experience on this...since we are not allowed to anything Basis
I have seen this being done and have noted what was done... !! May or may not be correct....!!
I hope this is what you want.
Cheers and Good Luck!!
Remi
