MARA table going DUMP due to append structure

Hi all,
I have created the structure and i have Appended to MARA table. Since then MARA Table is Partially Active State. So, i tried to delete the structure. But i am unable to delete that Structure, because it was used in MARA Table. Even i tried SE14 Transaction also.Here i did Adjust and Activate table, But it is showing SHORT DUMP. Even if check the Error in SE11, it is showing "No inconvience found, but i activate the table again it is going to dump ".
How to solve this .
My requirement is to bring back the MARA table into its origional state. and how to delete the Appended structure in MARA table ?
Thanks in advance

Hi,
An APPEND structure is a DDIC structure that is assigned to a single DB table. In the ABAP dictionary (SE11) you call the corresponding DB table and create the APPEND structure for this table.
In which scenario do we create APPEND structures? Obviously, the attributes available in the DB table are not sufficient to meet your requirements. Thus, you append the missing fields to the table.

Append Structure in FPLT table

Hi,
I'm posting this query after going through various posts on the subject.
We are in 4.7 version and would like to add custom fields to table FPLT, to store additional information.
Since there are no customer includes in FPLT table, we intend to add append structure with our new fields.
Want to know if anyone has done similar enhancement? and if there is any negative impact on billing etc?
In some posts the exits RV60FUS1 & RV60FUST has been suggested to use. However,not sure how these can be used to store data in custom fields without modifying FPLT table. Appreciate any suggestion/solution. Thanks

Hi Sanjay,
That is indeed the reason why I wanted you to use a Z table.
You can of course draft the entire set of business processes and how the table needs to be updated in all those scenarios. The scenarios can include
Inclusion of a billing record in the billing plan
Deletion of a billing record
Change of billing percentage, value , date category, billing type, billing block etc on a billing plan
Creation of billing document for a billing plan item etc....
You need to think of all these scenarios and update the Z table. Innovatively, you can also delete the records from this Z table (if that is possible in ur process flow) when the last billing plan item is processed for billing creation. We have such scenarios and we enable the deletion of some Z tables in some our processes

Order of append structure

Hi,
I have in VBAK an append structure starting with ZY...
I want to add a new append structure starting with ZA... at the end of the table but when I add the structure it goes before the one starting with ZY..
How can i put it at the end of the table? Can anyone help?
Thanks,
Catalin

Hi
Append structures allow you to attach fields to a table without actually having to modify the table itself. You can use the fields in append structures in ABAP programs just as you would any other field in the table.
Click on the append structure tab and opt to create new
structure.
Append structures allow you to enhance tables by adding fields to them that are not part of the standard. With append structures; customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
Append structures are created for use with a specific table. However, a table can have multiple append structures assigned to it
Customers can add their own fields to any table or structure they want.
The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP

What is diff b/w Include Structure and Append Structure at Database Level

Hi Experts,
Could you please let me know what is the main difference between .Include Structure and .Append Structure at SE11?
Thanks in advance and for good answer will give good points.
Sekhar

Hi,
1. Append Structures
Append structures can only be assigned to a single table.
Append structures are created in the custome rnamespace ( ZZ or YY)
In case of new versions of the standard table during upgrade, the append structures are automatically appended to the new version of the standard table
Append structures can not be used with cluster and pool tables
Append structures are created in transaction SE11. Display the standard table fields and press the Append structure button.
When you press the button, SAP sugests a name for the new append structure. After you has accepted the name,
a screen will be shown where you can enter the new fields.
Remember to activate.
2. Customizing Includes
Some of the SAP standard tables contains special include statements called Customizing includes. In contrast to Append structures,
Note that customizing includes are created by SAP, but the customer supply the fields for the include.
Customizing includes begin with CI_ and is part of the customer namespace
One Customizing include can be inserted into more than one table.
You can find Customizing includes in SE11 under structures.
Try to take a look at table RKPF which uses the Customizing include CI_COBL (In an IDES system). Next try to add a field to CI_COBL, and activate it. If you go back to table RKPF you will se that your new field has been added.

ABAP dictionary reguarding appending structure

Hi,
Myself Rohit.
please tell me how to append a structure in a table .

hi,
Procedure
Go to change mode in the maintenance screen of the table where you want to add the append structure.
If the table contains a long field (data type VARC, LCHR or LRAW), you cannot add an append structure.
Choose Goto -> Append structures.
Either a dialog box appears in which you can enter the name of the append structure or a list of all the append structures. that were already created for the table appears. If append structures already exist, you have to choose to get the dialog box for entering the name.
Enter the append structure name and choose . The name must lie in the customer namespace.
You go to the field maintenance screen of the append structure.
Define the fields of the append structure. You can proceed as when creating a normal structure with two restrictions (see Creating Structures).
The fields of an append structure must lie in the customer namespace, that is the field names must begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP.
An append structure must be flat, that is each field of the append structure must either refer to a data element or be directly assigned a data type, length, decimal places and short text.
If you want to create foreign keys or search help attachments for table fields that already exist, you can display these fields with Show appending objects. Proceed as if you wanted to create the foreign key or search help attachment in the underlying table (see Creating Tables).
If a foreign key or search help attachment is already defined for a field in the table, you cannot change this definition with the append structure.
Choose .
Result
The table will also be activated when the append structure is activated. The fields of the append structure are appended to the table in the database. Foreign keys or search help attachments for the fields that are already in the table and that were defined with the append structure are also activated.
You can display information about the activation process with Utilities -> Activation log. Errors occurring when the append structure is activated are displayed directly in the activation log.
Hope this helps, Do reward.

Transport table entries directly from table with field added from append S

Hi
Guys, I have changes one standard table , I mean I use append structure and add a new field in to that . As this is T* ( text table ) , it also V ( view ) but as I change the field in T* table . I went in to table and maintain entries directly into table . After that I go to menu and select all the entries and as I want to push it to my test client . I create the entries and then I transport it to test . When I saw the table that entries were missing. Then I saw my existing transport in SE10 & SE09 and I notice it just transport the Keys fields content and its not transporting the new field content which I add as append structure .
Do you guys have any idea .how to transport those entries?
Cheers
Usman

Itll behave in the same way , even you give "*" in your transport . Do one thing go to table, double click on your structure and once youre in structure <b>Go to->Extras->Enhancement category
And select radio button 1 or 2 and try again </b>
Hope thisll give you idea!!
<b>Pl... award the points.</b>
Good luck
Thanks

MARA Extended Append Structure. Note 44410

Hi Friends.
As Naren suggested, i've implemented the note 44410 to add new fields to the material master. Everything goes good until i've found that my structure or dynpro does'nt work, cause there'e no data in the mara table for the new append structure created. the dynpro shows the fields correctly, but no commit. pls hlp me.
Tnxs for your hlp.

Hi Steve,
You cannot add data to MARA table via Maintainance Screen. The reason for this is in the Delivery and the Maintainance tab of MARA table, the input value for the field Data Browser/Table View Maint is set to Display/maint allowed with restrictions.
Because of this the changes are not commited to the database.

Error while appending structure into BSEG Table

We had appended BSEG table with a ZSTRUCTURE to enable Custom field in MIRO. Subsequently there was a change required in the appended field. After Changing the field there was adjustment required to activate the appended table . However due to slow system performance during that time the Adjustment SE14 timed out. And created inconsistency in BSEG table.
If I Do the Table adjustment now it is showing below error.
We tried to delete the append structure also but the structure is not appearing in the append structure list to delete.
Even if we try deleting the Z structure from se11 it is throwing below error.
Any one could help me out to resolve this..

hi Ramesh,
Please First Check if the Database version and disctionary version are in sync.
Also, it could be the case that you would have enhanced an already existing Append stucture. which might be being used in other BKPF dependent tables.
Please check

How to activate the transparent table along with append structure

Hi,
I add the new fields in existing append structure on tale VBAP.
Initially i provide them the data type as Char with length 20.
Similarly i added the fields in user exit on scree 8459 to add fields on screen.
Until this eveything was working fine.
Then my functional consultant ask me to delete one field from structure and change the length of other data types to 40 characters.
I done this changes but when i go to activate that append structure its giving me error that certan structures in which it is been used are not adjusted and activated.
The table is not adjusted through SE14 - Database Utlity.
Its showing me that Runtime Object and Transparent table are different and not consistent.
Can i delete the runtime object?
The domains which i ave changed are also not geing activated.
Suggest me the node of problem and solution also.
What should be the problem.
What should i do to solve the problem.
Suggest me the solution if any.

Give a trail that instead of activating all together, activate low-level objects (domains, data elements etc)first and then high levels (structures, tables) individually. With this approach you could find the errors easily and can resolve quickly.

Prasanth

How to append structure into transperant table in sap abap

Hi all,
I have 1 structure already in the data dictionary .
And this structure is already being used by other transperant table for creatin the fields .
Now i need to create new table and wann use the same structure .
when i click on the Append Structure it shows that this structure us already been assign to other table .
So, can i not used the same structure for more than 1 transperant table |???
Praff

Hi Prafful,
You cannot append the same structure, if already used.
I think you can include the structure instead of appending it.
Goto the change mode (CTRL+F1).
Edit -> Include -> Insert.
Hope this helps...

Assignment between include/Append structures and Database Tables

Hi All,
I need to find the list of all Append/Include Structures in my system and Their assignment to Tables.
(For Each Append/Include structure, to which table it was assigned)
Is there any way to find it?
Thanks,
Krishna.

Hi,
Go to se11 - data type - give Z* and press F4.
Pop-up will come - click on search for structures - u will get standard structures.
Then take any structure name and check for where used list ( cont + shift + F3) .
U will get all the DB tables where and all they have used that include / append structure.

Append Structure for Table

Hi All,
I have added an append structure to a table in SE11. While adding the append structure i opened the table in display mode and added the append structure. I have also activated the append structure.
But in my transport request i can only see the append structure and not the original table. Is it safe to transport such a request ?

Hello,
When you're APPEND'ing a table you're not modifying the original table.
You are linking the APPEND structure to the original table & the linkage is maintained in the APPEND structure(see the "Attributes" tab of the APPEND structure).
Yes, the original table gets activated & adjusted when you activate the APPEND structure but it won't ask you for a TR. Whenever the TR is imported to the subsequent system the original table will automatically get activated & adjusted.
Hope i'm clear. You can read the F1 documentation on APPEND structures for further info.

Appending structures to the tables

Hi experts,
Why we are appending sturctures to the tables?
can any one tell me the main differences between the APPEND and INCLUDE structures
in Datadictionary.
Thanks in Advance.

Hi Ankita,
Customizing Includes
A Customizing include is a structure that satisfies a special naming convention. The name of a Customizing include begins with u2018CI_u2019 and the include is in the customer namespace.
If enhancements are already planned in the R/3 standard using customer-specific fields, such Customizing includes are included. in the corresponding standard table or standard structure. The Customizing include (that is the definition of the structure itself) is usually first created in the customer system and filled with fields by special Customizing transactions.
Customers can thus enhance tables and structures of the R/3 standard system without themselves having to modify the table and structure definitions. This means that these enhancements will not be lost when upgrading. If a table or structure of the R/3 standard system is enhanced with customer fields using a Customizing include, these customer fields are automatically inserted in the new delivered table or structure definition during an upgrade.
If you create a Customizing include for a table or structure, only those enhancements are allowed that are consistent with the enhancement category of the enhanced table or structure. For more information, see Structure Enhancements.
Customers can but need not create a Customizing include and fill it with fields. If there is no Customizing include, there is no error message when the table or structure including it is activated.
A Customizing include can be contained in several tables or structures, so that they remain consistent when the include is modified.
Append Structures
Append structures are used for enhancements that are not included in the standard. This includes special developments, country versions and adding customer fields to any tables or structures.
An append structure is a structure that is assigned to exactly one table or structure. There can be more than one append structure for a table or structure.
The following enhancements can be made to a table or structure TAB with an append structure:
Insert new fields in TAB,
Define foreign keys for fields of TAB that already exist,
Attach search helps to fields of TAB that already exist,
These enhancements are part of the append structure, i.e. they must always be changed and transported with the append structure.
When a table or structure is activated, all the append structures of the table are searched and the fields of these append structures are added to the table or structure. Foreign keys and search help attachments added using the append structure are also added to the table. If an append structure is created or changed, the table or structure assigned to it is also adjusted to these changes when the append structure is activated.
Since the order of the fields in the ABAP Dictionary can differ from the order of the fields on the database, adding append structures or inserting fields in such append structures does not result in a table conversion.
The customer creates append structures in the customer namespace. The append structure is thus protected against overwriting during an upgrade. The fields in the append structure should also reside in the customer namespace, that is the field names should begin with ZZ or YY. This prevents name conflicts with fields inserted in the table by SAP.
