SAP HR cluster tables

hi,
I was wondering if SAP HR posting documents were stored in cluster tables like the pay results and infotype change logs are, if so do you know the name of the cluster table.
If they are not stored in clusters, is there anyway of accesing these documents from a programming perspective.
thanks.

Hi Jamie,
here is some info..
PCL1 - Database for HR work area;
PCL2 - Accounting Results (time, travel expense and payroll);
PCL3 - Applicant tracking data;
PCL4 - Documents, Payroll year-end Tax data
You can also use the delivered report RPUAUD00 for any infotype audit. But the infotype must be logged for changes in the T585 tables.. The documentation for this report is very comprehensive..
Good Luck,
Suresh Datti

Explore SAP CL cluster table folder using Crystal Integration Kit

Dear All,
I am a SAP FICO consultant and have just installed the SAP integration kit and CRYSTAL 2008 with a Business Object consultant. We planned to access the SAP cluster tables and replace some ABAP reports with CRYSTAL and Business Objects Reports.
We have encountered the below two key problems, which I am hoping you can help with:
- I am only able to view the three folders stated (CL, DD & FN) after giving the CRYSTAL User ID full SAP_ALL access and not with the limited access in the installation guide, profile CRYSTAL_ENTITLEMENT.
- I can not see any cluster tables within the CL (Cluster) folder as expected and only see data in the FN (Function) & DD (Data dictionary), even after giving the CRYSTAL ID the SAP_ALL access.
Please can you assist from your experience of implementing the Integration kit with SAP ERP?
Products used: SAP ECC6, CRYSTAL 2008 SP2 and current Integration Kit.
Kind Regards,
Mo.

Thanks for you replies and I also had a look at Ingo's blog "BusinessObjects and SAP Part 4". The blog indicates that the CL folder is not for the standard cluster tables but specifically for ABAP clusters. Hence why I can not see any tables within this folder as they have to be mapped and setup in SAP if required.
My installation must therefore be correct and I should just use the DD folder for accessing SAP cluster tables? Many thanks for your help and if you can confirm my above assumption then I will mark question as answered.
Cheers,
Mo.

Export content from cluster table RSZWOBJ

Hello,
i need the html-cotent of the SAP BW cluster table 'RSZWOBJ'. I've tried this about the ABAP statement
IMPORT FROM DATABASE rszwobj(bm) ID key
but the results wasn' t very succesfully.
The goel is to get the html-coding of the relevant BW-bookmark, to search this bookmark for an specific string, this string should be replaced for an another one. After this action the changed html string have to export to the cluster table 'RSZWOBJ'.
If this procedure possible with the IMPORT-Statment or there are any another possibilities to change the content in the cluster table 'RSZWOBJ'?

About cluster table in sql server or SAP

Hello Gurus,
we have a cluster table "KONV" in our sql server 2008 , is that feature for cluster table native feature in sql server or in sap?
because some professonal said there is no concept for cluster table in sql server just like oracle database. so please help me for
clarification.
Many thanks,

I agree, this is ABAP Dictionary specific way of data encapulation, not the DB type dependant one. Basically it stores the data in RAW or LRAW format.
Also be aware that we distinguish b/w [data clusters|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/fc/eb3bf8358411d1829f0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm] and [cluster tables|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/cf/21f083446011d189700000e8322d00/content.htm].

Why we use Cluster Tables in SAP Hr

hai friends, i am new to ABAP-HR and SAP HR, Actually i am core abaper ( working on SD, MM and Fi Modules ) , can any one explain me why and what is the use of Cluster tables in SAP HR, why we use in SAP HR function Module ?
Thnx in advance
Vijaya

Hi Vijaya,
This may help for ur question..
Why cluster table:
Cluster tables combine the data from several tables with identical (or almost identical) keys into one physical record on the database.
Data is written to a database in compressed form.
Retrieval of data is very fast if the primary key is known.
Cluster tables are defined in the data dictionary as transparent tables.
External programs can NOT interpret the data in a cluster table.
Special language elements EXPORT TO DATABASE, IMPORT TO DATABASE and DELETE FROM DATABASE are used to process data in the cluster tables.
PCL1 - Database for HR work area; (long text, etc)
PCL2 - Accounting Results (time, travel expense and payroll); (payroll results)
PCL3 - Applicant tracking data;
PCL4 - Documents, Payroll year-end Tax data (change logs, etc)

Cluster tables in SAP

Hi all,
what are the cluster tables in SAP.
and shall we use inner join statment on cluster tables.
regards,
Suresh

HI,
<b>CLUSTER Tables :-</b>Table clusters (clusters) are special table types in the ABAP Dictionary
The data from several tables is stored together in a table pool or table cluster. Tables assigned to a table pool or table cluster are referred to as pooled tables or cluster tables.
Table pool or table cluster should be used exclusively for storing internal control information (screen sequences, program parameters, temporary data, continuous texts such as documentation). Data of commercial relevance is usually stored in transparent tables.

SAP Connector accessing Cluster Tables

We are using OWB 10gR2 to extract data from SAP. We have no problems extracting 'normal' tables from SAP, but the problem we face is that when we try to extract what is known as Cluster Tables in SAP, the OWB generated ABAP code causes problems to the SAP application when run.
Has anyone come across this? Can you extract Cluster Tables from SAP using the SAP Connector?
For info. we are using SAP Connector R/3 version 4.7.
Thanks in advance !

May you give me a help!
You have done what i m trying to do from 10 days...
working the sap connector..
What is the module function in sap you invoke from the Connector?
The version of librfc32.dll you used is the recommended version and build?
Thanks & Greetings

View on cluster table

hi all,
I am trying to create a view for the tables bkpg and bseg.but am unable to as the error is "bseg is cluster table".
can't we create view for cluster table. if can, how

You cannot create a view because BSEG is in a cluster table
For this reason SAP has provided some "secondary index" tables, look for :
     BSAD     Accounting: Secondary Index for Customers (Cleared Items)
     BSAK     Accounting: Secondary Index for Vendors (Cleared Items)
     BSAS     Accounting: Secondary Index for G/L Accounts (Cleared Items)
     BSID     Accounting: Secondary Index for Customers
     BSIK     Accounting: Secondary Index for Vendors
     BSIM     Secondary Index, Documents for Material
     BSIS     Accounting: Secondary Index for G/L Accounts

Maintaince view creation for a cluster table

Hi friends,
I have created a maintaince view for a cluster table bseg and i have activated it its working fine..
now my problem is i can create maintaince view for mutiple tables if other tables are linked with primary table using foriegn key relationship..
Now can any one tell me is it possible to create maintance view for cluster table with multiple tables as i need a linked table with bseg which iam not able to get... ie : when i click on the relationship tab iam not getting the linked tables for bseg...
now can i create a maintaince view with 2 linked cluster tables..
if so can any one tell me how to create it.
As sap says we can create projection view for cluster and pooled table and we cannot create database view for cluster and pooled tables , but it does not mentioned like that for maintaince view....
I assume we can do it.... as iam trying to create a maintaince view with single cluster table then it shoudl allow me to create for multiple linked cluster tables.... and is it mandatory to maintain TMG for this maintaince view....?
Regards
KUMAR

yes.. ur right inserting values into a cluster table other than standard sap tarnactions is dangerious....
But sap didnot mentioned any where that we cannot maintain data for cluster tables using maintaince view... which it said for database view..that pooled and cluster table cannot be used for database view..

Crystal Report against SAP R/3 Table-View (SE11) instead of SQ02-Infosets?

Hi all,
does anybody know if crystal can connect to an SAP R/3 Table-View which is created with the SE11 Transaction ?
I want to use this instead of the SQ02 InfoSets because the "join"-functionality in the SQ02-Infosets is only rudimentary and i need more detailed join-functionality.
I use Crystal 12 with SP3 and i also have the SAP-Integration-Kit installed.
Thanks a lot.
Sebastian

Hi,
For creating CR report with R3 tables, please select the "SAP Table,Cluster or Function" in the CREATE NEW CONNECTIONS list.
With this you should be able to select R3 table and create a report.
Thanks,

How do I get to know the structures stored in a cluster table

Dear fellow developers,
this question is about Cluster Tables of the INDX-type which need to be read with
IMPORT/EXPORT FROM/TO ...
I need some advice concerning the question of how to find
out the definition of a structured field in such a cluster.
To be more precise:
By using the command
IMPORT DIRECTORY ...
I know that in the table/cluster
VARI
section
VB
there are two structured
fields the content of which I'm interested in for reading and writing purposes:
%_VARI40C
and
%_VARIVDAT
I already know the structure of the first one, but only because I found a Standard FM that reads it with an appropriately defined WA-structure, but I cannot find something similar to find out the structure definition for the other one (%_VARIVDAT). It can't be possible that this is so difficult to find out. There must be some better and easier way to find this out that I don't know yet...
Thanks in advance for your appreciated help
Andreas

Hi Andreas,
I think you have nothing into SAP to find the structure of a cluster table.
The way I use, is to find a standard program that use this cluster, and I look in the ABAP code the structure used by SAP.
You just have to use the ST05, and use the option to see the code where the cluster has been readed.

How to check the content of cluster table smw3_bdoc1(00)

Hi!
I want to check the business partner changes sending via bdoc from crm to sap.
For this i want to look into the bdocs.
I think it's the cluster-table smw3_bdoc1.
'Cause i don't know which is the name of the structure in the clustd-field i use:
data: dirtab type table of cdir,
      wa_dirtab like line of dirtab.
import directory into dirtab from database
                                  smw3_bdoc1(00)
                                  id '49600667F6980046E1008002AC18C6E5'.
if sy-subrc = 0.
write / 'Directory:'.
loop at dirtab into wa_dirtab.
    write: / wa_dirtab-name, wa_dirtab-otype, wa_dirtab-ftype,
             wa_dirtab-tfill, wa_dirtab-fleng.
endloop.
else.
write 'Not found'.
endif.
So i've found the directory object "BDOC_BODY".
Now i want to read the content with:
data:   iclust type string.
loop at itbdocid.
     IMPORT BDOC_BODY = iclust FROM DATABASE smw3_bdoc1(00)
                                    ID itbdocid-bdoc_id.
endloop.
An error message raises with...
"error importing the object BDOC_BODY"
The dump tells me that object types of BDOC_BODY and iclust doesn't match.
I've changed the field iclust to type xstring... but it's the same error.
If somebody here can help... Thanks a lot!
Cheers, Ingo

Hi,
Thanks, I can see the data now.I am expecting that data should display in the 2LIS_VDKON extractor.There are two records for particular condition type.Item 10 and Item 20, but in RSA3, it is showing only one record for Item 20 and not showing for Item 10.
I have cleaned and filled the setup tables, but still no luck.
Can you please guide me, where else to look?
Thanks

Cluster Tables and Open SQL

Hi,
I am planning to replace several transparent tables with cluster tables.
And this also implies that I have to read from cluster tables.
One of the reason, I did not do this is until now is, that at the moment I am heavily
relying on the possibility to specify the DB name dynamically during runtime.
If I start implementing this scenario in one case, it should be possible to implement this
for all cases.
My question is now, is it possible to use cluster table similar to transparent table?
The following sketches the idea
The typical cluster table looks like
RELID     INDX_RELID
SELKEY
SRTF2     INDX_SRTF2
CLUSTR
CLUSTD
What one could do is, select from the cluster table using the primariy key fields
RELID     INDX_RELID
SELKEY
into an internal table, treating the DB table as an transparent table and after that,
do an import from the internal table to the real internal table.
To generate the value for SELKEY - Fill the structure and move the content of the
structure to a CHAR50.
The question is: Would this work?
I looked across the documentation, but I have found only little.
Trying it out is not useful either, since this technique needs to work independ of OS, DB
and NW Release.
And if it works, I cant be sure, that with a different system setup it still works.
Thanks fro your help.
With kind regards
Uwe Gebhardt
Edited by: Uwe Gebhardt on Apr 28, 2011 9:38 AM

Hello Uwe,
I would not advise you to switch from transparent to cluster tables. Cluster tables give you much less flexibility in terms of different access strategies, usage of indexes, etc.
And I think you can forget about reprogramming SAP DBI functionality of parsing cluster table contents in your program and moving it into a real internal table. There is simply too much you should take care of. And what if SAP decides to make a slight change in the next release. Then the upgrade will ruine your program.
So my advise - stick to the transparent tables.
Regards,
Yuri
