Table V/S View in Custom Extractions

Hi
What would be the best practice in regards to choosing a Table/View for specifying "extraction from DB view" in Data Source.
I know we could either specify Table or View I just want to know which would the best practice and what are the advantages.
Thanks
Raj

Hi
View is always a better option..using a view you can avoid the naming convention problems associated with fields or Table names.
Thanks

TABLES TO BE VIEWED IN LO EXTRACTION

Hi experts,
           In direct delta method i am uploading the data from documents tables to delta queue directly.in this process what are the tables we can see when data flows from document tables to delta queue.when the setup tables came into existance ?

hi,
   in direct delta how the data flows from tables to extract structure ?in this direct delta we won't use setup tables? on what cases we go for direct delta?
   could you say elaborately how the data flows from document tables to delta queue.
say example :vbuk table to delta queue
thanks in advance.

Data Federator: Unioning Multiple Tables into single view possible?

Hi,
I have three different databases with tables containing a portion of the same kind of data and I want to union the three different tables together in Data Federator to present a single logical view that has the complete set of data. Is this possible in Data Federator? How would I go about doing that?
Note: I do not have keys to join the tables together on since it's not simply extending the data in one table with additional data in another table and doing an inner join on a unique key. Instead, for example, there's a customer table for Finance, a customer table for Operations and a customer table for Sales and they all contain the same columns (with maybe slightly different names) and same type of data. I want to effectively union Finance, Operations and Sales together in a federated/virtualized view so applications can just query from that view to get all the customers from the three different databases.
I have been unable to do this so far since Data Federator requires each table in a mapping to have a relationship with the other tables in the mapping.
Thanks for the help.
Kerby

I figured out the original question using one mapping for each table but have a new question now.
Is it possible for an application to use the combined view from Data Federator to write back into the databases?
e.g. have an application use the target table in Data Federator and view the results, and based on that update the data in the underlying database that provides the data for the target table?
Thanks for the help.

BSID Table Entries still reflecting the Customer's Cleared Documents

Hi Experts,
We had a scenario where they have a 2 FI Document for 1 Customer still reflecting in the table BSID. This 2 Documents are the following in the FBL5N:
DocumentNo Bill.Doc. Type Doc. Date SG DD Amt in loc.cur. LCur    Amount in DC Curr. Text      Clrng doc. SpG/L
BAL B/F    9999212371            Z2   25.12.2007             305,522.66 SGD      305,522.66 SGD         100029805
                 100029805             AB   25.12.2009             305,522.66 SGD      305,522.66 SGD          100029805
                 100029805             AB   25.12.2009             305,522.66- SGD      305,522.66- SGD         100029805
                 1600000101            DG   25.12.2009             305,522.66- SGD      305,522.66- SGD        100029805
Note: Doc Types: ZG - AR Migration; AB -Accounting Document; and DG - Customer Credit Memo
They already have the Clearing Document 1000029805 and cleared in FBL5N but they are still being reflected in table BSID. How is this possible? Is there a step for me to clear this and not reflect in table BSID?

Dear:
            Please check the date at which you are viewing it. This document may have been cleared in subsequent dates. Please check the document at some latter date. Generally when an invoice valuing 10000 USD is cleared at 17.06.2011 partially system behaves like
Bank get debited 8000
Customer gets credited 8000
and a partial document is generated for the balance amount 2000. This AB is shown open in BSID with reference to the invoice . This AB is now open at key date 17.06.2011. Now let us suppose this AB was cleared fully against a payment from customer DZ at 25.06.2011. It will now move to BSAD . 25.06.2011 is its clearing date. However if you view the customer balance at 20.06.2011 or any other date before 25.06.2011 in FBL5N or BSID it will be shown as open although it will show a clearing document attached to it but since you are viewing it in table or ledger at a date prior to its clearing date, it will be shown as open. Hope it will clear your ambiguity.

Table with tree view on master column

Hi,
I'm trying to generate a table with tree view on the master column and I get the table values from an RFC.
The problem is that I need to control some properties like "expanded" or "isLeaf" and I can't add the value attributes to the model node to control the rows.
Any ideia on how to overcome this (what i think is a) problem?
Thanks for the help.
Pedro Barbosa

Hi Subramanian,
Maybe I didn't explain myself right. I also followed that tutorial with success but in this case i have on my custom controller:
-MyNode (model node)
- Output
- MyTable
- attribute 1 (model attribute)
In my context/view controller the only way i can map that node is by using a model node referecing "MyTable" but this way i can't add any of my attributes to same level of the attributes (is that the ideia right?).
I also tried to recreate the structure in the view with value nodes and value attributes with the same type as the model attributes and then bind them but i always get "Incompatible context element type".
Am i missing something?

Is table maintenance generator only for custom table?

hi ,
i have doubt is table maintenance generator only for custom table?

hi swamya,
Table Maintanance Generator is used to create/change/delete table entries in a particular table.
In the production system, end-users will not be having access to transaction codes like SE11 and SE16. Developers will not be having access to many transaction codes including the above two.To view the contents of the database table, we will use SE16n in Production system. All these authorizations will be maintained by BASIS team, by creating access profiles.So in order to edit or create the contents of a database table, we should go for table maintenance generator. In real time, authorizations will be maintained in production system.
The second reason is, we can edit or create multiple entries at a time, using tablemaintenance generator.
Apart from that we have options like 'Enter conditions' in table maintenance screen SM30.
hope this helps in clearing ur doubt.
Regards
Saurabh

Problem regarding updation of Z-table through maintenance view

hi ,
I m facing problem in updation of Z-table through maintenance view (SM30).
The scenario is that I have one customizing field in my Z-table which is checkbox.
Now I need to populate 2 fields in Z-table on tick of this checkbox and clicking of SAVE button.
For this I have created one module ''change_field'' in PAI.
Actually my database table is being updated but as soon as the control left my module all the updation that take place vanishes away.....
So please help me in this matter.

Thanks for ur previous effort it is updating the database but its effect is not shown immediately on screen.After i referesh the transaction it is dispalying the data.
So can u please suggest me any way....
Now i have one scenario infront of me....
I need to restrict the data shown in maintenance view.
I think it would be same as pop-up window displayed when we tick on 2nd radiobutton ("ENTER CONDITIONS")
of intial screen of t-code SM30.
Please suggest what shud i do....
Thanks and reagrds,
Amit

Give me details about differrent views in generic extraction give details

give me details about differrent views in generic extraction give details such as database view, projection view, help view, etc please give detail

Dear Deba,
Projection view - Just retrieves some fields from a single table.
Help View - This is used for search help.
Database View - This is inner join view of one or more tables
Maintenance View - Helps in creating maintaining data of the application object. The data can be distributed among several tables
Data Base View:
A database view is defined in the ABAP Dictionary and automatically created on the database during
activation. Accesses to a database view are passed directly to the database from the database interface.
The database software performs the data selection.
If the definition of a database view is changed in the ABAP Dictionary, the view created on the database
must be adjusted to this change. Since a view does not contain any data, this adjustment is made by
deleting the old view definition and creating the view again in the ABAP Dictionary with its new definition.
The maintenance status defines whether you can only read with the view or whether you can also write
with it. If a database view was defined with more than one table, this view must be read only.
The data read with a database view can be buffered. View data is buffered analogously to tables. The
technical settings of a database view control whether the view data may be buffered and how this should
be done. The same settings (buffering types) can be used here as for table buffering. The buffered view
data is invalidated when the data in one of the base tables of the view changes.
Maintainance View:
Data that is distributed on more than one table often forms a logical unit, called an application object.
You should be able to display, change and create the data of such an application object together. Users
usually are not interested in the technical implementation of the application object, such as the distribution of the data on several tables.
You can maintain complex application objects in a simple way using a maintenance view. The data is
automatically distributed on the underlying database tables.
All the tables used in a maintenance view must be linked with a foreign key. This means that the join
conditions are always derived from the foreign key in the maintenance view. You cannot enter the join
conditions directly as in a database view.
A maintenance interface with which the data of the view can be displayed, changed and created must be
generated from the definition of a maintenance view in the ABAP Dictionary.
When the maintenance interface is created, function modules that distribute the data maintained with the
view on the underlying tables are automatically generated.
The maintenance interface is generated with the Transaction Generate Table View (Transaction SE54)
or from the view maintenance screen with Environment -> Tab.maint.generator.
Database views implement an inner join. You only get those records which have an entry in all the tables
included in the view.
Maintenance views implement an outer join.
Help View:
A help view is defined analogously to a maintenance view. Help views can only be used as selection
methods in search helps. Since the R/3 System cannot pass the selection directly to the database using
a help view, it must generate its own access routines. The database view should therefore be used as
selection method in preference to the help view.

What is the disadvantage with views in generic extraction?

hi
what is the disadvantage with views in generic extraction?
thanks in advance,
srinivas.

Hi ,
<i>What is disadvantage of generic extraction ? </i>
If i am asking this what you will say ......You have only less points to say if any one ask you like this .
Similarly Generic extraction based on view has many advantegs It was given to extrct data when standard business content data source is not available .
But we know Views can be created when the table you need to extract data has Primary Foreign key relation .So if you need to extarct data from many tables with no relation between them then you cannot use view .
But if you need to extract data from tables that have complex relation ,Then you need to go for Function Module extration and write some ABAP code and using SQL ststements you fetch data from tables based on thier key fields and finally get the desired data by your coding logic .

How to update multiple records in a table created in view (web dynpro)

Here is my coding......
*coding to get the district value
DATA lo_nd_district TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
    DATA lo_el_district TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
    DATA ls_district TYPE wd_this->element_district.
    DATA lv_district_txt LIKE ls_district-district_txt.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <DISTRICT> via lead selection
    lo_nd_district = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_district ).
get element via lead selection
    lo_el_district = lo_nd_district->get_element( ).
get single attribute
    lo_el_district->get_attribute(
      EXPORTING
        name = `DISTRICT_TXT`
      IMPORTING
        value = lv_district_txt ).
*coding to diplay records when clicking a button(Submit)
DATA lo_nd_table TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_node.
DATA lo_el_table TYPE REF TO if_wd_context_element.
DATA ls_table TYPE wd_this->element_table.
DATA lv_district LIKE ls_table-district.
navigate from <CONTEXT> to <TABLE> via lead selection
lo_nd_table = wd_context->get_child_node( name = wd_this->wdctx_table ).
get element via lead selection
lo_el_table = lo_nd_table->get_element( ).
get single attribute
lo_el_table->set_attribute(
    EXPORTING
      name = `DISTRICT`
   " IMPORTING
      value = lv_district_txt ).
The above coding updates only one record to that
table created in view.
If i enter 2nd district value means then the first record
in the table is overwritten.
So my need is the record should not be overwritten.
it(2nd record ) should be displayed after the 1st record.
Any one can help me and send the coding plz....

instead of using set attribute you should use bind table method to display/update the records in table view.
step1 ) collect all the data in a local table
step2 ) and the bind that lacal table with your node
search1 = wd_context->get_child_node( name = `TABLE1` ).
search1->bind_table( lt_detail)
here lt_detail is your local table and TABLE1 is node which is bound with table ui element.

Table and Materialized View in different namespaces?

I've just faced something completly new for me. It appears that there are two objects with the same name and owner. Table and Materialized View have the same names and when I look into system dictionary I can se sth. like that:
OWNER OBJECT_NAME OBJECT_ID DATA_OBJECT_ID OBJECT_TYPE NAMESPACE
USER_A USER_TABLE 159381 159381 TABLE 1
USER_A USER_TABLE 159382 MATERIALIZED VIEW 19
(I couldn't find how to write above with const length font).
Two object in different namespace? I thought that Tables and Materialized Vievs have the same namespace.
Can you please tell me how can I create objects to achieve above result? I would also be grateful if you tell me where to find that topic in documentation.

Perfectly normal.
SQL> select object_name, object_type from user_objects where object_name = 'TEST_MV';
no rows selected

SQL> create materialized view test_mv
