have u ever created ztables so far . if so pls tell some situtations (scneraios) where u have created z tables . it is one of the interview question asked ?
pls tel, in deatail . points will be rewred for good answers .

Hi,
Generally when we are developing some Z transactions with our own data
then we create our Own Z TABLES and use them.
For particular business process specific to client requirement we create table
& view.
For example:
The client would not post the invoices directly into MIRO , Instead would require a table in which the details can be stored . In a predefind time interval,The end user would upload the details from the table to the MIRO which will be done through a program deve.loped by us....

Hi
U can use the fm GUI_UPLOAD to read and store the file in internla table, after transfer the data from internal table to database table. This is an example:
PARAMETERS: P_FILE(120).
DATA: FILENAME TYPE STRING.
DATA: T_FILE LIKE TABLE OF <ZTABLE>.
START-OF-SELECTION.
FILENAME = P_FILE.
CALL FUNCTION 'GUI_UPLOAD'
       EXPORTING
            FILENAME = FILENAME
       TABLES
            DATA_TAB = T_FILE.
INSERT <ZTABLE> FROM T_FILE.
You can use this program only if the file have the same structure of Z-TABLE, otherwise you have to elaborate the data of T_FILE before inserting in the database.

File to SAP R/3 custom table using PI

Hi ,
Any once can help me with File to Custom table updation possibilities using PI.
Regards,
Kiran

Hi Kiran,
You can do like I mentioned in the above blog.
Also would suggest not to write to the database directly from PI. Ask an abaper or yourself write a code like an ZBAPI through which you can send data to the table. Then in that case you need to send data to ZBAPI like file - xi - rfc scenario.
One more possibility is you can create a proxy and then send data to proxy and then let the proxy upload the data in the ztable.
If you have any specific questions you can ask here.

Unable to delete last entry in Custom table

Hi,
I have one custom table which allows only some specific entries to be maintained in the table.I have used a standard table as a check table for dis.I found no issue while maintaining entries in the table.But when i try to delete the last entry in the table i get the message "No entry exist".Long textNo entries were found when importing data from the database.
Kindly help.

Hi,
If it is not possible through table maintainence then write a small Z program to delete the entries in devlopment system and then if then if you want you can transfer those to other systems.
delete from ZTABLE where {give your condition for the last record}.

How to populate date & time when user enter data for custom table in sm30

Can anyone tell me How to populate system date & time when user enter data for custom table in sm30..
Req is
i have custom table and using sm30 user can enter data.
after saving date i want to update date & time in table
Pls let me know where to write the code?
Thanks in Advance

You have to write the code in EVENT 01 in SE54 transaction. Go to SE54, enter your Ztable name and in the menu 'Environment-->Events'. Press 'ENTER' to go past the popup message. In the next screen, click on 'New Entries'. In the first column, enter 01 and in the next column give some name for your routine(say UPDATE_USER_DATE_TIME). Then click on the souce code icon that appears in blue at the end of the row. In the code, you need logic like below.
FORM update_user_date_time.
DATA: f_index LIKE sy-tabix.
DATA: BEGIN OF l_total.
          INCLUDE STRUCTURE zztable.
INCLUDE STRUCTURE vimtbflags.
DATA END OF l_total.
DATA: s_record TYPE zztable.
LOOP AT total INTO l_total.
    IF l_total-vim_action = aendern OR
       l_total-vim_action = neuer_eintrag.
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING l_total TO s_record.
      s_record-zz_user = sy-uname.
      s_record-zz_date = sy-datum.
      s_record-zz_time = sy-uzeit.
      READ TABLE extract WITH KEY l_total.
      IF sy-subrc EQ 0.
        f_index = sy-tabix.
      ELSE.
        CLEAR f_index.
      ENDIF.
      MOVE-CORRESPONDING s_record TO l_total.
      MODIFY total FROM l_total.
      CHECK f_index GT 0.
      MODIFY extract INDEX f_index FROM l_total.
    ENDIF.
ENDLOOP.
ENDFORM.                    " UPDATE_USER_DATE_TIME
Here ZZTABLE is the Z table and ZZ_USER, ZZ_DATE, and ZZ_TIME are the fields that are updated.

How to cpature hard deletes in custom table?

Hello Team,
We have custom table in SAP attached to the application tcode.
As per business requirement, user can delete few items in transacation( hard deletes).
We are planning to delete these records from custom table if user delete them in Tcode. However the we need track all of these deleted records.
Since the record physically deleted from this table, please let me know how to capture the deleted record.
I heard about CDPOS and CDHDR not sure this table has deleted records. and also DBTABLOG as well.
What is main diffrence between CDPOS/CDHDR with DBTABLOG interms tracking these deleted records. Our basis team recommending not use DBTABLOG table, since its huge table and its hard for them to archvie.
Like to listen expert advices.
Thanks
Angelo

Rob,
Do you want me write Z program to read hard deletes from DBTABLOG and update another Ztable that stores only delted records/
Pls advice,
Thanks

ALE/IDOC[custom table transfer]

Hi All,
I have a doubt regarding the type of programs used to post the idocs using ALE in the outbound process.
Please also tell me which program I will use to post a custom table of mine to another server using ALE/IDOC.
Please also tell me the procedure to do the same mentioned above.
Please help. Its a urgent requirement...........................
Thanks in advance......................................................

Hi Guru,
if you cannot use a standard idoc then you´ll need to create a custom one starting from the segment (WE31) where you can create an Idoc segment starting from your own Z table structure using the wizard.
Then you´ll need to also create the idoc type (WE30) and link the segment to the IDoc.
Then you´ll need to create a message type and link the message type to the Idoc type (WE81, WE82).
Then you´´ll use RFC "MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE" to populate the IDOC and send the data.
This is a sample code just to give you an idea:
DATA:
Z_SEGNAME(7) TYPE C VALUE 'SEGMENT',
Z_MESTYPE(9) TYPE C VALUE 'MESSAGE',
Z_IDOC_TYPE(8) TYPE C VALUE 'IDOC'.
DATA:
IDOC_CONTROL LIKE EDIDC,
T_COMM_CONTROL LIKE EDIDC OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE,
IDOC_DATA LIKE EDIDD OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.
*Reads data from Z table
SELECT *
FROM ZTABLE
INTO TABLE L_ZTABLE.
*Set the control data info required for the distribution
IDOC_CONTROL-MESTYP = Z_MESTYPE.
IDOC_CONTROL-DOCTYP = Z_IDOC_TYPE.
*Populate the IDoc
LOOP AT L_ZTABLE.
CLEAR IDOC_DATA.
IDOC_DATA-SEGNAM = Z_SEGNAME.
IDOC_DATA-SDATA = ZTABLE.
APPEND IDOC_DATA.
ENDLOOP.
*Deliver the IDOC as defined in distribution model/partner profile
CALL FUNCTION 'MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE' IN UPDATE TASK
EXPORTING
    MASTER_IDOC_CONTROL          = IDOC_CONTROL
TABLES
    COMMUNICATION_IDOC_CONTROL     = T_COMM_CONTROL
    MASTER_IDOC_DATA               = IDOC_DATA
EXCEPTIONS
    ERROR_IN_IDOC_CONTROL               = 1
    ERROR_WRITING_IDOC_STATUS          = 2
    ERROR_IN_IDOC_DATA               = 3
    SENDING_LOGICAL_SYSTEM_UNKNOWN      = 4
    OTHERS                         = 5.
IF sy-subrc = 0.
COMMIT WORK.
ENDIF.

First create an object in tcode -SCDO,there u specify ur tablename.
now the fields which are there in the ztable,in the further characteristics of the dataelement u need to check the check box CHANGE DOCUMENT HEADER.Now in SCDO u need to generate the upgarde program,the sap will generate four includes,u need to call them in ur program.
U need to write one FM ,where u need to use the FM's.

Update ztable from database table directly

hi all,
can u tell me the possible ways to update a ztable from database table directly.
i mean is there anyway to update ztable whenever entry is created in database table .
i dont want to update using insert,modify statements.
points will be rewarded to all hlpful answers.

A slightly dirty solution:
Use SAP functions for reading from CDHEADER and CDPOS tables [with enough filters such that you extract minimum records possible] to read changes to MARA table fields since last run of your program. Use this information to update your ZTABLE. I would recommend having a table maintainance generator on ZTABLE. The actual update should be by a BDC by calling transaction SM30 for ZTABLE maintainance. Now the program may be set up as a batch job running 1ce an hour. You get updates to the extent of 1 hour latency.
Alternatively, you may look if an opportunistic BADI / user Exit is there alongside MM01/02 transactions - assuming the latter are the only ones updating MARA. In this BADI you may write the code to update ZTABLE- again, look to do it by BDC call transaction sm30 to maintain ZTable. To lighten up the code -load on BADI you may simply raise a custom event and move on. You will configure a job that runs your program when that particular event is raised. This will need the 'burden' of figuring out the changes, though.
An elegant way would be to fire a MATMAS fIDOC for every change to Material, capture that and turn back the changes to ZTABLE. This will facilitate the delta load.

2. Used tcode OMSR- I added entry of Ztable'field here i gave selection group as 211, maint status as KDEVALBQPSZXCFG
alv group- blank. [screen shot of OMSR |https://plus.google.com/photos/114088763388693559922/albums/5704943614516268609]
After doing these steps Table name and field of table is visible in mm46. But problem is Field is not editable that is in display mode only.
Pleae see this snapshot - [error image|https://plus.google.com/photos/114088763388693559922/albums/5704938582830478801]

Customizing table Changes to another system

Hello all,
When ever changes occurred to personnel area HR table T500P then the changes needs to be replicated in another system.
how to capture the change log details?
Please provide the inputs.
Regards
Aravind

Hi,
First : In the table T500P , some of the field data elements dont have change log checked. so we will not able to use CDHDR and CDPOS table. I have to capture all the changes for this table.
Second: technical setting of the table has data log change check box is ticked but SCU3 is not activated . so this one also we can't use .
Third: Transporting data from on system to another system:For this there is no T500P table exist in the SRM system.
could you please elaborate how to use this step?
Fourth:
1. creating Ztable as copy of T500P and update the ztable with T500P data.
2. write events for this table to update T500P and also trasfer the data.
but thing is we should have to maintain custom table . If T500p changes then it will not update the ztable.
Fifth: I came to know that there is one message type "CONDA2" for Synchronizing Customizing Data Between Systems.
but don't know the procedure to get the complete solution.
Please provide your inputs..
Regards
Aravind.

Setting a default initial value to a CHAR type field in a custom table

Is it possible to set a default initial value to a field in a customer table(Ztable) that is not SPACE? SAP sets the initial value to " " space for datatype CHAR.
I am looking at creating a field in a table that would always default to 'X' on creation of a new row.
Your response is appreciated..

Hi,
I believe this cannot be done..
If you are inserting the row through a program then you can insert the field value to be 'X'.. If the value is not passed ..Then it will be blank..
If you are using table maintenance then in the PAI ..you can insert values..
Thanks,
Naren
