ABAP Shared Objects

Former Member — Fri, 30 Sep 2011 16:43:41 GMT

Hi,

I'm working on Shared Memory Objects.

I would like to know if there's a way to create Shared Memory Areas (transaction: SHMA) by code.

Till now, i didn't found a solution for this.

Thanks,

Fábio Ramalho.

Hi,

If you trace SHMA, you'll see that most of the code is declared locally, plus external function modules to create the class, so that would be tough to replicate it. But a BDC could do the trick.

I don't know why you need it, but I wouldn't recommend to run it productively (just in the dev system, then transport it as usually).

Edited by: Sandra Rossi, 2 minutes later : I just saw that there was SHMA_WB_TOOLINT_REQUEST function module (it's not called from SHMA transaction, but it's worth looking at it)

Hi Sandra,

The ideia is precisely use it just in the dev system.

The reason i'm doing this is because i have a lot of classes and i may need to add a few more in the future.

I'm having difficulties finding the code that provides all the options that i see on transaction SHMA.

Thanks,

Fábio.

Hi,

[Shared Objects - Implementation|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/c5/85634e53d422409f0975aa9a551297/frameset.htm]

[Check this one Ref link|;

For Text tables, "Reading" the Shared Objects would be easy, but "Updating" would not be that easy.

To update the shared object, you need to open the ojbect for update from all the places from where the text table is being updated. E.g. MAKT from the Material Master (and somewhere else, I don't know).

Shared Objects would be good when you are not dealing with the data which can be directly updated from Production. E.g. Configuration data.

koolspy.

Hi Fabio,

Just a idea...

Perhaps you could start by importing all local classes defined in program SAPLSHMA in global ones, so you can check more easily what methods could be reused ?
