Log data changes for infotype

former_member185171 — Wed, 30 Nov 2011 14:42:20 GMT

Hi,

When creating an infotype with transaction PPCI, we notice that for the generated tables (in the technical settings) the flag 'Log data changes' is set (apparently for table infotypes in the HRT-table, for field infotypes in the HRP-table).

Does anyone know why this is done? And can this be avoided?

This gives us a lot of update logging records (in DBTABLOG) that we don't need.

What is the consequence of unsetting this flag?

Thanks for helping.

Kris

Not sure about the consequences in this particular scenario. A previous client of mine had changed this flag in a few standard tables, which is a small modification, but did not do any other harm.

In any case you can delete unwanted entries using report RSTBPDEL, which you can schedule to run in regular intervals.

In this case, if you want to unset this flag this can't be considered a modification, since the HRP* and HRT* tables correspond to custom infotypes. So if you need to reset the flag, just go to Technical Settings and do it.

It looks like there's no option in PPCI to avoid this behaviour, so I guess that's what the system does by default.
