Recreating standard SAP function

Former Member — Wed, 18 Nov 2015 14:46:52 GMT

Hello Experts,

What i'm trying to accomplish is get a standard function to work from the ERP installment to another installment; the way i'm doing this is through nuggets and zsaplink but i don't know if this is the correct way to do it. Am i doing it right? or how is the correct way to do something like this, per say, getting a standard table maintenance function group to import it to another installment; other ideas or ways to do it are welcome

P.S.: Or should i get through the tedious way of doing everything one by one (Which it will take me a lot of precious time)

Thank you,

Mike

standard table maintenance --> for which table?

Wouldn't it be better to regenerate table maintenance programs in the other system? Why do you want to copy it from the first system?

Table maintenance programs can't stand on its own. It requires config table entries as well. So, just copy pasting programs won't be enough.

Thanks,

Juwin thank you for your reply,

What i'm trying to do is to copy the SE16n to another system that it doesn't have it. SE16n is like a table viewer/maintenance function and i'm trying to recreate it in another system that it doesn't have. Do you have a suggestion or another way to do this?

Thanks.

Mike

There are some authorization objects and database tables, which are used by SE16N transaction. So, if you just copy-paste the function group, it would not work in the 2nd system. If you use automated tools, most of them recreates the objects with same name as in the original system. This should be avoided, because they are in standard SAP namespace.

Hence, I would suggest you to take guidance from SE16N, and build a tool yourself to mimic the functionality.

Thanks,

Juwin
