Trigger on a table possible ?

martin_svik2 — Mon, 29 Mar 2021 13:34:55 GMT

Hello,

does anybody know if there is a possibility to have an trigger event on SAP standard tables ? E.g. in my case everytime a NEW row is added into table FEBKO i want immediately(!) trigger an event whichs calls an Z-ABAP-program.

Any ideas for that ?

I think using Change pointers and event linkage in SWEC can help here.

refer below links

Hello Taha,

thank you for your hints, but thats not what i am looking for: there is no business object behind the table FEBKO, so using SWEC won't help here ! The table FEBKO has also no logging activated in SE11:

As i wrote i need "live" event for the table FEBKO.

I see, thanks for the feedback!

As far as I know, this is not possible in ABAP. Maybe outside SAP on the db level.

DB triggers can do it. The hard bit is running the ABAP once the trigger has been triggered.

What do you mean by "DB triggers can do it" ?
