Table Maintainance Generator

Former Member — Wed, 12 Jul 2006 08:40:10 GMT

I've deleted a table maintainance generator and made changes to the fields of the table.

Initial version of the maintenance view already transported to QAS.

We're assigning transports to the table contents also.

Previously it is working fine.

But now after regenerating the Maintainance generator it says that transport cannot be assigned to this values.

Is it because we have not transported the regenerated version or any specific instruction to be followed?

TIA

Hai Phani

1. specially function group.. what is its significance

When we generate table maintenance,

the system , based upon the table fields,

automatically,

generates

PROGRAM CODE, SCREEN FOR ENTERING DATA,

LOGIC FOR SAVING DATA, LOGIC FOR DISPLAYING DATA

ETC.

2. All this are BUNCHED under

a FUNCTION GROUP

(if you open that function group in se80, after

creatting table maintenacne,

u will see the program code, screens, gui status etc)

3. Hence, to BUNCH all these various objects,

SAP uses the concept of function group.

*----

4. And also why do we need to give two screens there

Its not necessary to have to screens.

5. ONE SCREEN MEANS:

only one screen with table control to enter data

TWO SCREEN means :

first screen : only primary key fields will appear

second screen : rest of the fields will appear to enter data

6. When the table consists of many fields,

its practically more convenient to have two screens,

so that all fields come vertically downwards.

(instead of scrolling horizontally in the table

control, in case of one screen concept)

The use of the FG is only this the Table Maintainance Generator part. Neednt be declared anywhere else.

yes u need to create a FG and the use it in Table maint. gen.

Also, Check out this weblog on table maintenance:

/people/sudheer.cheedella/blog/2006/02/20/extracting-data-in-table-maintenance

Table maintenance - parameter transaction

Easier way is to regenerate the table maintenance.

In SE11 take the table and go in Change mode.

Then go to Utilities->Table Maintenance Generator.

In the next screen press the Change button. In the resulting

screen check the boxes

which are relevant and press enter.

Thanks & regards

Hello,

Assign a New Customiyzing request for the contents of the table.

Since if the Workbench request of the Table. Mai.is transported the contetns of the table will also be transported. SO assign a new one.

If useful reward the points.

Vasanth,

Problem is i've assigned am transport request to the regenerated version but haven't moved it to QAS.

I want to know whether, will it assign transport request to the Contents of the table without first moving the generator to QAS.

Now if i try to maintain values in table and transport and them it is saying transport cannot be assigned to this values.

Hi Phani,

First you have to delete the contents then transport and later you have to populate the values or else you will land up in Transport Request error.

Thanks & Regards,
