Finding out how a table is updated

former_member302630 — Wed, 21 Nov 2018 05:39:48 GMT

I want to find out how a certain zdbtable is updated. I used where-used list but am not able to find a update or insert or modify statement.

Any other way , a program that will search say 'insert zdbtable' perhaps?

Hi James,

Possibility of creating entries in db table by either of below steps in SE11,

1) Check if TMG has been created for the db table ( Utilities -> Table Maintenance Generator ). If it is created, Go to SM30 and check.

2) Can create entries manually ( Utilities -> Table contents -> Create Entries ).

Thanks !!!...

if you know which program run and update those table, you could turn on SQL trace in ST05 and findout. but your program may not that complex to use sql trace. sometimes, consultant will define ztable as configuration table and update it manually so you should check through SM30 if it have table maintain too.

Try using Code_Scanner Transaction and do a text string search within z* packages.

As Srikanth Peri ’s suggestion.

You can use the Tr-cd code_scanner to find the program which the abap statement is needed.

Have a good day.
