Maintenance view Vs Table maintenance

Former Member — Wed, 03 Oct 2007 05:39:20 GMT

Hi,

I would like to know the dif between T.Maintanance And Maintenance view.

As we know as per the def we know Maintenance view will be used to maintain a table. But I have never created any M.view for the same.

However we use Table maintenance generator and SM30 for the same. How these 2 concepts are differnet?

Which one is the best method 2 use?

what one step and two setp process? Advantage and usage of 2step process?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Praneet..

These two are different concepts altogether but they have some connection.

1. Table Maintenance: To facilitate the Updation / Viewing the Records of a Table thru a Tcode We have to Generate the Table maintenance (program and screens) in Tcode SE54.

This will generate the Function Groups and Screens required to Maintain the Entries in table.

Then only we can maintain this Table in Tcode SM30.

2. Maintenance view: It is one type of View which can be used to update/view the data from multiple tables at a time.

But after creating a Maintenance view, We must generate the Table maintenance .

Only then we can maintain the entries using a Maintenance view.

Hi Varma,

Thanks for your answer.

Why is adv of maintenance view? To maintain table entries if we need to go for Maintenance after the creation of M.view? what is it's use basically?

Without having M.view we can directly maintain table using table maintenance generator know?

I would like to know the actual purpose of M.view.
