How to determine Default Table Logging (log data changes )

Former Member — Wed, 07 Nov 2007 10:23:42 GMT

Does anyone know how to view exactly what tables and related data fields have change logging enabled by default? I know that some of the standard reports will produce "edit reports" show who changed what field, when ,old and new values, etc, but I don't know how to determine where the data is retrieved from.

For example: If I look in the ABAP Dictionary at table LFA1, technical settings, it shows that log data changes is not "checked" or enabled. But if I run the standard AR Master Data Change Report, I get output showing valid field changes.

I have seen other threads that refer to SCU3 but I can't determine the above this from report.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.

Hi Arthur,

As far as I am aware, these are 2 different things.

There is table logging which is at the table level & if activated (i.e. it's listed in table DD0LV, PROTOKOLL=X and the table logging parameter is set in the system profile/s).

The second one is programatical logging for change documents when data is maintained though a program that has been written to include a log. I'm not sure how to identify a complete lit of these though unfortunately.

Hope that is of some assistance.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for the reply. You might be right about the programtic setting concept. I will try the other shortly, I got stuck working on other tasks...
