Difference between DBTABLOG and CDPOS

Former Member — Tue, 15 Jan 2008 12:38:08 GMT

Hello forum,

hope that i'm right in this forum, couldn't find any better. So, my problem is (it's not really a problem) that we implmented logging on our tables using cdpos. Then we found out that changes also were logged in DBTABLOG, but not on every table and not quite the same fields like in cdpos. So can anyone tell me the differece between these two ways of logging table changes?

Thank you, Harry

Hi,

I think, the R/3 System logs customizing table changes to DBTABLOG if:

The Log data changes flag is set in the technical settings for the table and Logging is active.

But CDPOS logs any changes to data through various transactions to any type of tables.

This is my understanding.

DBTABLOG Log changes of records in transparent tables eg: customizing tables

Master transaction : SE11

You can log changes to table contents. This is primarily intended for Customizing tables. If you want to be able to log changes to table contents, you must set the corresponding flag in the technical attribute of the table. The profile parameter rec/client must also be set.

Look at [Activate/Deactivate Table Change Logging|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_47x200/helpdata/en/7e/c81ebb52c511d182c50000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]

CDHDR & CDPOS log changes to logical document, eg: purchase order, etc.

Master transaction : SCDO

Change document management, is programmatically updated (in update task after COMMIT)

Look at [ Change Documents|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/2a/fa015b493111d182b70000e829fbfe/frameset.htm]
