Data class and Delivery class

Former Member — Mon, 07 Jul 2008 11:47:53 GMT

Hi Experts,

If we need to determine tables whether they are Customizing or Master or Transactional, Do we need to Consider either Data class or Delivery class or both.

Example: In oder to fetch the All Transactional tables we are taking into considaration the Data-Class = "APPL1".then we are getting around 9000 tables.

IF we filter with the Delivery-class = "A" then we are fetching around 5000 tables.

One Basic Doubt,What could be the exact criteria to fetch all the Transactional OR Master OR Customization tables.

Regards

Well Exactly i could not get your question but

DATA CLASS is used specify the storage location in the underlying data base so when you specify that APPL1 all the tables are displayed whose data class is APPL1 and

DELIVERY CLASS is again specifies how many records does the table contain when you specifed it as 'A' then from APPL1 whose delivery class is 'A' those tables are filtered

Hope this gives you an idea

Hi Pavan,

Tnx for your quick reply.What you said is correct,but we have different scenario.

We need to categeorize the tables based on Master or Transactional data.

If we consider data-class = APPL1 and Delivery-class = "A"...then we are missing other deliver classes like S,C,X etc... do we need to consider these delivery classes ALSO...for fetcing the all transactional data????

No, why because already by specifying the DELIVERY CLASS as 'A' you said that you need only MASTER & TRANSACTIONAL DATA so you don't need to consider the other delivery classes

Hello DK,

To determine if a table should contain Customizing or Master or Transactional, you have to specify the delivery class.

Data class does not determine the type of data to be stored

but it determines where the data will be stored in the database.

So choose the appropriate delivery class according to your requirement..

Hi Raju,

Only one Delivery Class option can be selected for a table.

You have selected the delivery class 'A', which specifies that it is master and application data.

Once you have specified a delivery class, there is no need for specifying other types.

Hope this helps you.
