How to redirect SM30 on table to its main maintenance view

[Sandra_Rossi]

Hello,

For information, I'm posting this question along with my answer but you're free to add your own one, I'll accept the best one (according to me).

I have a ZMYTAB table for which I have defined a maintenance view ZMYVIEW (join of ZMYTAB with some text tables to show texts of ZMYTAB values), users should select this maintenance view to maintain the ZMYTAB table.

I'd like to be kind with users, if they do SM30 on the Z table, they should be redirected automatically to the maintenance view.

What is the best way to do this? (apart not doing code and telling the users to use SM30 with the maintenance view)

Thanks for reading me.

I created both

1) a maintenance dialog for ZMYTAB (which in fact will never open) - not sure whether it's required or not.

2) and an implicit enhancement option at the beginning of function module VIEW_MAINTENANCE_CALL and I did this code:

  view_name = SWITCH #( view_name
      WHEN 'ZMYTAB' THEN 'ZMYVIEW'
      ELSE view_name ).

view_name = z_view_mapper_factory=>get_instance( )->map( view_name ).
