Reg. table maintenance generator and function group

[Former Member]

I am trying to create a table maintenance for a custom table. It is asking for a function group. Should I create a new function group for each table maintenance I generate?

Thanks in advance for your input.

Hi

No you can use the same! U need a custom function group only!

It is up to you and what your policies are. Personally, I usually use a different function group for each project and group all of the table maintenances within that project under the same function group.

Hi Krish,

Give the Function group as Table/View name. Else create a new one and assign.

Hi Krishen,

I would say that it depends on the modularization you desire. For example I prefer to group table manitenance within the same function group when they belong to a same "functionality" or process.

But still believe it's just depending on how you want to organize them.

Kind Regards,

Mention the function group to which your table belong. If you do not have one you need to create.

Hi Krishen,

You can also assign authorization groups to tables to avoid users accessing tables using general access tools (such as transaction SE16). A user requires not only authorization to execute the tool, but must also have authorization to be permitted to access tables with the relevant group assignments. For this case, we deliver tables with predefined assignments to authorization groups. The assignments are defined in table TDDAT; the checked authorization object is S_TABU_DIS.

You can assign a table to authorization group Z000. (Use transaction SM30 for table TDDAT) A user that wants to access this table must have authorization object S_TABU_DIS in his or her profile with the value Z000 in the field DICBERCLS (authorization group for ABAP Dictionary objects).

HI,

It is advisable to have a different function group and not depend on others, because, if you are using a function group which is already developed and at any point of time they decide to delete then your table maintenance would not work.

So have it as a separate one.

Hi Krishen,

Its always recommended to keep the Fucntion Group for Table Maintainance seperate.

One scenario where it helps is that if you run your Ext Program Check for the Function Group which contains your custom Function Modules, you can correct the errors.

And as there is a seperate Func Grp for the Table Maintainanance , you are sure it wont cause any additional errors in the Ext Program Check.
