Hi,

I have created one ztable in data dictionary, with 3 fields .

And after that data has been added to the table of which there is no backup.

After few days there was a requirement to add 2 new fields in the table.

I have added two extra fields and changed the name of one of the existing fields.

Due to this, the data associated with this field for which the name has been changed , got overwritten and is blank.

Please assist ,how to get that old data back as the TR used is same (Active TR).

This all is in development server, no changes moved to quality and production.

Hi.

I think, there is no possibility to get the data back. If you have the same data in your quality-system, you can change the fieldname back to his old name and then transport the Date from the quality-System to the development system.

If you want to change the Name of a field without loosing data, you have to export your data first and import again after the change, or you make a new field first, then transfer the data to the new field using a report and finally you can delete the old field.

Peer.

If no backup then check with the other systems in your landscape which have Copy of the the system you are checking in.

If not, then possibly there is no chance to get back the old data.
