tracing changes to ztables

Former Member

Dear Experts

I have a z-table which I am checking what is causing perceived deletion of selected records.

Am i right to say the only way to trace changes to a ztable is using change log from tables cdhdr and cdpos?

If so, kindly advise what settings are required.

For example ,

1. what object type for change log table should be created? how to create it?

2. what table technical settings we need to set to enable change logging?

I assume this would have system performance impact. So, I intend to use it to monitor the problem for a short while.

Please advise . Thanks!

Best regards

M Russo

Hi,

Go thru the steps in this document: [Steps to enable logging of changes in change documents|http://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/Snippets/Stepstoenableloggingofchangesinchangedocuments]

If you are talking about logging changes to tables you do this in technical setting of respective table, go thru the document below.

[Activate/Deactivate Table Change Logging|http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/7e/c81ebb52c511d182c50000e829fbfe/content.htm]

For further details check SAP Note# 1916

Hope this is what you are looking for!!

Hi Mirella,

As far as I know, set the flag 'Log data changes' in 'Technical Settings', and then any table change will be logged into DBTABLOG table.

Indeed, and as you said, this has impacts on performances, see related documentation.

Hope this could help.

Ciao,

Flavio
