Data Modeler - how to access it

Howdy All,

I've heard of somethin' called the data modeller that I should have access to as a developer...

Does anyone know the transaction and how to use it?

Thanking you all kindly.

Howdy,

Can anyone give a breif overvierw of how/why a devloper would want to use the Data Modeller (transaction SD11).

I'd really appreciate that!

Hi Steve

<b>SD11-Data Modeler</b> is used, as its name implies, to model your processes.

You can create entity types, connect tables or views to those entities, implement connections between entities and if needed, you can also insert business objects all in a hierarchical way. You can connect data models to each other as well.

By this way, you document your own processes containing also some technical perspective.

Hope this small piece will give some basic understanding.

Thanking you kindly.

So would I be correct in thinking that SD11 is just a way of documenting the system?

Messing around in that transaction won't have any negative effects on R/3 will it?

Hi Steve

Yes. It is just modeling and has no ability to make changes on the system itself.

However, you can include entity types and data models you've created in a request to be transported.
