Define Change Document Object
Proceed as follows:
- Call the maintenance transaction SCDO for change documents (). You get an overview of existing change document objects.
- Choose the menu option Create.
- Enter the name for the change document object.
- Choose Continue. You go to a new window for entering the tables.
- Enter a descriptive short text for the change document object.
- Make the following entries for each table whose changes are to be logged in the change document for this change document object:
Name of the table Name of the table, as defined in the Dictionary Flag Passed as internal table Set this flag if the change data is to be passed in an internal table (multiple case). If you do not select this field, the change data will be passed in a work area (single case) Flag Doc.of individual fields at deletion Set this field to log every field from which data is deleted. If you do not set this flag, the deletion of all relevant fields is entered in one document item (in the field FNAME is KEY, field TABKEY is filled). Flag Doc.of individual fields at insertion Set this flag to log every field in which data is inserted. If you do not set this flag, the insertion of all relevant fields is entered in one document item (in the field FNAME is KEY, field TABKEY is filled). Ref. table name Name of the referenced table If currency and unit fields are defined in a reference table, not in the passed table, you must pass the name of the reference table and the referred field, to the function modules. Create a structure in the Dictionary as INTTAB, and define fields for this structure with the names of the corresponding reference table and fields.
Then enter here the name of this structure that refers to the reference table
In the single case, the reference information is passed as two work areas (old, new). In the multiple case, the internal tables are enhanced to include the reference structure.
Name of the old structure Only possible in single case, i.e. when passing change data in a work area: If you do not want to use the *work area, enter an alternative name for the old work area. - After you have entered all the relevant data, choose Add Entries. The new entries are displayed.
- Save your entries.
Transport Change Document Object
The change document objects are included in the transport as a separate object type; the inclusion in a change task takes place when the object is created. The object-specific update task is generated in the target system during transport.
Transport object for change document objects:R3TRCHDO
The object-specific update task is generated in the target system during import. The object-specific update contains generated structures, include programs and a function group.
