The Data Structure view shows the structure of the datasets of the selected data messages. A dataset can consist of several nested tables and structures.
The data structure displays the whole tree of substructures and the subtables of the raw data structure of the selected data message(s). In the Web-based UI, select Data Structure
to have the data structure opened in a dialog box.
If you double-click on a sub-node of the record type in the data structure, the data contained in the structure is displayed in the Data Content view.
Some structures may be hidden based on the settings in Customizing for SAP Application Interface Framework
(transaction code /AIF/CUST
) under and under . If a structure is hidden, its content cannot be displayed in the Data Content view.
Which Customizing table is evaluated depends on which of the following is selected:
Interface Mode
If all selected messages belong to the same interface (the namespace, interface name, and version are equal), the settings in Customizing for SAP Application Interface Framework
under are relevant.
Namespace Mode
If the selected messages belong to more than one interface, but the interfaces belong to the same namespace, the settings in Customizing for SAP Application Interface Framework
under are relevant. This case only applies if all interfaces of this namespace share the same raw data structure, otherwise the data cannot be displayed.
Cross-namespace Mode
If the selected messages belong to more than one interface and these interfaces do not belong to the same namespace, all structures are displayed independent of the Customizing settings. This case only applies if all interfaces of the selected messages share the same raw data structure, otherwise the data cannot be displayed.
If you are in Technical Mode
, a button (Transform
) is visible in the Data Structure view. If you choose (Transform
), the data is transformed from the source structure to the destination structure. The Data Structure view now contains the destination structure. Double-clicking a node of the destination structure displays the transformed data in the Data Content view. Any log message that occurred during the transformation (for example, errors resulting from value mapping or checks) appears in the Log Message view. If you choose (Switch
), you can switch back to the previous display of the source structure.
