Changing the Attributes of a Predefined Segment (SAP Library - Data Retention Tool (DART) (CA-GTF-DRT))

Changing the Attributes of a Predefined Segment

Use

The predefined set of segments has predefined attributes, such as the fields for which indexes are defined. If you wish to change the indexes, or if you wish to change the fields used for control totals in a predefined segment, then you need to change segment attributes.

Note that you can only change a few of the attributes of a predefined data segment. However, you may change all of the attributes of a customer-defined segment, that is, a segment that you or someone else has added to DART. See the topic discussing the creation of new data segments.

Note

Changes only affect newly created extracts. Use the rebuild tool to apply new configuration to existing extracts.

Procedure

From the main DART menu, choose Configuration ® Data segments.
The Configure data segments screen lists existing segments.

Mark the segment in the list of existing segments.

Choose Edit ® Change segment.

You can only change the following attributes for a predefined data segment:

Segment data, Application

Index fields (see the topic Improving the Performance of Views for a discussion of which indexes to define)

Control totals, Key figure

Control totals, Grouping field

The screen is similar to that of creating a new segment and defining its attributes. See the description of the fields in that topic.

Choose Continue at the Data segment attributes screen.
Choose Save at the Configure data segments screen.
