Customer Enhancements: Adding Segments and Fields (SAP Library - Data Retention Tool (DART) (CA-GTF-DRT))

Customer Enhancements: Adding Segments and Fields

Purpose

The data that can be extracted by default when using DART includes certain fields from certain tables from certain R/3 application components.

The data that can be extracted by default with DART is defined by the SAP-provided set of data segments.

Your data retention needs may require data from additional tables or fields. You then need to either add fields to SAP-provided segments, or you may need to add new data segments.

Process Flow

The following diagram summarizes the process of adding segments and fields to DART:

This graphic is explained in the accompanying text

Your goal is to add a field or a group of fields that are not included in the SAP-provided segments.

If the fields are related to the data in any of the existing SAP-provided segments, then add the field(s) to the SAP-provided segment.

If there is no related data in the SAP-provided segments, you can add a new segment to DART and define its fields.

See the detailed procedures for performing these tasks.
