The Record Types View shows the structure of the datasets of the selected data messages. A dataset can consist of several nested tables and structures.

Features

  • The object structure displays the whole tree of substructures and the subtables of the raw structure of the selected data message(s). If you double-click on a sub-node of the record type, the data contained in the structure is displayed in the Source Data View.

  • Some structures may be hidden based on the Customizing settings in Customizing activity   Namespace-specific Features   Hide Structures   and the Customizing activity   Interface-specific Features   Hide Structures.   If a structure is hidden, its content cannot be displayed in the Source Data View.

  • It depends on the selection which Customizing table will be evaluated:

    • Interface Mode: If all selected messages belong to the same interface (namespace, interface name and version are the equal), the Customizing settings under Interface-specific Features are relevant.

    • Namespace Mode: If the selected messages belong to more than one interface, but the interfaces belong to the same namespace, the Customizing settings under Namespace-specific Features are relevant. This case will only apply, if all interfaces of this namespace share the same raw structure, else 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 will only apply if all interfaces of the selected messages share the same raw structure else the data cannot be displayed.

If you are in Technical Mode a button Transform is visible in the Record Data view. Clicking the button the data is transformed from the raw structure to the SAP structure. The Record Type View now contains the SAP structure. Double-clicking a node of the SAP structure will display the transformed data in the Source Data View. Any log message that occurred during the transformation (for example, errors resulting from value mapping or checks) will appear in the Log Message View . Clicking button Switch you can switch back to the previous display of the source structure.
