Procedure documentationSaving Configuration Data Records Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

In the ALV output, a configuration data record corresponds to a global view. Unlike the client-wide global view provided by the administrator, the configuration data record is an integral part of the application and is provided by the application programmer.

You can subsequently specify one of the configuration data records that you save for an ALV output as the start configuration of this ALV output (for more information, see Specifying the Initial View of Applications).

Prerequisites

  • Since you can only save a configuration data record at runtime, the ALV output must be part of an executable application.

  • You have a transport request in which you can save transportable objects.

  • You have access to a transportable development package in which you can store the data of the configuration data record.

Procedure

1. Starting the Application in Configuration Mode

  1. In the object list of the ABAP Workbench, double-click the name of the application.

  2. In the menu, choose   Web Dynpro Applications   Test   Execute in Admin Mode  .

  3. In the URL in the browser window, change URL parameter &sap-config-mode=X to &sap-config-mode=config and choose Enter.

    The application starts in configuration mode, in which you can save configuration data records.

2. Creating Configuration Data Records

  1. In the toolbar of the ALV output to which you want to save a configuration data record, choose Settings.

  2. In the Settings dialog box, make all the settings that you want to save with the configuration data record.

  3. In the Settings dialog box, choose Save As.

  4. In the Save View As dialog box, make all necessary specifications for the configuration data record.

  5. Enter the required transport request or select it using the F4 Help, and choose OK.

    If you now release the transport request with the new configuration data record, the transport can take place. A new view with the settings of the configuration data record is then offered in the ALV output.
