Add value to customer domain

[former_member718787]

Hi ABAP gurus,

I want to add a new value to the value range in a Z-domain. When I activate the domain SAP shows a take note:

Change to domain Z-xxx:

Runtime object and time stamp for dependent tables and structures are adjusted

83 dependencies: 11 table(s), 72 structure(s)

Has anyone experience when I click on continue what are the consequences or side-effects?

Thanks in advance!

This is a check message, because if you change the structure of the Domain, all this dependencies need to be checked for any kind of impact. For example change the type, or size etc.

But adding new value range, do not cause direct impact in this objects, so you can click yes.

petia.zugelder,

The message means that this Domain is already in use by 11 tables and 72 structures. So whenever a change is made to this domain system will politely warn us to ensure that our changes does not affect the existing object which is already using it. Only if we are sure about our changes that it won't affect other objects we should continue else we need to take appropriate measures.

In your case since you had to add only values to domain you can very well continue and proceed further...

Regards!

Hi Petia,

Before you add the domain value, it is a good idea to check the dependencies and do a impact analysis,

Do a WhereUsed list on this domain and check the places, where domain values are fetched from DD07L or with FM DDIF_DOMA_GET. There might be an underlying logic or validation based on values. If you don't find anything of this sort then you should be good to continue 🙂

Thanks,

You say that it's a "Z-domain", so there's no side effect except the ones if your Z-application use the domain values in a special way. So, only you can answer the question.
