Hi,

What is a table maintenance generator?

Table maintenance generator is used to create screen to maintain values in a table. Once you create maintenance generator, you can goto transaction SM30 and add data to table .

What does the button Find Maintenance Dialog mean in SM31?

Try to find corresponding table/view for maintenance.

Darshan, Din't you say in this post

that you can also create it from SM54?

What is the difference between SE 11 and SM 54?

Are they technical consultant codes or are that of a functional consultant as well?

About Table Maint Generator (the steps that you described) - Are technical consultants suppose to do it? or Functional Consultants?

Dear Jack,

1) If you have a close relook at the thread

i had mentioned <b>se54 & not sm54</b>.

2) SE11 is the transaction for data dictionary objects.

Here you can create & view data dictionary objects.

For eg : - You want to create a transparent table in the dictionary or you want

to create a search help.

3) The transaction se54 is correct.

Just input you table name in the screen , keep your radio button on generate

objects & say create.When you say create it will start to create a table maintainance generator by branching to transaction se55.

Now if you are doing the same thing from se11 :-

when you enter se11 -

---

> utilities -

---

>table maintainance generator ---> you will

branch to transaction se55 to create a table maintenance generator.

So here we are branching to the same transaction but thru se11 so

eitherways it is one & the same thing & its just a matter of choice from where you intend to take it forward.

Usually this stuff is taken care by technical consultants.

Hope i have answered your query correctly & hope i am not confusing you.

Hope this helps.

Kindly reward in case useful.
