Automate Table creation

[Former Member]

<<Do not post the same question in more than one place>>

Hi Experts,

I have a requirement where we have to deliver the client a solution where the table creations are to be done automatically. This means that we have to automate the process of creating the Domains, Data Elements and tables and make them ready to use. This process is being suggested here as there are many Ztables and this is to be implemented in different landscapes which have no relation to each other.

Please suggest a solution.

Thanks & regards

Kan

I think you can do this by downloading the table as Nugget and uploading it to the target system using SAPLINK. To know what SAP LINK is see below; [https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/SAPlink|https://wiki.sdn.sap.com/wiki/display/ABAP/SAPlink] Read the documentation and you will get some idea.

Even if systems are not connected, you can still build transport. The transport type should be Transport of Copies - see this in SAP Help http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/en/57/38e1a94eb711d182bf0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm. When the transport is released, files are created on the application server. These can be burned onto CD/DVD or copied to a USB stick, or emailed, or in someway transferred to the correct directory of the destination application server, from whence they can be imported.

There really is no need to do anything more complicated. Talk to your Basis team for help with the files on the application server, the directories and names of the files.

Hi Karthik,

I have found the problem relevant to both, more to ABAP General section and to data dictionary section. I guess there is no feature in SDN to flag the thread to appear in both the sections..

Thanx for the suggestion anyways..

I have been through the SAP Link earlier and couldn't make out much from it.. Can you please debrief it and kindly explain me how it can be helpful in having a solution for my problem..

Thanks & regards

It's still against the rules to post the same question in more than one forum. Where a question might apply in more than one category, just choose the one that is the most appropriate.

I see you can't understand SAP Link. Do you understand my proposed ToC solution - that I actually use on a regular basis?

Hi Matt,

I am still in talks with our team regarding the solution you suggested, checking out its feasibility. We are not sure if the transports work even if the target system is of different version. like for example we here have 4.6c and there is a possibility that other landscapes may have a similar or higher version like ECC.

And I have tried to go through the documentation of the SAP Link was able to understand regarding it. As per my understanding after trying to use the SapLink code, it only supports export/import of a Class or a Program. But not a table/ data element/ domain.

Please suggest me if anything else can be done from a programmers end in achieving the solution..

Thanx & regards

If it's basic objects like tables, data elements and domains, then, yes, it will work - especially when going from a lower version to a higher version of SAP. If there are problems, the chances are that the work to resolve them with be considerably lower than developing a programmatic solution. ( One point where it might go wrong is if the destination is unicode - but that's easily fixed)

If it helps you feel more comfortable, I do transports of extractors for BW from a 46c R/3 system to an ECC system on a regular basis, and have encountered no problems so far.
