What values are possible for a specific object/field

[corinne_lofts]

Hi everyone,

I am trying to do the following

Pull a list out of the system that would provide me with value's description for a specific authoirsation object / field

I have tried SE16 > AGR_1251 > one of my roles

I am getting the role, object, field, low and high values

for example

myrole - M_FORECAST - ACTVT - 03

What I have missing is the English description of what "03" is. for example "Display"

A 03 for a field may not always have the same meaning for different objects

Alternativly can I pull a list somewhere of the potential values and their description for a specific Authorization Object / Field combination?

Thank you

Coco

Unfortunately there's no straightforward solution for this. The ACTVT field may well be the only exception as its possible values are listed in table TACT. I've been searching for this information but it has been a tedious manual job so far, with little success.

Let's hope the other forum members know some more information sources....

Yes , there is no direct way for this. You need to work on two reports using table information from AGR_1251 and TACT tables.

This is incorrect answer. AGR_1251 only contains information about already built roles and TACT only contains the values for the ACTV field, not the other ones.

Better look at the tables Dipanjan mentioned and remember you'll never get a complete answer as not all fields have predefined values.

Please go through the following Tables:

TACT : Contains the Text Descriptions of all Activities (for e.g. 01= Create/ Generate, 02= change etc.)

TACTZ : Contains the Authorization Object specific Activities.

TOBJ : Description of Authorization Objects

TOBJT: Text Description of Authorization Objects

AUTHX: Details of Fields

TPARA: Parameter Ids of Fields

There are many more... but these are of help as per your question.

It depends of the type of the field, and whether it is assigned to a data element or check table, and whether the data element has a domain with value range assign to it (those will be the values) or entries in the table (those will alternately be the values).

It is a good practice to use domains or check tables. Good question.

Cheers,

Julius

Thank you everyone for your suggestions, I think I have enough info now to play around and pull the desired data out of the system.
