Data Changes / Transports for Customizing Requests

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am working on building a report which will fetch the transport related data such as Release Date & Time, Import Date & Time along with the Objects in that particular Transport.

It works fine in case of Workbench requests because I browse through the VRSD table to fetch the previous transports for the given object.

However, for Customizing, as we know that we cannot find information in the VRSD table, is there any place where I can look for data changes / previous data for the given Table Content / View Content via any Class or Function Module? Please let me know.

Regards,

Hi,

You can use table E070 for field TRFUNCTION = W for customizing requests.

Check out FM - TMS_TM_GET_HISTORY and

Table E070

Even for workbench requests, VRSD does not give you everything. For example, transactions (R3TR TRAN) are not subject to version management.

Objects are in E071 and E071K, the transport history (date/time of release and import in subsequent systems) is stored in control files on the file system and can be read by several function modules, e.g. STRF_READ_COFILE, please search for previous discussions of this topic.

Hello Thomas,

Thanks for the inputs. Basically, here is what my requirement is.

1. Let us say we have a view T582L in which we have a record that changed and the change is on a transport (Customizing).

2. Now, I would like to know whether there is any place where the previous record (Old Record) for the same entry exists on a different transport.

3. So, it would be to track the changes happened to any of the T-Tables.

Thats what I wanted to know. Any further inputs would be of great help.

The table keys are visible in E071K, but not the entire table data (this is in compressed format inside the transport data files), so maybe analysing this table is sufficient for your purpose.

You could also look at table DBTABLOG, since most customizing T-tables have table logging activated, and if it is also activated for your client (system parameter "rec/client"), then the changes are stored in that table (once again compressed, you need tx SCU3 to view the details).
