Adding records in extractor enhancement

[Former Member]

We want to <u>add new records</u> in the extractor exit. We're using the customer enhancement <b>RSAP0001</b> for BW Data Extraction (component/exit <b>EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001</b> for transaction data, include file <b>ZXRSAU01</b>),

Does anyone know if it is possible to add records to the table <b>C_T_DATA</b> in the exit code without running into problems? We are aiming to implement a split function, but still would like to keep the delta functionality of the business content extractor.

Thanks for any comments,

Peter Schenkels.

Hi Peter,

technically speaking you can easily do what you want in the the mentioned userexit, but you already anticipate the only issue you have to manage: delta mechanism (and, overall, the right sequence of your delta records...).

The first problem you have to manage is how to fill STORNO field...about that, take a look to OSS Note 757361 ‘Additional data records in BW when document changed’ for more information on correctly populating the before and after image...but if you don't need any serialization inside your delta package, don't worry about the sequence...

I suggest you to do a lot of test in order to assure that this enhancement operation doesn't damage your right flow !

Hope it helps !

Bye,

Thanks Roberto,

As long as there is no issue in returning more records from the user exit than the number that went in, I think I'll give it a try. Since we're dealing with financial A/R data here rather than SD/LE (as in the OSS note you referred) I think we should be allright, but I'll certainly check if cancellations can be a problem here.

Sure there is no administration done outside the exit that prevents you from adding records in the exit without messing it up?
