Hi Ashok,

yes its possible to change the length/ Title of the Field added through AET.

1- Identify Extension ID of the AET field (Transaction AXTSHOW) .

2- Adapt Metadata: Change in Table AXT_EXT_PART_DTL (OBJ_PARAMETER LENGTH, set OBJ_PARAMVALUE to the desired length).

Include the entry in a transport order (Mandant intependent, Workbench order).

3- Adapt Metadata: Change in Table AXT_CAT_OBJ_DTL (OBJ_PARAMETER LENG, set OBJ_PARAMVALUE to the desired length).

Include the entry in a transport order (Mandant intependent,  Workbench order).

4- Include in a transport order the Extension ID (Workbench order)

5- Run AXT_EXT_ANALYZE -> No inconsistencies found

6- Regenerate the extension (Transaction AXTSHOW)

7- Set the final width in the domain (SE11) (Workbench order).

Pls let me know in case of any issues...

Hi Santosh,

Thanks for the helpful info.

I need to change only the name of the field and I can find the entry in both the tables AXT_CAT_OBJ_DTL and AXT_EXT_PART_DTL.

Is that enough to change it in the table AXT_EXT_PART_DTL for the parameter Field_id or I have to change it in table  AXT_CAT_OBJ_DTL also. I have this doubt because, in the cat table there are many entries available for the same enhancement ID with the parameter value "field ID" and the current name of the field.

can u please help.

Thanks,

Ashok N.
