Creating Change Documents for newly created 'Z' Table

[Soady, Phil]

Hi Joc,
Someday soon, I will share the Records Management stuff from teched with you.
Will definitely be a hot Workflow topic.
 
IE how to integrate Workflows into records mgt. (Good new tool !)
 
A new object method is used to link workflow to an object in records mgt.
This means ALL workflows that are to be visible in Records mgt must be upgraded
to make these extra calls.
I can see a new wizard being needed !!!!
 
Cheers

Hi Greg,
You still have to slot the appropriate bits of the generated code into the transaction that updates the custom Z table as per standard audit trail programming. It's not just configuration to get an audit trail - you have to link the audit trail creation into the transaction itself.
 
Suggest you read up on it in the SAP Library help - try the ABAP section/extended applications functions.

Subject: Creating Change Documents for newly created 'Z' Table
 
 
BlankHi all, hope someone can shed some light on my problem as I'm at the end of my rope :-)
 
I am wanting to create a change document for particular 'z' field on a newly created custom 'z' table (just created the table from scratch). I have created the table, checked on the 'change document' flag at the Field/DE level, created a new 'z' change document object, assigned the new table to the
new object, and generated the update includes/function module.
 
My question is; I was under the assumption that once this was configured via SCD0, and because this was activated at the data dictionary level for my particular field (again, a 'Z' field in a 'Z' table), that the system would automatically produce a change document in CDHDR? (when I change a value
for that particular field, current updating it directly through a little test ABAP).
 
Do I explicitly have to 'write' or 'create' and change document via MY code (in addition to this configuration)? Guess I thought SAP did this 'automatically' at some lower level.
 
One thing I did do when I created the change document object was I had to leave the 'namespace' field blank (which appears to be optional). Not sure if this has any relevance (note that I assigned it to a transportable development class, but when prior to that when you create the change document
object, it asks you for a namespace. No entries in that drop down list were 'allowed' by the system to be used!). I mention this only because it just seemed bit strange.
 
Any input is greatly appreciated!
 
Thanks to all in advance,
 
Cheers,
Greg
