Tables SWW_CONT, SWW_CONTOB & SWWCNTPO...

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Joe,
Well for starters, NEVER read container data directly from the tables.  Container data is actually held in a number of different formats, including XML format, depending on the release and application involved so if you access tables directly you are at high risk of failure and very high risk of your solutions not working after upgrades.  What worked for 4.6C cannot be guaranteed to work in a WAS system if you access tables directly as container handling is one of the areas that has changed very significantly in WAS.
 
Instead please use the WAPIs and BAPIs and similar function modules provided by SAP for customers.
 
Perhaps you could describe the situation you are trying to solve from a business viewpoint.
 
It would also be helpful to specify what release of CRM you are working on.  If you go to menu System > Status you should also be able to see what Basis release you are on (6.10, 6.20?).
Regards,
Jocelyn

Subject: Tables SWW_CONT, SWW_CONTOB & SWWCNTPO...
 
 
Hi there WF experts.
 
I have a question.  We are currently up and running in WF using 4.6C and
we also have a couple of other boxes with CRM, EBP, etc...
 
I noticed that in the CRM system (Basis kernel 620) that the container
data is not always stored in the SWW_CONTOB and SWW_CONT tables, as it
was in 4.6C  There seems to be a new table  called SWWCNTP0 that appears
to have container elements, but the data appears to be in GUID key
format, so I'm unable to determine what the data represents.  According
the ST05, the new SWWCNTP0 table is all that WF needs to display the WF
log including the container data, whereas in 4.6C it used SWW_CONT &
SWW_CONTOB tables.
 
Can anyone tell how to decipher or get the container data using the
SWWCNTP0 table, so that I can get to the data the same was as SWW_CONT &
SWW_CONTOB?
 
Thanks in advance for your help.
