Object with over 70 chars key

[Mike Pokraka]

Shai,

 

Enhancements can be done to standard tables without a problem within the
new(ish) Enhancement Framework. The only thing is you'd have to generate the
GUIDs for all existing records as a once-off exercise, and make sure a GUID
is generated each time a new record is created. This will however be the
case whether you use a mapping table or extend the existing one.

I have a bit more time now, so dug out the SAP doco:

dfb92b/frameset.htm

 

Be warned, the learning curve can be steep depending where you go. But it's
fun too and opens up a whole bunch of new possibilities.

 

Cheers,

Mike

Hi Mike,

 

Thanks for sharing the knowledge, unfortunately lately it is not obvious
among senior colleagues.

Since STXH is standard table, I don't think of changing it.

I will have a look at persistent classes - it sound suitable.

 

Thanks again.

Yes you will either need a Z-table to map the GUID to your key, or else
you can extend/enhance your table to add a field for your GUID.
Use class CL_GUID_SERVICES to generate them.

If you have time for a bit of a learning curve, you can also look at
persistent classes (my preferred approach in most cases). You never need
to touch GUIDs, the persistent class provides a DB abstraction layer that
handles all DB interaction & GUID generation etc. Integrating them into a
WF class is also very simple and brings a few other benefits too.

Cheers,
Mike
