CINTHIA NAZNEEN 1 Comment » Q. What’s the full form of ECC? Ans: Enterprice Central Component. Q. What’s the full form of IDES? Ans: Internet Demonstration and Evaluation System. Q. What’s ABAP dictionary and its role in SAP? Ans: ABAP dictionary is the central information base for the developers. This manages all definitions(metadata) required for different applications in SAP. ABAP dictionary is completely integrated into ABAP development workbench. All other component of ABAP development workbench can access the data definitions(meta data) stored in the data dictionary. Role: ABAP data dictionary supports • definition of user-defined types (data elements, structures, table types). structure of database objects (tables, indexes and views) can also be defined. These user-defined types/objects are then automatically created in the underlying relational database using the above data definitions. • The ABAP dictionary also provides tools for editing screen fields (e.g., for assigning a field an input help i.e. F4 help). • Data dictionary ensures data integrity, consistency and security. Q. What are the main object types of ABAP dictionary? Ans: The object types of ABAP dictionary can be of following type: • • • • • • Tables: Tables are defined in the ABAP Dictionary independently of the database. A table having the same structure is then created from this table definition in the underlying database. Views: are logical views on more than one table. The structure of the view is defined in the ABAP Dictionary. A view on the database can then be created from this structure. Types (elements, structures, table types): Types are created in ABAP programs. The structure of a type can be defined globally in ABAP programs. Changes to a type automatically take effect in all the programs using the type. Lock objects:are used to synchronize access to the same data by more than one user. Function modules that can be used in application programs are generated from the definition of a lock object in the ABAP Dictionary. Domains: Different fields having the same technical type can be combined in domains. Foreign keys: Relationship between the table and the other tables are defined. Ans: Tables are defined independently of the database in ABAP dictionary. The documentation about the field is created for a data element. field names and data types are defined. a table is automatically created in the physical database(when the table is activated). Indexes: Secondary indexes are created for a table for faster data selection. Ans: • • • • Table fields: For table fields. Again following are defined for a table fields: • Field name can be of maximum 16 characters in a table and must start with a letter. The fields of the table are defined with their (Databaseindependent) data types and lengths. Note on SAP tables(defining through ABAP dictionary). Q. • Data element: The ABAP Dictionary also contains the information displayed with the F1 and F4 help for a field in an input template. What are the components of a table definition. . Q. Using the table definitions stored in the ABAP dictionary. • Input help: The list of possible input values that appears for the input help is created by a foreign key or a search help.Domain defines the value range of all table fields and structure components that refer to this domain. Technical settings: Data class and size category defines that what type of table to be created and how much space required. short text to a field. An input check(check table) for a field can be defined with a foreign key. field length (and decimal places) are automatically determined from the domain of the data element. The short description of the data element is then assigned to the field as a short text. Field length denotes the number of valid places in the field. field Length and short Text of any field is assigned? Ans: i. . iii. Also fields from other structures can be added to the table definition as include. field length (and if necessary decimal places) short text can be directly assigned to a field in the table definition. Data element assignment to a field. Decimal places Number of places after decimal point for float type value. What are the assignment options to the field? Ans: i. field length. Q.• • • • • Key flag determines if a field should be the table key. ii. A search help can be assigned to a field. ii. Field type depicts the data type of the field in the ABAP dictionary. How data Type. Direct assignment of data types. Q. Data element can be assigned to a field so that data type. Data type. Short text describes the business meaning of the field. iv. The reference field can also reside in the table itself. What’s table include? Ans: In addition to listing the individual fields in a table or structure. Q. <TABLE / STRUCTURE NAME > . The group of fields of that include can be addressed as a whole in ABAP application programs with a group name which is called as named include.g.<GROUP NAME>-<FIELD NAME> . Field UNIT contains currency key for PRICE. <TABLE / STRUCTURE NAME > . a name can be assigned to that included (included substructure). This field is called the reference field of the output field.TAB1 is the reference table for field PRICE and UNIT is the reference field for field PRICE.: TAB1 contains the field PRICE which holds price values. What’s reference table and reference field? Ans: Reference table is specified for fields containing quantities(data type QUAN) or currency(Data type CURR).v.g. E. Reference field or reference table must be specified for a table field that holds currency or quantity type value. What’s named include? Ans: If an include is added to define a database table or database structure.< FIELD NAME> 2.:We can access field of a table/ structure in the ABAP application program in the following manner: 1. Q. So. This reference table must contain a field with the format for the currency key (data type CUKY) or unit of measure (data type UNIT). fields from another structure can be included as includes. E. Q. Ans: Structure S1 may include structure S2 and again S2 may include S3.3. <TABLE / STRUCTURE NAME > . Whare are the uses of foreign keys in SAP? Ans: • Using foreign keys(as main table-field is linked with check table). Q. Give an example of nested include. fld4. Q. What’s the number of characters limit for field name? Ans: A field name may not have more than 16 characters in a table. fld7(primary key). fld2 and fld4 fields of the table tab1 are called as foreign key fields to the table tab2 and tab2 is called as check table or referenced table. • Foreign keys can also be used to link several tables. fld2. tab1-fld4 is connected to tab2-fld6Therefore. but in a structure maximum 30 characters are allowed for a field name. input value check for any input field can be done.e. tab1(Foreign key table or dependent table) contains the following fields: fld1(primary key). fld5 and Tab2(Referenced table) contains the following fields: fld6(primary key).<GROUP NAME> Q. What are foreign keys? Ans: Relationships between tables are defined in the ABAP dictionary by creating foreign keys. . Explaination on foreign keys: Suppose. fld9 and tab1-fld2 is connected to tab2-fld5. Q. Q. fld3. maximum 9 structures can be included in a table/structure. fld8.What’s the maximum depth of nested includes in a table? Ans: Maximum depth is 9 i. What’s check table? Ans: Check table is maintained at field level for data validation. What’s check field? Ans: One of the foreign key field is marked as the check field. What are text table? Q. Q. input validation checking is done i. One record of the foreign key table uniquely identifies a record of the check table (using the value entries in the foreign key fields of the foreign key table).Q. What are foreign key fields? Ans: One field of the foreign key table corresponds to each key field of the check table. That field of the is called as foreign key field. What are the types of foreign key fields? Q. How many types of data classes are there in SAP? .e. What is ‘technical settings’ of a table?What are the important parameters to be mentioned within it? Q.e. Q. Q. Q. Uses: A foreign key permits assigning data records in the foreign key table and check table. What’s cardinality? Q. a checking is done that whether the inserted value exists in the check table or not. What’s generic and constant foreign keys? Q. dataclass determines that under which table space/dbspace the table will be stored. This depicts that the foreign key relationship is maintained for that field. If doesn’t exist then system rejects the entry else input validation check for that field is successful. What’s data class? Ans: Data class is that which allows the table to get automatically assigned under specific tablespace/dbspace during table creation in the SAP database i. When a value is entered for that check field in the table. Choose APPL0(master data) for data that is frequently accessed but rarely updated/changed. Q.Choose APPL1(transaction data) for data that is frequently changed.e. an initial extent) in the database. What’s size category? Ans: The Size category is used to defined the space requirement for the table in the database. iii. How many tables are there in SAP? . then additional memory is added according to the mentioned size category for that table. How many types of size category are there in SAP? Ans: There are five size categories. correct size category prevents the creation of a large number of small extents for a table i. What’s the utility of size category? Ans: During table creation. What are the different buffering types? Q. prevents memory wastage. What are the different buffering permissions? Q. Q. A certain fixed memory size is assigned to each category in the SAP database. the SAP system reserves an initial space i.If in any case more space is needed. What’s logging? Q. ii.Data classes are mainly of three types(for application tables): i. Q. The other two types of data classes are:USR and USR1(for customer’s own development purpose).e. Size category from 0 to 4 can be choosen for the tables.Choose APPL2(organizational data) for customizing data that is defined/entered during system installation and rarely changed. How database tables are buffered? Q. What’s buffering? Q. Q. How buffers are filled up? Q. Q. ii. BSED. Q. What are table clusters? Ans: Table cluster is a table in the SAP database in which many cluster tables are stored. BSES and BSET. Q. Example of table cluster and cluster tables. program parameters. What is transparent table? Ans: The tables which create 1-to-1 correspondence between the table definition in the ABAP data dictionary and the table definition in the physical database are called as transparent tables in SAP. BSEG. Transparent tables. Uses of table pool or table cluster. Ans: i. Ans: VBAK. Q. What is table pool? Ans: Table pool is a table in the SAP database in which many pool tables are assigned. BSEC. What are pool tables? Ans: Tables assigned to a table pool are called as pool tables. What are clustered tables? Ans: Tables assigned to a Table cluster are called as clustered tables. Q. Pool tables. temporary data. KNA1 etc. Cluster tables. Give examples of transparent table. Q. Q.Ans: i. The table cluster RFBLG holds data for five transparent tables i. Ans: Table pool or table cluster is used to store SAP’s internal control information (screen sequences. continuous texts such as documentation). Q. iii.e. . VBAP. Q. Currency/Quantity fields. Transparent tables can store table relevant data whereas table pool or cluster tables can store only system data/ application data based on the transparent tables.
