Tables (SE16)
/DVD/NLS_W2_STAT
This table stores information about the loading of data into the NLS archive. Information regarding which request was loaded or activated, i.e. the number of records that were updated, inserted or deleted.
A – Activation
D – Deletion
I – Insertion
L – Loading
Records with REQUID = 0 may occur after successful execution of report /DVD/NLS_W2_CHECK_DSO. When the records are processed with /DVD/NLS_W2_CHECK_DSO, the report cannot tell which load requests the records, so the table /DVD/NLS_W2_STAT is updated with records with REQUID=0. This is usual behavior and doesn't cause any issues.
/DVD/NLS_W2_LOAD
In this table the user can insert technical names of DTPs or InfoPackages using Full Load. In case that Full Loads are not allowed (settings parameter WRITER_CHECK_FULL_LOAD) for processing, only the Full Load of DTPs/ InfoPackages specified in /DVD/NLS_W2_LOAD will be processed using Writer.
