(Glue-2011) Data Dictionary

Transaction

/DVD/GL11

Glue Data Dictionary (DDIC) module stands on the top of the hierarchy of GLUE metaobjects.
In Glue DDIC you can create a Glue table or view the structure and other relevant information about the Glue table.

DDIC identifies transparent data and enables manipulation with it. Whether you read, insert, transform, or virtualize data, all these processes always heavily rely on the GLUE DDIC module.

Metaobject

Glue table

The module itself allows data modeling and maintenance of Glue tables similar to standard SAP SE11 transaction, thus the transaction /DVD/GL11. It enables you to create, edit, display, or delete the main Glue metaobject - the Glue table. The Glue tables are pushed to a predefined Storage and can be created in a transparent way, as well.
