Buttons in ALV DataProvider list

Refresh

Updates the status of all DataProviders.

Define DataProvider

By clicking this button, you are directed to the (2208) DataProvider Wizard, which assists you with defining a new DataProvider.

When you click on the arrow in the bottom right corner, a drop-down menu with 3 options will open.

Define DP - Same functionality as when clicking on the button directly.

Define DP from file - Allows you to execute DP definition from the JSON file. This is useful if you want to define multiple DataProviders.

Define DP from the clipboard - This option also allows definition from JSON format, but it has to be typed in manually or copy-pasted. The advantage of this method is that you can easily make changes in your JSON before executing the defining process.

More information can be found in the chapter Object Selection from JSON.

Group ID Scheduling

Schedule an offloading or reloading process for all DataProviders with the same Group ID.

More information can be found in the chapter Group ID Scheduling.

Logs

Displays all creation/change/offload/reload logs of all DataProviders for the selected time period.

DP description vs. DP name

You can choose to display a technical name or a description of a DataProvider in the ALV list. This change is also reflected in the Offloading condition field. If there isn't a description for an object in the system language, only the technical name is displayed.

Transport

It is possible to transport the definition of the DataProvider and its' settings to another system directly from SNP OutBoard™ Data Tiering. More information can be found in the chapter (2208) Transport of DataProviders and Settings to Other Systems.
