SNP Glue™ Data Dictionary (DDIC) module stands on the top of the hierarchy of SNP Glue™ metaobjects.

In SNP Glue™ Data Dictionary you can create the SNP Glue™ table or view the structure and other relevant information about the SNP Glue™ table.

SNP Glue™ Data Dictionary identifies transparent data and enables manipulation with it. Whether you read, insert, transform, or virtualize data, all these processes always heavily rely on this module.


The basic SNP Glue™ metadata object is SNP Glue™ table, which allows a user to work with a table on external storage in the SAP landscape.

It holds information about external storage data structure and other settings. SNP Glue™ table serves as a link to the table in external storage.

Metaobject

SNP Glue™ table

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