(Glue-2411) Structure Watchdog

This watchdog periodically checks pairs DDIC Table ↔︎ SNP Glue Table for differences in the structure and if found any, alters the target SNP Glue Table based on the source DDIC Table.

This watchdog can be accessed via transaction /DVD/GL_SWD or the SNP Glue gateway (transaction /DVD/GLUE).

Tables overview

Tables can be moved between the SNP Glue Tables list and the Watched Tables list by buttons or by double-clicking on the row in the list. You can display logs for the table by clicking on the log button in the ALV toolbar.

The SNP Glue Tables list is not maintainable via the Structure Watchdog screen. The list is being created during the creation of the SNP Glue table, although not every SNP Glue table is fit for being watched by the Structure watchdog. The SNP Glue table needs to be (almost) of the same structure as the DDIC table which are the fields imported from:

• The user can add only the GLDELFLAG field (GLREQUEST is allowed also)

• No field cannot be removed

• No field cannot be changed type-wise

Except for these three rules, no other adjustments are allowed.

Saving the data

The data on the screen (settings + mapping) is saved into DB automatically when the watchdog is turned on. The user can save it also manually by clicking on the Save icon.
