Activating and Deactivate Table Logging

Activate/Deactivate Table Change Logging  

Prerequisites

To be able to log the table changes in one client, activate the s ystem profile parameter R ec/ C lient .

To be able to use the logging in transports, you must make the entry r3transoptions = recclient="XXX" in the transport control profile. The entry XXX can have the same value as the profile parameter Rec/Client.

Activate/Deactivate Table Change Logging

       1.      Choose Tools  ®  ABAP Workbench ®  Development  ®  Dictionary (SE11) in the initial screen.

    2.      Enter the name of the table whose log settings you want to check.

       3.      Choose Change.

The table is displayed. The system may ask you for a change key, because a change to a Dictionary object is a modification in a customer system. Enter the appropriate data.

       4.      Choose Goto ® Technical Settings.

       5.      Select/Deselect Log Data Changes checkbox.

All customizing tables are automatically recorded by default.

       6.      Choose Activate.

If you only save the change, it is not effective.

Deactivate table change logging in the technical settings 

To avoid generating too many log entries, you can deactivate the logging for specified tables when making bulk changes.

Deactivating the logging in the technical settings of the table in the Dictionary is not a modification. You do not need to specify a change key.

       1.      Choose the transaction Dictionary: Technical Settings (SE13).

       2.      Enter the table name.

       3.      Choose Change.

       4.      Cancel Log Data Changes selection.

       5.      Choose Activate.

You should not deactivate logging for customizing objects.
