Row level locking of database table

Find us on Facebook

By Swetabh Shukla, Infosys Technologies

Normally if a person opens table maintenance
generator and tries to maintain the table, no one
else can maintain the same table at the same
time. This is because of table level lock by
default in SAP. Only one user can maintain any
table at a time through SM30 or any transaction
that calls table maintenance generator. In the
tutorial below we will see how to remove table
level lock and apply row level lock. This way any
number of users can modify the table at same
time. But any particular row can be modified by
only one user at a time. We will create a
transaction for this purpose. The transaction will
call our custom report. This custom report will
call the table maintenance generator of the table
after deleting table level lock.
In current example lets create following:

Using transaction ZTEST_SHUKS3 we will delete the table level lock and put row level lock so that multiple users

We will make single screen maintenance for this table. Save it. So finally we have table maintenance code
automatically generated in function group ZTEST_SHUKS3.
3.

Create lock object EYTSS_E433SH in SE11. Give it name as EZTEST_SHUKS3.

Now save and activate the Lock object. SAP creates two function modules corresponding to lock object for
enqueue and dequeue of the table.

4.

Now create a report ZREP_SHUKS3 and transaction code ZTEST_SHUKS3 to call this report. This tcode
will call table maintenance generator of table ZTEST_SHUKS3 .

5.

Normally if a person opens table maintenance generator and tries to maintain the table, no one else can
maintain table at the same time. This is because of table level lock by default in SAP. Only one user can
maintain any table at a time. In report ZREP_SHUKS3 we will delete the table level lock and put row level
lock so that multiple users can maintain table at same time. Rows locked by one user will not be editable by
other user. Check the report and comments given below.
