Hi ,
To Know enhancement concept I Enhanced 2LIS_11_VAHDR Data source . I followed following steps .
1. SE11 ,Gave Extract Structure name ,Append Structure ,Appended
1. Matnr
2. Lgort
Then Activated .
Now when i came to LBWE and try to Click 'Inactive' to activate it is showing errors
<b>In program "SAPLMCEX ", the following syntax error occurred
in the Include "MCEX11TOP " in line 14:
""MC11VA0HDR" must be a flat structure. You cannot use internal tables,"
" strings, references, or structures as components ." </b>
If i try to generate data source by clicking data source name it shows following error
Warning
Extraction structure includes invalid field LGORT with ABAP type
<b>Error
Event with errors Extract in DataSource 2LIS_11_VAHDR</b>
How to solve this , now i am not even able to activate the data source .....?

BI,
I think you might be using referenced fields like
Amount / Quantity etc - these require the units fields
also to be able to be activated...
Arun
P.S check the forums for posts having "Invalid
Extraction Structure" that would give you the answers
you require...

Hi BI Begineer,
your error message is:
<i>MC11VA0HDR must be a flat structure. You
cannot use internal tables,
strings, references, or <b>structures</b> as
components.
Extraction structure includes invalid field
<b>LGORT</b> with ABAP type [...]</i>
If you look at the object LGORT in the dictionary (use
the transaction code SE11, data type display), you'll
see there's a <b>structure</b> with name LGORT, as
well as a <b>domain</b>. Can you check what is the
<b>data type</b> of the field LGORT you've
appended to the extract structure MC11VA0HDR?

well as a <b>domain</b>. Can you check what is the

<b>data type</b> of the field LGORT you've
appended to the extract structure MC11VA0HDR?
Probably you're not referencing the domain, but the
structure.

Hi david ,
You are right , for MATNR i used MATNR (Data Elemet is correct ) , But for
LGORT
i used LGORT ( It is a structure ) But i should have used data element name
LGORT_D .
That is the problem . Now how to change that LGORT TO LGORT_D.
Thanks & Regards

Hello,
I'm glad you could figure out the problem. Now
you should delete the LGORT entry from the
append structure. Then you can add the
component LGORT again, specifying the
component type LGORT_D.

At present some error is showing in point assignment ,will assign when that is
cleared .
One more question .
I need meaning of enhancement ?
LGORT , MATNR are standard fields , i am nowincluding that in standard extract
structure , Can i call this as enhancement or
If i use my Z***** own field in extract structure, then that is called enhanceent
What is true ? .

As in both cases you need some logic to

populate the added fields, they are both
examples of enhancement. You enhance an
extract structure whenever you add some field
which the extract structure doesn't originally
deliver.
Remeber that it's not enough to add the fields
to the structure. You need also to populate
them. Refer to this <a href="/people
/sap.user72/blog/2005/02/14/logistic-cockpit-when-you-need-more--first-option-enhanceit">weblog</a> by Roberto Negro to learn
more about enhancement.

Hi david ,
So Not only adding User defined Z***** fields to extract structure , Adding SAP
defined standard fields is also enhancements. Both are enhancements Right .
Now What is the steps to be done to get the MATNR , LGORT data into the
extract structure .

First of all you need to create an

<b>enhancement project</b> with the help of
transaction CMOD. You can afterwards assign
the enhancement RSAP0001 (BW Data
Extraction: Customer Function Calls) to that
project.
The enhancement RSAP0001 has 4
<b>components</b>. The first one
(EXIT_SAPLRSAP_001) is involved in your
case. This function exit is called when the
<b>transactional</b> DataSources are
populated by the extractors.
Enter the function exit. You'll find a line of code
which includes ZXRSAU01. You need to
implement this include. Double click on that
line and create the include object. Inside the
case-block, add the following WHEN
instruction:

1. CASE I_DATASOURCE.
2.
WHEN '2LIS_11_VAHDR'.
3.
4. ENDCASE.

After the WHEN instruction, you need to code

in ABAP the business logic for extracting your
fields. Basically, you'll loop at the internal table
<b>C_T_DATA</b>, which contains the
standard fields delivered by the extractor, and
select the needed data from the database
tables involved.
Cheers, Davide

Hi david , I am posting my sample code , This is my first try ,Tell me where to

change .
<b>My Sample Code</b>
Data source name = 2LIS_11_VAHDR.
Extract Structure Name = MC11VA0HDR.
Field name = MATNR .
Table to be refered = MARA .
So my code .
Tables : Mara .
Data : L_S_VAHDR LIKE MC11VA0HDR
l_counter ,
l_tabix like sy-tabix .
Case I_source .
When '2LIS_11_VAHDR'.
Loop at C_T_DATA Into L_S_VAHDR .
L_TABIX = SY-TABIX .
Select Single * From MARA where MATNR = L_S_VAHDR-MATNR.
If sy-subrc = 0.
L_S_VAHDR-MATNR = MARA-MATNR.
Modify C_T_DATA FROM L_S_VAHDR INDEX L_TABIX.
Endif .
Endloop.
Endcase.

The code seems alright. Once you have

implemented the function exit, you can check it
using the transaction RSA3.

Check the authorizations assigned to the user
you're using to edit the code. Does it have a
developer role? You also need to register that
user as a developer in the SAP Service
Marketplace, in the area <i>Keys&Requests ->
SSCR Keys-> Registration</i>. You will likely
need the assistance of a Basis administrator.

You've always got to implement the
enhancement code in the developement
system and test it there. You can
subsequentely transport the changes in the
quality system and test the extraction
extensively. If these checks are succesfully,
you can afterwards transport the changes in

extensively. If these checks are succesfully,

you can afterwards transport the changes in
production.
Always use the Transport Management
System (TMS), never edit the code in quality
or in production. <b>Remember that
transporting extractor enhancements in
production needs particular care.</b> Refer to
the WebLog by Roberto Negro I posted in a
previous message of this thread.

Are you quite sure you have the right

authorizations? Does the system give any
error/warning message?
When a user has the right permissions and
her/his developer key has been registered in
the system, the procedure is pretty
straightforward. You simply enter the project
components in change mode and that's it.. If
you can't enter in change mode, it's most likely
some user authorization is missing.
