Use

In this Customizing step, you assign a function module to each customer-specific segment. You also define the sequence of the segments during the archive run.

Context Data Extractor provides a generic function module for selecting data from a database table. The generic function module can be used if all entries of the database table have to be archived and the table contains no fields (amounts) related to a currency type or unit. In any other cases, you have to implement specific function modules and assign them to the related segments.

During an archive run, Context Data Extractor archives the data in the sequence defined in this step and calls the corresponding function modules. The function modules contain the implementation of the database retrieve.

Requirements

Standard settings

The table contains customer-specific configuration only. You can view the process flow provided by SAP under Define Extraction Flow.

Activities

Add your customer-specific segments and define the sequence by entering a sequence number. By default, the system processes the segments delivered by SAP first and the customer-specific segments afterwards. But you can insert your own customer-specific segment in the sequence of the SAP process flow. To do so, enter the sequence number of the SAP flow definition in the Insert Number field.

If possible, use the generic function module of Context Data Extractor to retrieve data from the database. Otherwise, you have to implement customer-specific function modules. This should be necessary only in exceptional cases.
