Use
When using the standard attribute repository, you can use this Customizing activity to register database tables that are used for storing attribute values. You can also register Data Dictionary structures that are used to describe the attributes in an attribute model.
Four types of attribute can be used with the attribute repository:
- Single-value, language-independent attributes (abbreviated as LIS)
- Single-value, language-dependent attributes (abbreviated as LDS)
- Multi-value, language-independent attributes (abbreviated as LIM)
- Multi-value, language-dependent attributes (abbreviated as LDM)
Attributes that are to be assigned together to an object, such as a document, are stored together in an attribute set. An attribute set is identified by the SAP client and a unique attribute set ID. An attribute set can be used over several database tables. Information about which tables and structures are relevant for storage in the repository is presented in an attribute model. For this purpose, the following information is registered:
- Name of the database table in which the LIS attributes and the administration data are stored. The table must have the following structure
- Key fields:
- MANDT Data element MANDT
- REC_ID Data element SRMPROPRECID
- Include structure for the administration data SRM_PROP_PERS_ADMIN
- Include structure for the LIS attributes
- Optional: Name of the database table in which the LIS attributes are stored. The table must have the following structure
- Key fields:
- MANDT Data element MANDT
- REC_ID Data element SRMPROPRECID
- LANGU Data element LANGU
- Include structure for the LDS attributes
- Optional: Name of the database tables in which the LIM attributes are stored. The tables must each have the following structure:
- Key fields:
- MANDT Data element MANDT
- REC_ID Data element SRMPROPRECID
- SEQNO Data element INT4
- Include structure for the LIM attributes
- Optional: Name of the database tables in which the LIM attributes are stored. The tables must each have the following structure:
- Key fields:
- MANDT Data element MANDT
- REC_ID Data element SRMPROPRECID
- SEQNO Data element INT4
- LANGU Data element LANGU
- Include structure for the LDM attributes
Note: Create a table and a structure for each multi-value attribute that is independent of other attributes. If, on the other hand, the attributes are dependent on one another, put them together in a single table and structure.
Example of independent multi-value attributes: an attribute for "key words" is independent of an attribute for "people involved". For each attribute, create a structure with exactly one field and the associated database table.
Example of dependent multi-value attributes: when storing several addresses, the attributes "Street", "Number", "Postal Code" and "City" belong together. In this case, create a structure and a database table containing all attributes required for this address.
Requirements
You have already created an attribute model. You want to store attributes in the standard attribute repository.
Standard settings
Activities
Register all necessary tables and structures for an attribute model. Create these tables and structures in accordance with the conventions described above.
