Definition
This indicator specifies whether it is possible to display/maintain a table or view using the maintenance tools Data Browser (transaction SE16) and table view maintenance (transactions SM30 and SM31).
The indicator can be set for database views, projection views, maintenance views, mantenance view variants, and tables (referred to as Dictionary objects' below) using transaction SE11.
Note: The indicator is not available for help views since they are not relevant to SE54 and are used for search functions.
Usage
The indicator can have the following values:
- Display/maintenance not allowed
The usage of standard table maintenance tools is not allowed.
- Maintenance and display of this Dictionary object is not possible in transaction SE16.
- Transaction SE54 does not allow the generation of a maintenance dialog, which means automatically that calling transactions SM30/SM34 for this Dictionary object is no longer possible.
- Display/maintenance allowed to limited extent
Usage of standard table maintenance tools is allowed to a limited extent:
- Transaction SE16 allows the display function for this Dictionary object, but no maintenance.
- Generation of a maintenance dialog for this Dictionary object is possible using transaction SE54.
- Transaction SM30 does not allow maintenance and display functions for this Dictionary object
Note: The generated dialog can be included in view clusters (data maintenance through transaction SM34) or called within a program through the function module View_Maintenance_Call. - Display/maintenance allowed
The usage of standard table maintenance tools is allowed:
- Transaction SE16 allows the maintenance and display functions for this Dictionary object.
Note: If an SM30 maintenance dialog exists for this Dictionary object,
it is called. - Transaction SE54 allows the generation of a maintenance dialog for this Dictionary object.
- Transaction SM30 allows the display and maintenance functions for this Dictionary object.
Note: The generated dialog can be included in view clusters (data maintenance through transaction SM34) or called through the function module View_Maintenance_Call in the same way as the transaction call SM30.
Comment
Only the last two options are offered for maintenance views and maintenance view variants. 'Display/maintenance not allowed' does not apply since maintenance views and maintenance view variants serve exclusively to generate a user interface. This is rejected in the option 'Display/maintenance not allowed'.
When the standard maintenance tools are used, the system checks the corresponding authorizations of the user.
