Definition

The name of a table with application-specific data is entered in this column (meta data table).

Application development must create this table in the data dictionary during the registration of an application for the digital signature. The MANDT and SIGN_ID fields must be contained as key fields at the beginning of the table. All application-specific fields that uniquely identify an object in the system, are stored in this table. It can be used only for the digital signature.

The top rows and the first 3 columns in the table must appear as follows:

Field name    |    Key    |    Data element

MANDT    |    x    |    MANDT

SIGN_ID    |    x    |    SIGN_GUID_22

You use this table to read signature data according to application-specific information and to display the data in the application or in the digital signature log.

Activities

  1. Start the table maintenance and check if the first rows of the application-specific meta data table have been created by the application as specified above. If not, correct the table accordingly.
  2. Enter the name of the meta data table in the Meta Tab. column in table view SIGNOBJECT_V.
