Documentation
Definition
Specifies the reuse active area for active data. The system is establishing the communication between Master Data Governance (MDG) and the tables that you can reuse for the active data, using an ABAP class and the ABAP interface IF_USMD_PP_ACCESS.
Use
If you enter a reuse active area, then the system stores active data solely in this reuse active area. Active data from hierarchies is always stored in the MDG-specific active area.
You can assign a reuse active area in the following places in the data model:
- At the level of the data model itself
In the standard system, when you create a new data model, no (" ") reuse active area is assigned. If you assign a reuse active area here, it applies to all entity types of storage and use types 1, 2 and 4, provided you do not assign any other reuse active area at the level of the entity types.
- At the level of the entity types
As a default setting, the assignment from the level of the data model also applies for all entity types of this data model. There is then no entry (" ") in the Active Area field. You can assign a reuse active area for entity types with the storage and use types 1, 2, and 4. This overrides the inherited assignment from the data model.
If a reuse active area is assigned to the data model, then you can assign the reuse active area MDG to an entity type, so that you can store active data - differing from the data model - solely in an MDG-specific active area.
If you want to create your own reuse active area, you have to use one of the ABAP classes provided by SAP for this.
Dependencies
If you use an entity type of the storage and use type 1 without a reuse active area, then none of the dependent entity types of storage and use type 4 can use a reuse active area for active data.
Example
You assign a reuse active area on the data model level. To prevent the system from using any reuse active area for a certain entity type, assign the reuse active area MDG at the level of the entity type.
