Diff Between Elementary search helps & Collective search helps

1) Elementary search helps describe a search path. The elementary search help must definewhere the data of the hit list should be read from (selection method), how the exchange of valuesbetween the screen template and selection method is implemented (interface of the search help)and how the online input help should be defined (online behavior of the search help).

2) Collective search helps combine several elementary search helps. Collective search help thuscan offer several alternative search paths.

3) An elementary search help defines the standard flow of an input help.

4) A collective search help combines several elementary search helps. The user can thus chooseone of several alternative search paths with collective search help.

5) A collective search help comprises several elementary search helps. It combines all the searchpaths that are meaningful for a field.

6) Both elementary search helps and other search helps can be included in a collective searchhelp. If other collective search helps are contained in collective search help, they are expanded tothe level of the elementary search helps when the input help is called.

Creating a secondary index

By Neha Kapoor

There are two types of indexes: Primary index and secondary index. Primary index isautomatically created using the primary keys defined.

Secondary index could be created as per the user requirement. This article discusses aboutcreating a secondary index.

Go to transaction SE11.

For our demo purpose, we have considered the table ZAUTHOR.

To know if there are any secondary indexes available, click on Goto Indexes


49/56

Following popup appears:

From the above screenshot, it is evident that there are no secondary indexes already created.

Click on Create Create Index


50/56

Enter the name of the index.

Fill in the details Short description and the fields in the index.

Save and activate.

Now you can observe the index created above in the list now:

Maximum number of secondary indexes we can have are 9.

Secondary Indexes

by Suresh Kumar Parvathaneni

Consider the following example:

SELECT * FROM SPFLI%_HINTS ORACLE 'INDEX("SPFLI" "SPFLI~001")'

.......ENDSELECT.

In the above example, 001 is the secondary index of the table SPFLI. It's a well-known fact thatthe efficient way of retrieving data from the database tables is by using secondary indexes. Manydatabase vendors provide the optimizer hints for the same. From SAP v4.5, optimizer hints canbe provided by the %_HINTS parameter. This is dependent on the database systems that supportoptimizer hints. The point to be noted here is these optimizer hints are not standardized by theSQL standards. Each database vendor is free to provide the optimizer hints.Now to know which index to use for our table:1. Go to SE11 and there specify the table name

2. Now from the menu, goto --> indexes3. select the required index.

Now suppose that the identifier 001 represents a non-unique secondary index comprising of thecolumns CITYFROM and CITYTO. The index name should be defined as:

~like SPFLI~001 in the above example.


52/56

The sequence of fields in the WHERE condition is of no relevance in using this optimizers index.If you specify hints incorrectly, ABAPTM ignores them but doesn't return a syntax error or runtimeerror.The code was written in R/3 4.6C.

Code

Consider the following example:

REPORT Suresh_test.

TABLES: spfli.

DATA : t_spfli LIKE spfli OCCURS 0 WITH HEADER LINE.

SELECT * FROM spfliINTO TABLE t_spfli

%_HINTS ORACLE 'INDEX("SPFLI" "SPFLI~001")'.

LOOP AT t_spfli.

WRITE :/ t_spfli.

ENDLOOP.

Then Create. Save

Single step: Only overview screen is created i.e. the Table Maintenance Program will have onlyone screen where you can add, delete or edit records.

Two step: Two screens namely the overview screen and Single screen are created. The user cansee the key fields in the first screen and can further go on to edit further details.

You can now create TCode for the table maintenance generator. Enter the TCode to be createdand click on Create.
