IPC - Download of custom (Z) tables from R/3

[Former Member]

we are using IPC for ISA R/3 enterprise (NO CRM involved - only R/3 ECC 5.0). Some of the ABAP pricing userexists (VOFM) on r/3 read user-defined (Z) tables. Hence these will be required in corresponding java user-exist on IPC-side.

1.How to replicate/download these Z-tables into IPC? Is there any step-by-step instructions somewhere in help.sap.com? How do we create the table definitions? manually in sql server ?

2. Can the data be downloaded via IPC dataloader? If so, is "delta-mode" possible for Z-tables?

Hello Janet,

I know this is a very late reply, hope you're already found the solution through other means. Z* tables can be downloaded into the IPC database using the standard IPC dataloader, with the following conditions:

1. You must create the Z* table schema in the IPC DB manually. Other option is to include the corresponding CREATE TABLE Z*... statement in the sce.sql script in the ipc\lib\scripts directory and use IPC administrator to create the schema.

2. You will have to run the dataloader in a debugging mode (add "-debugMode true" to the end of the line in dataloaderAdmin.bat)

3. Step 2 will enable you to download custom tables - by specifying a user defined list in customizing.txt file.

You are much more likely to find answers to IPC / VC questions at the Configuration Workgroup portal at http://www.configuration-workgroup.com. CWG is a quickly growing group of SAP professionals using variant configuration and IPC. Registration is free for all SAP customers & partners.

Hope this helps,

Daniel
