Message text: Creation/deletion of records in table & checked
You have specified the field <ZH>KEY</> for table &V1&. This results in
the following "special treatment":
In event creation, the system checks for added or deleted fields in
table &V1&. When table records are added or deleted in the change
document, the keys of the table records created or deleted are logged,
not the individual fields.
Example:
If a plant segment is created for a material, a record is created for
table MARC in the change document.
If you specify <ZH>KEY</> as field name in the field restrictions for a
table name, you can define a concatenated key of this table as "new
value". Positions in the key can be masked with the character '*'.
The field restriction is fulfilled if a table record of this key is
logged.
Example:
If the event <ZH>MATERIAL PLANT_CREATED</> is to be created when a
material segment is added for plant 0099, the following entries are
required.
Change document object,,MATERIAL
Business object type,,MATERIAL
Event,,PLANT_CREATED
Trigger event upon Change Create Delete,,X
With:
Table,,MARC
Field name,,KEY
Old value ,,*
New value,,*********************0099
In the object reference with which the event is created, and which is
described as "new value", the fields MARC-MANDT (3 characters) and
MARC-MATNR (18 characters) are masked.
