  • Key Concepts: 
    Database rollback is a feature of the SAP ABAP Runtime Environment (BC-ABA) that allows users to undo changes made to the database. It is used to restore the database to its original state before any changes were made. This feature is especially useful when testing new programs or making changes to existing programs. 
    
    How to use it: 
    To use the database rollback feature, users must first enable it in the ABAP Runtime Environment. This can be done by selecting the “Enable Database Rollback” option in the ABAP Runtime Environment settings. Once enabled, users can then make changes to the database and if needed, rollback those changes by selecting the “Rollback Database” option in the ABAP Runtime Environment. 
    
    Tips & Tricks: 
    It is important to note that database rollback only works for changes made after it has been enabled. Therefore, it is important to enable it before making any changes to the database. Additionally, it is important to remember that database rollback does not undo any changes made outside of the ABAP Runtime Environment, such as manual data entry or changes made in other programs.
