Title

BCALV_BDS_MAINTENANCE

Purpose

In the ALV environment, data can be displayed as an Excel inplace. SAP delivers two standard templates for this purpose.

If users want to create their own templates, they must link these to a layout. These saved layouts with the self-defined templates can be modified at any time because the system temporarily stores the templates linked to the layout in the database. You can use this report to delete these (temporary) templates. The report can be run in dialog or in batch mode.

You can also use this report to manage another category of templates called unreferenced templates. If a layout with the same name exists both in system A and in system B and the layout in system A has self-defined templates linked to it while the template in system B has not, unreferenced templates exist in system B when the layout is transported from system A to system B. These templates are unreferenced since they are no longer linked to a valid layout (because the layout in system B has adopted all attributes from system A).

In addition to self-defined (layout-specific) templates, administrators can also create client-wide templates. These templates are subject to the naming convention CUS_* and can also be saved to the R/3 database using this report. Client-wide templates are not linked to a layout and can therefore be used in any report. You must use this report to save templates of this kind to the database or to delete them. The ALV maintenance dialog allows you only to edit layout-specific templates. Besides this multilingual capacity, these templates can be transported across the entire R/3 system landscape with this report. To do this, you must create a Customizing request.

Integration

Prerequisites

Features

Selection

The selection screen provides the following options:

  • Display the templates
  • Delete the templates manually or in batch mode
  • Save new SAP standard templates and company-wide templates to the R/3 database or delete them

Standard Variants

The standard variants for the batch are:

  • DEL_OLD_ONES (deletes all unreferenced and temporary templates older than two days)
  • DEL_WITH_LIST (deletes all unreferenced and temporary templates older than two days, and creates a log of all templates deleted)

Output

Users can list all templates together with their attributes, and select and delete individual lines in display mode. A traffic light symbol is used as a control icon. Templates marked with a red traffic light cannot be deleted at all. Templates with a yellow light should only be deleted with caution because they may still be in use. Templates with a green traffic light can be removed immediately.

In upload mode, you can list, delete and save standard templates to the R/3 database. The system does not use any security mechanism here. When you save a template to the database, you must specify a language in which the template is to be created (if you do not specify a language, the system uses the system language).

When you run the delete mode, the system deletes the unreferenced and temporary templates (which are older than two days). This requires, however, that the corresponding checkbox has been selected.

The batch mode includes the same range of functions.

When you delete templates manually, the log creates the file 'maintenance_log.xls' in the directory 'c:\temp'. In batch mode, a list is stored in the spool.
