Introduction
In our organisation we were upgrading SAP and neded a quick way to associate various objects with their object type and description, however these were not obviously available via SQL, so a solution was required. The primary table for objects was TADIR, but this only contained a code for obect type, so the description had to be determined from elsewhere. Note: this was required for some quick analysis; for ABAP developers there are standard methods for obtaining descriptions.
1. Object type descriptions are not fully held in tables, some are hardcoded as text symbols.
2. Object descriptions are not stored centrally in a single table, but rather scattered throughout many tables.
Defining the solution
Obtaining Object Type Descriptions
To obtain a full list of object type descriptions I first went into SE11 and looked up table TADIR, then searched through to see if field OBJECT had a value range or value table defined against its domain. It did not. Next I looked to see if it had a search help defined against it. I thought if I pressed F4 against this field in SE16 that I could copy out the produced list of values, however the display restricted the list to an incomplete list of the first 500 values only. So I needed to find out where the search help was retrieving the values from. I drilled into the Search Help code and added some breakpoints for debugging, then went back into SE16 and pressed F4 again. Through debug I was able to find the function module SAPLTR_OBJECTS and the two forms involved
GET_LOGICAL_TYPES
GET_SYSTEM_TYPES
I identified Logical types as coming from tables OBJH and OBJT, so I could code these tables direct in SQL
System types were coming from text symbols, so could not be coded into SQL using tables.
I was able to export the table PT_SYSTYPE[] from within the debugger after it had been loaded in GET_SYSTEM_TYPES. I placed this in EXCEL where I could create a calculation to change the values into SQL Insert into statements, so I could then copy these statements into SQL.
I created a temporary table in SQL and loaded both sets of values into it, ready for use when joining to table TADIR.
Obtaining Object Descriptions
Object descriptions are not centrally located in a single table, as I would have liked, but are found in may tables across the database. The code below does not cover all object types and may not be 100% reliable for object descriptions. It is a best attempt based on my searching through SAP and the Internet for the correct tables to obtain the descriptions. I welcome any corrections and additions in your comments.
The solution I came up with
In the code below you need to change the word “catalog” to your catalog for temporary tables.
/*
First create a table to hold the object type descriptions for field OBJECT from table TADIR
*/
create local temporary table catalog.#object_types(pgmid VARCHAR(4), object_type varchar(4), description VARCHAR(255));
/*
Note: Object type descriptions are not fully held in tables, some are hardcoded.
To obtain the complete list one must open table TADIR in SE16 and do an F4 (Search
Help) on field Object, while in debugger.
There are two lists required to be combined.
- Logical Types
- System Types
Logical Types are extracted in function module SAPLTR_OBJECTS in form GET_LOGICAL_TYPES
They are stored in table st_logical_types. These types are taken from database tables
OBJH and OBJT.
System types are hard coded in function module SAPLTR_OBJECTS in form GET_SYSTEM_TYPES
These can be extracted by running the Search Help (F4) on column OBJECT of table TADIR
then placing a breakpoint at the end of form GET_SYSTEM_TYPES, then viewing and exporting
inernal table PT_SYSTYPE[]. Once in a spreadsheet a EXCEL calculation can be writen to
format insert statements as below. The following EXCEL calculation converts row 2 of the
exported table, and can be copied down for all rows.
