Derivative object maps are used by Get
SAP Objects actions to allow objects of the same type, but with different
names to be retrieved for comparison. This allows customized objects to
be compared with their standard SAP equivalents.
Derivative object maps are specified using
a Table parameter or dataset
with the following columns:
Column
Description
NAME1
The name of the object in the first system
to be compared. This system is specified in the RFC Destination1 property
of the Get SAP Objects action.
NAME2
The name of the object in the second system
to be compared. This system is specified in the RFC Destination2 property
of the Get SAP Objects action.
Object names should be specified using UPPER
CASE.
Some object names have two components, for example Data Source 7.0 (RSDS) objects have a Data Source and a Source System. To use these object names in a derivative object comparison, use a space to separate the component parts in the NAME1 and NAME2 fields, for example:
PLANDATALOAD3 SAP_DEMO
Example:
The following derivative object map allows
the transactions VA01 and ZVA01 to be compared.
NAME1
NAME2
TYPE
VA01
ZVA01
TCOD
At least one object from the derivative object
map should be specified in either the Objects, Selects or IMG Select
List parameter supplied to the Get SAP Objects action. If both objects
are specified, and they can each be retrieved from both compared systems,
the Hierarchy dataset that stores
the retrieval results includes the following objects:
<NAME1 in Sys1> (<NAME2
in Sys2>)
In the above example, transaction VA01 from
the first system is compared with transaction ZVA01 from the second system.
<NAME2 in Sys1> (<NAME1
in Sys2>)
In the above example, transaction ZVA01 from
the first system is compared with transaction VA01 from the second system.
<NAME1>
In the above example, transaction VA01 is compared
on each of the systems.
<NAME2>
In the above example, transaction ZVA01 is compared
on each of the systems.
Derivative object maps may be used to compare
two objects from the same system. However, in this case you should create
two separate RFC Destinations for the system and link these to the RFC
Destination1 and RFC Destination2 properties for the Get SAP Objects
action. If only one RFC Destination is used, the objects will be marked
as being the same in LiveCompare’s Tier1 comparison results.
