Introduction to Tables to Ignore
Some SAP tables may contain sensitive information which you may not wish to show in LiveCompare results. LiveCompare provides support for this through the use of table to ignore associated with each RFC Destination. If an SAP table is included in an RFC Destination’s tables to ignore list, the table’s contents may not be retrieved from the RFC Destination, for example:
- The Quick Compare Wizard returns 0 rows for a Table Contents comparison if the table is to be ignored in each of the specified RFC Destinations, or a comparison status of ‘In1’ or ‘In2’ if the table is to be ignored in only one of the RFC Destinations.
- The Read SAP Table and Read SAP Table and Join actions report that a table is not found if it is in the tables to ignore list for the specified RFC Destination.
- The Retrieve Table Set action retrieves 0 rows for tables to ignore specified in its Table List property.
- The Compare Objects action reports a comparison status of Same, In or In2 for Table Contents (TABC) objects if the table is to be ignored in either of the specified RFC Destinations, however no table contents are actually compared
Tables to ignore are defined in Excel spreadsheets, which are uploaded to RFC Destinations using the ‘Upload’ button in each RFC Destination’s General tab. The tables to ignore list associated with an RFC Destination may be downloaded to an Excel spreadsheet using the ‘Download’ button in the RFC Destination’s General tab.
The Get Administration Objects action may be used to report on the tables to ignore for each of the defined RFC Destinations (independently of which projects they are in). This is done by setting the action’s Object Type property to ‘TablesToIgnore’.
Note that the HR Get Payroll Data action does not process tables to ignore.
