View Reports - Result

The ‘Result’ page of a View report has the following structure:

Result

<Table 1>

<Table N>

Entities

T icon. Tables

The Result folder includes a Table object for each table view in the report. Each object has the name of the corresponding SAP table. If a table has more than one alias in the associated View Definition, the alias names are shown in square brackets.

Each table object is marked with an icon to indicate its comparison status:

Icon Description
Hierarchy Same icon. The table view is the same in each of the compared systems.
Hierarchy Different icon. The table view is different in each of the compared systems.
Hierarchy In 1 icon. The table view exists in the first compared system only.
Hierarchy In 2 icon. The table view exists in the second compared system only.
Hierarchy Not Compared icon. The table view was not compared.
Hierarchy Can’t Compare icon. The table view could not be compared because it is not maintainable with the SAP view maintenance transaction (SM30).

When a table object is selected, the View report displays a page showing the compared values in the table view. The display has column headings for each of the table fields compared, and two additional columns. The first column indicates the comparison status for each row, and the System column indicates the RFC Destination for each of the compared systems.

ID columns are marked with ‘*’ in the table display. If the table view includes columns from an additional table, these columns are marked with ‘+’.

The table display uses the following conventions:

  • If a row is shaded in cyan, the row data exists in the first compared system only. Its System ID is shown in the Sysid column, and the comparison status column contains Row In 1 icon..
  • If a row is shaded in pink, the row data exists in the second compared system only. Its System ID is shown in the Sysid column, and the comparison status column contains Row In 2 icon..
  • If a row is unshaded, the row data is the same in each of the compared systems. The Sysid and comparison status columns are left blank.
  • If the comparison status column contains Row Different icon., the row data is different in each of the compared systems. Field values are displayed from each of the compared systems. Values that are different are shown in red with a yellow background, values that are the same are shown in black with an unshaded background.

Green Rectangle icon. Entities

The Result folder includes a single Entities object which links each of the tables in the report according to the parent-child relationships specified in the View Definition. The Entities object is marked with an icon to indicate its overall comparison status.

When the Entities object is selected, the View report displays a page showing the rows compared in the parent table specified in the View Definition. Click an icon in the comparison status column to display the selected row from the parent table and any related rows from each of the child tables.
