USE:
Join tables are used to configure SQL join conditions in order to filter the selected data, for the current step table configuration. You can still validate the table entries of the join table, but it must be declared in a parent step or a proper predefined database view should be used in the current step instead of the database table. The joined table might be also used for selection criteria as well as for additional fields to compare.
PROCEDURE:
- Select the Step and table that you would like to add join condition
- Double click on Join Tables
- Add table name, save and mark added row
- Double click on Join Conditions
- Add the fields from initial and joined tables
EXAMPLE:
In the step there is VBAK table and we would like to join it with VBKD table to read filtered data.
Sample configuration for joining sales order item with Sales order Business Data:
Screen 1:
Table Name |
|---|
| VBKD |
Screen 2:
Field Name | Join Field Name |
|---|---|
| VBELN | VBELN |
Above will generate following SQL statement:
SELECT (VBAK fields) FROM VBAK JOIN VBKD ON VBAK~VBELN = VBKD~VBELN
