To construct a table set
This topic describes how you create and fill a table set that you can use to define a suitable table sharing configuration. You can subsequently implement this table sharing configuration by using table linking or data replication.
The construction of a table set is an iterative process. You start with a table set with a few tables based upon a functional sharing requirement. Then, you repeatedly verify the table set and add the tables that must be shared for technical reasons. For technical details, refer to the Reference Guide for Multicompany Structures.
Alternatively, you can import the current table linking situation into a table set, to identify or to diagnose problems. For more information, refer to To analyze the present table linking configuration.
Prerequisites
Before you define a table set, you must specify the relevant package combination(s) and companies. For more information, refer to To specify relevant package combinations and companies.
Procedure to construct a table set
To construct a table set:
- Start the Table Sets (tltsm1100m000) session.
- Click Table Sets (tltsm1100m009) session. Add a new table set. to start the
- Use the Table Sets by Package Combinations (tltsm1150m000) session to link the table set to a package combination. LN uses the link with the package combination to determine which references are active for this software version.
- Fill the table set with tables. In the
Table Sets (tltsm1100m009)
session, complete one or more of these steps:
- To add tables manually, on the menu, select . You can add tables individually or add entire modules, from which you can exclude specific tables.
- To copy tables from an existing table set, on the appropriate menu, select Predefined table sets. . For more information, refer to
- To add a range of tables or a range of modules, on the appropriate menu on the Tables by Table Set tab, select .
- To use the current table linking configuration (logical tables) as a starting point, on the appropriate menu on the Tables by Table Set tab, select .
- Click .
- Click Fast Verification check box in the Table Sharing Parameters (tltsm0100m000) session is selected, the Table Sharing Exceptions (tltsm2100m000) session is started automatically when you verify the table set). . (If the

You can respond to an identified exception in one of these ways:
. Check for exceptions with
status -
- Repeat previous steps until all remaining exceptions have the Accepted status.
- In the Table Sets (tltsm1100m009) session, set the Status field to Approved . (If you need to modify the table set later, you can change its status back to Draft ).
