Don't use SM30 do it in PFCG.

Take John's advice, don't try to update the table directly.

If you must do updates at table level then work with a developer to use some of the SAP Standard FM's to make the update based on data you input in flat file format.

Edited to add: this is not foolproof and can very easily cause more problems than it fixes too....

Why do you want to update Table directly? Do you follow this in all cases? Please do not update tables in any case unless it is the only option (in some Custom Tcodes which are parametrized form of SM30).

Use PFCG -> Authorization Tab -> Change authorization Data (use "Expert Mode" if any changes have been performed in Role menu) -> Organization Levels (or press Ctl + F8).

Also do not change Organization Level field from Authorization Fields under Authorization nodes. These processes are very common to SAP Security administrators ad from your explanation what you are trying to do, it's evident that you are not familiar with these. So take help of some Security consultant for this activity.

That's not where they should be. For each org level AGR_1251 holds the variable name. The actual values are in AGR_1252. Knowledge you needn't have if you use the designated tooling.....

It is a sandbox, so no harm done to update the wrong table if it has nothing to do (yet) with a productive landscape...

There have been many discussions about this in the ABAP forums. Take a look in the ABAP Data Dictionary Sticky thread for some examples.

And how many times to things "discovered" in the sandbox make it into the production landscape..........

I suspect they call them sandboxes because they look innocent but you'll carry their contents in every nook and cranny for ages

Hello,

he is trying ti update table directly using SM30,its taking him to SE54 because table maintainance is not generated, once you genrate in SE54,after that you can edit table in SM30.

Thanks,

Please explain why you just repeated your previous answer.

Hi Prashant,

I know what the user is trying to do, however for various reasons I think it is a very bad idea!

This is one of the cases where if it was designed to be maintained manually then SAP would have delivered a maintainance interface for it.

OK,

first why you need to update table directly?

Bcoz, when you update it from PFCG it will get papulated with the respective information.

Its taking you to SE54 boz,table maintainance is not genrated for the same,once its genrated then only you can edit the table

Thanks,

Prasant
