Dlver Sap Flight Data Model

The SAP Flight Data Model is a simplified flight booking system used for demonstration and training purposes in SAP systems. It includes tables for airlines, flight connections, schedules, and bookings. As a beginner, you can use transaction code SE11 to view the structure and data in these tables to learn about ABAP programming and practice writing ABAP programs using the sample flight data. The SAPBC_DATA_GENERATOR program can generate sample data for the tables if they are initially empty.

SAP Flight Data Model

SAP Flight Data Model is a simplified form of a flight booking system, which comes with
SAP system for demonstration purposes. This model is used to demonstrate many features
and the capabilities of ABAP programming language. For example, it is used in SAP Help
files, ABAP training classes and various online resources. The flight data model has a set of
relational database tables linked by Foreign key relationships.

A note for the people completely new to SAP ABAP – Just go through this once even if
you don’t understand it fully. Once you are familiar with some more features of ABAP
language, you will be able to understand everything here. For now, just focus on the
outline.

The flight data model has following tables in the SAP database:

 SCARR: Airline table listing various airlines


 SPFLI: Flight connection table with details of place of Departure and Destination
 SFLIGHT: Flight schedule
 SBOOK: Flight booking details

You can check these tables using transaction code SE11. If you are a beginner, here are the
steps (assuming that you have access to SAP system)

1. Type SE11 (Transaction code for ABAP data dictionary) in the command field (also
called input field) of SAP screen as below (If you find it difficult to see the details
in the below picture, you can click on it and it will be opened in full original size):
2. The following screen opens. You can enter the name of one of the Flight data model
table SCARR, say.

3. Click on display and the screen below with the details of the columns(Fields)
follows:

4. If you want to see the contents of this table, click on the icon looking like a table
structure, highlighted in the below picture with a red oval.
5. In the next screen, you can enter some criteria e.g Airline code, currency, etc. But
for the time being, leave everything blank as it is.

6. Click on the Execute button in the application toolbar highlighted with a red oval
below. By the way, the area (bar) which contains these buttons like Execute is
called the Application toolbar.
7. You can see the results (SCARR table entries) below. But if you are unable to see
any table entries and get the error message 'No table entries found for specified key',
it means the tables are empty and SAP flight data system doesn't contain data in
your system. Don't be discouraged if thats the case. SAP delivers them blank but
you can generate data as explained in the next step.

8. If the table above is blank, all other tables of the Flight data model must be blank
too. You can generate data in them by executing SAP provided standard program
SAPBC_DATA_GENERATOR. You can do so by using transaction code SE38
(ABAP Editor) in the command field. You will get a screen as below:
9. Enter the name of the program SAPBC_DATA_GENERATOR in the Program
field and click on execute button highlighted in red circle.

10. The next screen follows as below:


11. Don't change anything here and just click on Execute button in the Application
toolbar. The program will take some time to execute. Once it executes successfully,
you can check the contents of different tables by repeating the steps mentioned
above for SE11.

If you have executed the above steps correctly, SAP flight data model tables are filled with
data. This sample data can be used by your ABAP programs to output results for selected
criteria.

Moreover the knowledge of Flight data model will help you in understanding examples
used in SAP Help documentation and elsewhere. As a beginner, it's definitely helpful to
build and test ABAP programs with flight data model to understand programming concepts.
Enjoy !
