SAP CFX_NODE_TREE Collaboration Folder: Node Table data and field list

CFX_NODE_TREE is a standard SAP Structure so does not store data like a database table does. It can be used to define the fields of other actual tables or to process "Collaboration Folder: Node" Information within sap ABAP programs.

This is done by declaring abap internal tables, work areas or database tables based on this Structure. These can then be used to store and process the required data appropriately.

i.e. DATA: wa_CFX_NODE_TREE TYPE CFX_NODE_TREE.

The CFX_NODE_TREE table consists of various fields, each holding specific information or linking keys about Collaboration Folder: Node data available in SAP. These include PARENT_ID (Character String for Collaboration Folders), LEFT_ID (Character String for Collaboration Folders), NAME (External Name of Object), DESCRIPTION (Object Short Text)...
