4. Propose a Persistent structure name, the Root node name is auto filled with ROOT.
The Persistent Structure defines the attributes that are stored in the database.
The Transient Structure defines the attributes calculated at runtime.
Both structures are implemented as regular DDIC structures and are created in the DDIC transaction
SE11. You can simply double click the structure to proceed with the structure creation.
