Help with Subtype

[Dart, Jocelyn]

Hi Stephan,
Actually the new behaviour is included in 4.6C.
If you go to transaction SWO1, go into your object in change mode
you should find 2 menu paths for changing release status
 
Edit > Change release status > Object type ... changes the object type
overall
Edit > Change release status > Object type component ... changes
attributes/methods/events
 
I haven't had any problems with these functions - you might want to give
them a try.
Regards,
Jocelyn.

Thanks Raf/Stephen,
Yes I'd forgotten about that.  It's not a bug, it's just the way
it works in 4.0 and below, i.e. you change status of components of the
object
(attributes/methods/events) within the object, but to change
the status of the object you need to do that from the main business object
builder entry screen.   But you're right - it's annoying, and that's
why it was changed in later releases so you can do both from inside
your object.

Hi Brad,
 
I once had a similar problem in a 40B system, when I tried to change the
object type status when I was already in the object type.
 
For an unknown reason (bug??), the object type status could only be changed
in the initial SWO1 screen (so, start SWO1, fill the (sub)object type, but
do NOT press the change button, but search for the status change in the
menu).
 
Give it a try, will you?
 
Kind Regards,

Jocelyn,
There is already code behind the subtype - the generated code from the
initial creation of the subtype and then the code I added later for my
custom method.  Any other thoughts?

Hi Brad,
Modeled means there is no code implementation behind it yet.
Usually the code gets generated when you create the subtype
but I have seen this fail occasionally (a sequence of buttons pressed
thing..).
Go into your ZDRAW object in SWO1, press the "Program" button
and that should be enough to generate the missing code.
Save the code.
You should then be able to change the status to implemented
and generate your new object.
Once the object is in implemented status you can use it in tasks.
Regards,

I have created a new subtype ZDRAW of object type DRAW via SWO1.  I have
also done the system-wide delegation (object type = DRAW and delegation
type = ZDRAW) via SWO6.
 
1) In SWO1 when I look at the basic data of my subtype ZDRAW, the 3rd
object type status is "modeled".  When I look at two other existing
subtypes in our system, their 3rd object type status is "implemented".
If I select my new subtype ZDRAW and follow the menu path Edit => Change
status to => Implemented, I get the error message # OL613: Function
'change status' is not supported by the selected object 'ZDRAW'.  How do
I get my new subtype to "implemented"?  Check produces no errors and I
can generate successfully (1st and 2nd object type statuses are
"generated" and "Saved".
 
2) I'm guessing this is related to #1 above.  In PFTC I'm creating a new
customer task which references a subtype ZDRAW method.  Within the task
I'll put in object method DRAW but it doesn't recognize the method under
subtype ZDRAW - it only lists methods under supertype DRAW.
 
What am I missing?  I'm on 4.0b.
 
Thanks,
Brad
