Problem linking Status Management to Custom Object in EH&S

Thu Sep 13 08:29:56 EDT 2007

Hi Jocelyn,

Yes, I've noticed how ugly the keys for these objects are.  I've no
problem instantiating the business object using the ugly key, and the
key for status management object IAL is the same (RECN + ACTN on table
CCIHT_IAL) but the status management still raises the event with all
zeroes.  

So I am looking into the change docs... problem is no change doc is
written when the status is changed.  

Ah well, back to the drawing board.

Thanks!
Sue

Hi Sue, 

I've attempted it ... but the problem with EH&S is their key is a
hideous little internal id number - plus the object number is held as a
field on the relevant EH&S table. 

You need to do some conversion between the object number used for status
management on the EH&S table and the key of the relevant EH&S table....
icky!  

I think I ended up using change documents - I still had to do the
conversion but at least they allow for routines to do this in SWED and
SWEC.

Okay, well this was an oldie (but a goodie, since I am encountering this
now)...
A talented person once wrote:

'A temporary and very unofficial workaround if you really need to get on
with things while OSS get back to you: 
Check the contents of the Appropriation Request table - it contains the
two id fields used by the two objects. *IF* they have the same contents,
go to the BSVX input screen, enter IQ0/BUS2204 debug with /h, hit save
and bypass the check - not too hard to debug, it pokes around the object
definitions and data dictionary and compares the data types I think,
just change sy-subrc back to 0. It will save and work as long as both ID
fields contain the same data. Shout if you get stuck, I've done it
before (as if you couldn't tell, but with different objects) and can
find the exact spot again quite quickly if you need.'

So, while I have been able to get the linkage from my object (for
inspections) to the status object IAL, and save it, and the event even
gets triggered, the key value in here is all 0. 

Has anyone successfully (and unhackfully?) raised an event on an EH&S
object via status management ?  if so, can you please share some tips ?

Hi Partha,
Sorry misunderstood you.  Check your custom object implements interface
IFSTATUS.
If you still have problems run function module
BSVW_OBTYP_BOROT_COMPATIBILITY in test mode
and see what error it is giving you between the status object type and
the business object type.

Hi Jocelyn,

There is no SAP delivered object in this area.  Hence there is no
delegation possibilities.  IAL is an object type in the status mgmt area
but there is no related business object in SAP.

Best regards,
Partha

Partha,
Is your custom object a ** delegated ** subjobject type of the IAL
object?
Use the standard object type IAL to create your event entries, and
delegation will pick up
your custom events/attributes.

Subject: Problem linking Status Management to Custom Object due to Key
Field incompatibility

Hi All,

I am trying to use status management with EH&S to create a custom object
and workflow.  There is an object type delivered by SAP called 'IAL' for
Incident/Accident log.  In table TBO00 this object type has key fields
of CCIHT_IAL-RECN and CCIHT-ACTN.  I created my custom object with the
same key fields.

When I try to link the object type IAL with my custom object that has
the same key fields in Status Management (t-code 'BSVX') I get the error
'Status object and business object type incompatible'.  This is clearly
not true.  Any ideas on how to resolve the problem?  There are 2 related
OSS Notes 86020 and 44544 but they are for much earlier releases than
the version we are on (4.7 Enterprise).

Best regards
Partha Chatterjee
