Manually Activate/Deactivate WF Event Linkage in Non Modifiable System (e.g. Production) without a transport

Tue Sep 13 09:02:20 EDT 2011

Yes, I was thinking the same way.  Maybe the restriction in a Non
Modifiable client is the standard behaviour, and maybe it was a loophole
which was closed.  And I am thinking that the restriction might be a safer
solution, but you're right, only SAP knows.

So I will raise a message with SAP and let you know the response.

Thanks and have a nice day.

If you're going to log a call I'd be interested in the response. I've also
noticed this vary between clients. I thought it was a loophole which was
closed in some hotfix, but who knows?
