Hi Eddie,
Thank you very much. You are right on with your analysis. Our 700 system
does not yet have the corrective SAP Note.
Your referenced SAP Note 1376011 resolves the issue and gives us the
answer. No need for a message with SAP.
This behaviour is SAP standard behaviour (Cannot Manually
Activate/Deactivate WF Event Linkage in Non Modifiable System).
As Mike and I surmised, the behaviour in our 700 system is a loophole that
was closed with SAP Note 1376011.
Thank you to all.

Hi Sheldon,
Note 1376011 was created to prevent the event linkage being activated in a
locked system. I guess this is not yet in your 700 system (Correction comes
with support pack SAPKB70021) but is in your 702 system (Correction comes
with support pack SAPKB70202).
Regards,
Eddie

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?
