SAP ME POD: LOG_TOOL without TOOL_LIST_DISPLAY

[Former Member]

Hi All,

did anybody manage to skip the TOOL_LIST_DISPLAY activity in the POD when trying to LOG_TOOL? In my scenario, I have allways only one Tool Group, therefore selecting a Tool Group prior to select the concrete tool does not make any sence and is a lilltle bit anoying for the operator.

But I guess there is no workaroound, since LOG_TOOL needs a Tool Group. But maybe there is...

Hi Andrej,

The system desing expects LOG_TOOL to be used in conjunction with TOOL_LIST_DISPLAY.

However, even though DC_LIST_DISPLAY and DC500 are also tied up together, DC500 can be used without DC_LIST_DISPLAY.

So, you'd simply run some test with LOG_TOOL - maybe it will work.

Hi Sergiy,

thank you for your reply. I think that LOG_TOOL could be used without TOOL_LIST_DISPLAY, but for some reasons it does not work. The activity apears without any selection items, only with disabled buttons - it seems like the dependancy on Tool Group is hardcoded here.

Because of DC500, I also tough that it would work for LOG_TOOL too, as this is a similar use case from the viewpoint of the DB model.

But according to my tests it does not.

Then this should be brought to consideration of SAP ME Product Owners for final decision whether it is a bug or not. The feature of DC500 to be able to work standalone might be preserved for backward compatibility. But LOG_TOOL appeared in later releases and thus might have a different design.
