Updating decision tables in Production

Hi experts,

What should be the setup if I need to have the BRFplus objects to be transportable from system to system, but to have certain decision tables allowed for update directly in production?

Many thanks,

Mario

Hi Mario,

for your requirement BRF+ offers support via Application Exits that you can specify on the application level (properties -> application exit class)

This class has to implement the interface IF_FDT_APPLICATION_SETTINGS.  Here you will find a method that allows you to deviate from the system settings for customizing objects.

In order that the method gets called you have to set the static attribute GV_GET_CHANGEABILITY that is part of the interface to true.

When doing so you should be aware that there is a risk when opening the changeability on the productive system as you will also transport changes onto production and overwrite changes that have not been synched with your development/customizing system.

Here DSM can bridge the gap

Well, above mentioned scenario without DSM is problematic because auf versioning - moreover you can fall back into Interpretation mode. You have to know exactly what you are doing otherwise problems will occur,

Thanks Christian, Tobias,

One more question, when the Storage Type is set to master data, is it possible to include manually the objects in a transport request? to be able to move the rules initially between the systems, and once they are in production continue with the relevant updates directly in production?

Regarding DSM, does it requires an additional license?

Many thanks!

Hi Mario,

Master data is not intended to be transported and to the best of my knowledge the only way to "transport" this type of data is via the XML import and export functionality that BRF+ offers.

DSM does indeed require additional lincence fee.

Hi Christian,

Can DSM run on a HANA appliance?

License depends on your contract - sometimes it is bundled and you may have it already - but ogten you have to pay.

Christian is right: Master Data applications can't be transported but generated. This is a reasonable approach when you have to be very flexible.

Yes, but usually it doesn't make sense. You use DSM as central development system and deploy your rules to any AS ABAP - with or without HANA. HANA rules can access any HANA - a remote system (think of BW on HANA) but also the System database running on HANA. I blogged recently about this.

Actually DSM comes with a separate license. There are solutions that bundle DSM to be used with that solution as predefined by the solution. If you want to use DSM to extend such a solution beyond the predefined scope, or if you want to use DSM with any other scenario, you still need a license. Then there are enterprise licenses that basically offer SAP-all-you-can-eat, and may include DSM as well, depending on your specific contract. If you have such an enterprise license you for sure are aware of.

On HANA integration: DSM offers HANA integration to some extend. Please refer to these two documents in SCN for more details:

- Dynamic Database View Capability of SAP NetWeav... | SCN

- Integrating HANA with SAP NetWeaver Decision Se... | SCN

Way more extensive HANA integration is to come. Stay tuned, and don't miss upcoming d-code where lot of information on this will be provided.
