U.24 - Impacted IDOCs
This workflow helps to identify where changes made to standard or custom IDOCs on your source SAP system may need to be applied to your target SAP release. This may be the case if SAP has made changes to the same IDOCs as part of the upgrade release.
IDOCs are made up of one or more segments, which are implemented as structures in SAP. The workflow finds standard and custom IDOCs on the source system, and compares their standard structures with the corresponding structures on the target system. The execution history for each IDOC.is obtained from the EDIDC table on the source SAP system.
The results are stored in two Table datasets named Impacted Customized IDOCs and Impacted Used Standard IDOCs. These tables provide data for the Integration and Testing Dashboard reports and Excel spreadsheets.
The Impacted Customized IDOCs table has the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| CIMTYP | IDOC extension. |
| IDOCTYP | IDOC type. |
| SEGTYP | IDOC segment type. |
| STATUS | The segment type’s comparison status on the source and target systems. |
The Impacted Used Standard IDOCs table has the following columns:
| Column | Description |
|---|---|
| IDOCTYP | IDOC type. |
| SEGTYP | IDOC segment type. |
| STATUS | The segment type’s comparison status on the source and target systems. |
Creating RFC Destinations
Before you begin, you will need to create RFC Destinations for the source and target SAP systems you wish to analyze.
Preparing the Workflow
To prepare the U.24 - Impacted IDOCs workflow, log in as a LiveCompare Editor and drag its workflow template from the Templates folder into your own workspace. Then modify the workflow as follows:
To specify the Source or As-Is system:
-
Select the System 1 parameter and choose ‘Edit RFC Destination’ from its context menu to display the RFC Destination dialog.
-
Select the RFC Destination for the Source or As-Is system, then click ‘Save’.
To specify the Target or To-Be system:
-
Select the System 2 parameter and choose ‘Edit RFC Destination’ from its context menu to display the RFC Destination dialog.
-
Select the RFC Destination for the Target or To-Be system, then click ‘Save’.
Save the workflow using the 'Save' toolbar button.
Running the Workflow
To run the U.24 - Impacted IDOCs workflow, click the 'Run' toolbar button, choose ‘Run Now’ from the diagram’s context menu, or press F5. The currently running workflow action is marked with an animated display. When the workflow execution has completed, select the Impacted Customized IDOCs or Impacted Used Standard IDOCs datasets and choose ‘View Details’ from their context menus to display the tables’ contents. These tables are returned to the Run Complete Analysis workflow, and provide data for the Integration and Testing Dashboard reports and Excel spreadsheets.
