Weekly rolling of Variant

[Former Member]

Hi

We are currently using customized table to roll variants date weekly (Cant use dynamic values as it is per date and we need weekly change).

Problem with this method is, if someone changes variant w/o clearing variant dates then rolling fails as variant is not able to pick the values from table and date range never gets updated.

Is there any know solution for this issue or can we use user exit to clear out date before variant is saved ?

Thanking You,

Hi Ratnakar,

Table TVARVC will helpful fo the rolling variant. It is only used for date range.

1. First created a variant in TVARVC with date range which variant is used in your program.

2. Create same variant for the program. When save the variant, in the variant attribute you can see the "Selection variable" option.

In that select "T" and in the "Name of the variable" select the variant from the TVARVC Table.

3. Create a custom program to modify the rolling period to update in the TVARVC table and schedule it as background job.

This program will change the variant period whenever the period changes.

Even you have the custom table it wouldn't helpful to keep the data range the table. However TVARVC variant will change the period automatically whenever the program variant used even some clear the period values.

Hi Ratnakar,

You can also lock the input parameters when saving a variant. In this process you will have lesser chance of manual error. If I have not understood your requirement correctly, kindly elaborate.
