SU21 change not visible in PFCG

[Former Member]

Hi Guru's,

Some time ago, I created a custom authorisation object. Now, I want to add an aditional value to ACTVT.

I did this with SU21. But when I add this custom object to my role in PFCG, the new value does not show.

Does anybody know what went wrong?

Much apprectiated!

Hi Luisella,

In which class you have create object ?

After creating the object in which t. code you have assigned that object (t. SU24) ?

Hi Ganesh,

Class is WF. I currently have not assigned it to any tcode. We use it to protect a workflow-form.

We have several of those: you need this particular object to be able to start certain requests via workflow. Works like a charm, usualy 🙂

Hi Ganesh,

Thank for your support. Unfortunately, I did not find an answer in these links. My problem is that I do not see my see my changes in SU21 reflected in PFCG selection options for the maintained custom object. Any other idea's still very much aprreciated.

Hi Varun,

A very nice article and also well known to me. I have used this on many occasions.

But here's the thing. I did al this some time ago and all was functioning well. Now I wanted to add an additonal value to ACTVT to my custom object. So I went back into SU21, added the relevant value and pressed save. My value is saved in SU21, but it just won't show up in PFCG. I even created a test role from scratch and added this custom object to this role. Still no luck. I can't figure out why...

Hi Luisella,

I don't know what the cause of this is but I have a couple of questions for you:

1. Were you prompted to save the change in a transport request after you had updated the activities?

2. Have you checked table TACTZ to see if the new activity value has been updated there?

Hi Will,

Thanks for you reply.

I was prompted to save the object as soon as I opened it. I was not prompted again after the actual save. I do have a dev key.

I checked table TACTZ and I see the added activity there. Are there any other tables I should check?

Hi Luisella,

This is only a suggestion, but have you released the request?

Personally I've found custom auth objects a complete pain to edit once they have been created initially, so I'm not at all sure what your problem is here.

No idea what just happend. ACTVT value just popped up in pfcg. Only 24 hrs after the change was made in SU21.  So, still no clue on what the issue was, but it is solved! Thanks all for suggestion!

Congrates L. Ten, finally it is resolved.

There is a hint at what can cause this here --> http://scn.sap.com/message/10567002#10567002

Table TOBJ is buffered --> SU21 updates the DB table --> PFCG only reads the table buffer.

In the night (probably earlier already) the buffers were synch'ed. This is also one of the reasons why developers regularly go for pub lunches between developing the DDIC model and the business application layer ...  😉
