EMIGALL ISU_S_PROFHEAD_CHANGE

[daniel_mccollum]

Starting with Migration Object PROFHEAD as a baseline, I am attempting to create a custom migration object to update existing Profile headers.

The goal is to update the Consistency check group applied to n Profile Headers.

The only 2 fields generated are Profile & Conschckgrp

I cant get the import parameter to use AUTO, as when I do...

No profile number is passed from import values in test data & short dump occurs.

The exception, which is assigned to class 'CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEGAL_TYPE', was not caught and therefore caused a runtime error.

The reason for the exception is: The call to the function module "ISU_S_PROFHEAD_CHANGE" is incorrect:

The function module interface allows you to specify only fields of a particular type under "X_PROFILE". The field "AUTO" specified here is a different field type

This is the config thus far.

I've tried a number of possibilities already IE EMG_PROFHEAD_INT with no success. So, any advice what to use in X_PROFILE to have it pass without error into the ISU_S_PROFHEAD_CHANGE function

As an alternative, I attempted to create a migration object from FM: ISU_DB_EPROFHEAD_UPDATE & this functions largely as expected apart from the need to fill every field in the structure to avoid updating NULL values into previously populated fields.

This stops the short dumps, but the AUTO-PROFILE is not populated with the test profile number.

Also, if I enter a valid Profile number in Debug, Im still prompted with additional fields needing to be passed IE Profile Description, then Division... very inconvenient.

My process to implement this ISU_S_PROFHEAD_CHANGE function as a BAPI has been

1.

2.

3.

4. after hitting yes, the create process short dumps.

So I obviously shouldn't have been using it in the 1st place. but whats life without a little challenge.

at this point I had cloned the SAP PROFHEAD Migration object & updated as follows.

the problem I have discovered is in the generated code.

There is no "Move-Corresponding" for the header data.

At this point I go back to the automation structure maintenance, & un-check the Customer structure field.

After saving & attempting to regenerate the migration object...

"PROFILE" is not a structure or internal table with header line.

So still not functional

Long Story short, I've created a MDT (MD Template Category: EDM_PROFHEAD) & used the wrapper function in EMIGALL. Much simpler, "Just Works" Only updates the required fields.

Regret not having thought of it sooner.
