Editing the standard SWCV provided by SAP

[Former Member]

Dear all,

i have configured end to end scenario (proxy-soap) ECC HCM-PI-SuccessFactors  using the standard ESR

content(SWCV : SFIHCM01) provided by SAP. Now i have a requirement to validate a incoming field and raise a

exception as per discussion

To do the custom requirement and validate a field using UDF

1) Should i edit the mapping logic in standard SWC componet or should i develop a new custom object

(product, swcv, creating dependencies, ESR design obects and ID config objects)

Note: Standard objects can be modified by selecting the object properties like Language : English &

Checking the checkbox : Objects are modifiable

2) Is it advisable to change/modify the standard content

Please provide your valuable inputs

Regards

Koti Reddy

Hello,

In addition, SAP may make changes to the standard SWCV in future SWCV Support Packs/patches e.g. additonal Service Interfaces or Mapping objects. If you need to import any of these, your own customizations may be overwritten. It could also cause versioning/conflict issues when you import the new patch.

Hi Koti,

its not recommended to Edit standard SWCV.

Few Reasons,

1) Will face issues in Upgrade.

2) Others cannot refer standard object @ laterstage.

etc

Its better to copy to customer objects & modify.

Hi Koti,

I agree with Hareesh to not edit standard object. adding to that

you should use custom SWC for the mapping and use the other object from existing standard SWC by applying the dependency.

Hi koti - It's not recommended to edit the standard content.

It's good to copy the objects into another SWCV and handle custom requirements like this.

Hi Koti - Even the documentation confirms the same thing -
