Planning area lock Program

[Former Member]

Hi All,

We have to implement and i Need help for below:

Program has to be developed to lock the users to enter in to the planning book.

1. A program ZPLANNINGAREA_LOCK has to be developed to lock planning area based on the user groups, planning area and time. These checking will be done based on the Z – table ZPA_LOCK.
Z table will have the fields as below:
Client
Planning area
User groups
Timing
Program will be triggered based on the selection variant maintained.
To maintain the selection variant selection screen has to be created with fields
• Planning area
• User Group

This program will be included in the respective process chains to run automatically.

2. The second part of this program when executed with option Unlock users on selection screen, all the user groups will get unlock.

Thanks and Regards,

Hello Ankit,

Kindly refer this old thread. There are multiple replies by me on this exact requirement.  You need to work with ABAP'er to get this done. Hopefully this will help achieve.

Please let me know if you still have any queries.

Thank you

Ankit,

It seems odd to me that you would want to lock a planning area.  Once the PA is locked, there is not much any user can do, including batch users or background processes.

I don't know the business requirements of your request.  Preventing users users from entering a planning book may not actually achieve your goals; there are other ways to access and modify a planning area other than entering a planning book.

Hi DB,

Recently we are facing lot of background job failures due to userlocks, so i thought to add one program before background job start so that it will kick out all user from planning book or change to display mode then after job completion again run other program to unlock.
