Status Handling

In the SAP Application Interface Framework, handling of statuses (for example, in development, test, productive, obsolete) is available for interfaces.

Integration

You can make settings for status handling in Customizing for SAP Application Interface Framework (transaction code /AIF/CUST) under Start of the navigation path Interface Development Next navigation step Define Interfaces End of the navigation path .

Features

The interface status and end date are checked and, if the interface in status handling is client dependent, are compared with the system role in Client Administration.

In Customizing for SAP Application Interface Framework under Define Interfaces, you can do the following:

Enter the status
For example, Test or Obsolete
Enter the end date
Select the Automatic Client Control checkbox
Indicates that status handling is client role dependent

Note Note

In order to set up a client dependent interface, you have to maintain the system role in Client Administration (transaction code SCC4).

End of the note.

Example

The status of the interface is Obsolete, the end date is later than the current date, and all system roles are valid
You receive a warning message that the interface is obsolete and that it is only valid until the end date is reached.
The status of the interface is Obsolete, the end date is earlier than the current date, and all system roles are valid
You receive an error message and the processing of the current message is stopped.
