01 UI Dialog

This process pattern is used by the system for user-agent change request steps and should not be entered by you in the Non-User Agent Decision Table. It is a special process pattern that is always automatically selected if a user agent has been found in the user agent decision table. This process pattern uses the dialog task Dialog Processing TS60807954.

02 Call Synchronous Method

You can use this process pattern to include operations that are not provided from SAP. This process pattern uses the background task Synch. System Method TS60807949. For more information, see BAdI: Calling of System Method for Rule-Based Workflow in MDG Customizing under  General Settings Process Modeling Workflow Rule-Based Workflow Business Add-Ins .

03 Call Sub-Workflow

You can use this process pattern to start a sub-workflow. The background task Subworkflow for Single Step Workflow TS60807994 starts a sub-workflow with the workflow template ID that is read from the column Service Name of the non-user agent decision table.

04 Call Data Replication

You can use this process pattern to start the replication of the master data after the change request has been activated. This process pattern uses the background task Change Request Replication TS60807976 and the method DISTRIBUTE of the object type MDG Change Request BUS2250 to replicate the object using the data replication framework (DRF).

05 Activation (do not bypass snapshot)

You can use this process pattern to activate the data in the change request. This process pattern uses the background task Activate Change Request TS60808002 with the indicator IGNORE_SNAPSHOT_DIFF not set. The value of Previous Action is updated with the result of the operation enabling you to handle error situations. If there have been conflicting changes to the data in the standard master data tables while the change request was in process the activation fails. In this case, Previous Action is set to 33 Activation failed for Snapshot. If the activation was successful Previous Action is set to 31 Activation Successful. In all other cases, Previous Action is set to 32 Activation failed.

06 Activation (bypass snapshot)

You can use this process pattern to activate the data in the change request, even if the data has been changed in the backend since the change request was created. The system ignores these potential changes and overwrites them. This process pattern uses the background task Activate Change Request TS60808002 with the indicator IGNORE_SNAPSHOT_DIFF set.

07 Validate Change Request

You can use this process pattern to validate the change request data. The results are written to the application log. The process pattern uses the background task Check Change Request TS75707952.

08 Roll Back Change Request

You can use this process pattern to remove the inactive data of the change request from the staging area if the change request should not be activated. This process pattern also provides the information when and by whom the change request was released and sets the change request status to 06 Final Check Rejected. The process pattern uses the background task Discard Change Request TS75707936.

98 Error

You can use this process pattern to handle errors and exceptions. The process pattern uses the background task Error Handler TS60807951.

99 Complete (Sub-)Workflow

You can use this process pattern to end the rule-based workflow instead of looping back.
