Determining Secondary Data with the EH&S Expert (SAP Library

Determining Secondary Data with the EH&S Expert

Use

Prerequisites

You have defined at least one set of rules and the corresponding mapping tables and registered both on the Expert server. For more information on registering, see the documentation in the IMG activity Set Up Windows Registry.

For further prerequisites see EH&S Expert.

Procedure

Start the EH&S Expert by calling the EhsExper.exe program with the parameter D<Name of EH&S Expert destination>.

Note

The Expert Server symbol that was created when the EH&S Expert was installed contains the correct link to this program with a corresponding parameter that you can adjust as required.

In the R/3 System, execute one of the following procedures to determine specifications for which you want to determine secondary data.

Searching Manually for Specifications

Executing Queries

Loading Sets of Hits

A set of specifications appears in the form of a hit list.

In the hit list, select the specifications you require and choose Utilities ® Secondary data ® Determination.

The Determine secondary data dialog box appears.

Choose the EH&S Expert user exit by double-clicking.

If you have set the parameter EXPERT_PARAMETER_CHANGE_MODE to S for the EH&S Expert user exit in Customizing for Product Safety, the SAP System displays the Determine secondary data dialog box in display mode when secondary data determination is started.

If you have set the parameter EXPERT_PARAMETER_CHANGE_MODE to E for the EH&S Expert user exit in Customizing for Product Safety, you can edit the environment parameters in the Determine secondary data dialog box when secondary data determination is started. The environment parameters set in Customizing are displayed as default values. Enter or change the environment parameters as required.

If you have set the parameter EXPERT_PARAMETER_CHANGE_MODE to H for the EH&S Expert user exit in Customizing for Product Safety, the SAP System does not display the Determine secondary data dialog box when secondary data determination is started.

If you have not defined the parameter EXPERT_PARAMETER_CHANGE_MODE for the EH&S Expert user exit in Customizing for Product Safety, the Expert: Parameter Entry for Data Determination dialog box appears in display mode.

If you have set the parameter EXPERT_PERFORM_DIFF_FLG to the indicator X for the EH&S Expert user exit in Customizing for Product Safety, a comparison of the initial values and results of the EH&S Expert run is displayed before the results are stored on the database (default = blank). To be able to use the parameter EXPERT_PERFORM_DIFF_FLG, the reference module C1R3_SUB_EXPERT_EVALUATE must be selected.

Result

Using the rules in the set of rules, the EH&S Expert determines data for the selected specifications and writes it to the database. When writing the data, the EH&S Expert uses the data you specified in the IMG activity Manage User Exits under the corresponding parameters for the EH&S Expert user exit for rating, validity area, data provider, and data origin, or the data changed manually in the Expert: Parameter Entry for Data Determination dialog box.

The save mode specified in Customizing or in this dialog box determines whether existing data records are overwritten, or whether new data records are just added. If the newly determined data is identical to the data determined at an earlier stage, the system does not delete or create data if save mode I is not set. For more information about the save mode, see the documentation for the IMG activity Extend Entry in Secondary Data Determination.

You can use and edit the data that was written to the database by the EH&S Expert in the same way as data entered manually.

Note

Here you should note that if during subsequent manual processing the data origin and data provider differ from the corresponding parameters of the EH&S Expert run, a new value assignment instance is created in a new EH&S Expert run – even if the values then match.
