Scheduling Synchronization of Static Objects 

Use

Some objects for CATS notebook are static, that is, they are not subject to regular changes. You therefore do not need to include these objects in the synchronization after they have been synchronized once, unless you have changed the objects. Static objects include:

·        Message texts

·        User interface texts

·        HTML user documentation for the Time Sheet

·        Picklists

To include these objects in the synchronization only when they have been changed, you can store a change date in the CATS_MY_PUSH table for each of the objects. Each time data is synchronized, the system checks whether the date of the last synchronization is before the change date stored in the CATS_MY_PUSH table. If it is, this means that the offline versions of the objects are not current and so the system synchronizes them.

Objects in the CATS_MY_PUSH table are automatically transferred to CATS notebook during the first synchronization.

When changing entries in CATS_MY_PUSH table, you should limit changes to date and clock time fields only. This is with exception to customer-specific input help, which requires you make additional entries in the CATS_MY_PUSH table.

Procedure

To enter a change date for static objects, proceed as follows:

...

       1.      From the SAP Easy Access screen in SAP R/3, choose: System à Services à Table maintenance à Extended table maintenance.

       2.      Enter the table name CATS_MY_PUSH.

       3.      Choose  Maintain.

       4.      Enter the change date for the required entry.

 
If, in exceptional cases, you want to synchronize static objects more than once daily, you can also store a change time for each entry in the CATS_MY_PUSH table.

If you want to an object to be included in every synchronization (for example, picklists), enter the date 12.31.9999.

       5.      Save your entries.

 

You have changed message texts for CATS notebook and you want to transfer them to users’ notebooks during the next synchronization.

...

       1.      Enter the change date in the CATS_MY_PUSH table for the MESSAGES entry.

       2.      Save your entries.

During the next synchronization, the system transfers the message texts to all notebooks whose last synchronization date is before the change date that you have stored in the CATS_MY_PUSH table.
