Business Function That You Also Have to Activate |
Enterprise business function DFPS, Logistical Operational Support 3 (DFPS_OF_LOG) |
You can use this business function to distribute digital signatures between the ERP systems in your system landscape for the following objects of the areas Maintenance and Support for Flight Operations:
Log entry
Log notification
Order operation in logbook
Operations for a maintenance order (outside of the logbook)
If you activate this business function, you also have the option of distributing digital signatures for maintenance order operations (outside of the logbook) between an ERP system and SAP Mobile Defense & Security.
In the ERP system, digital signatures are created using the functions of the Security component (BC-SEC) of SAP NetWeaver.
The digital signatures are distributed between the ERP systems in distribution processes of the Defense Forces & Public Security component.
If you implement SAP Mobile Defense & Security you can sign operations for a maintenance order (outside of the logbook) on mobile devices and distribute this signature together with the relevant object to the ERP system. There, the system handles this signature in the same way as signatures that were created directly in the ERP system. The system distributes digital signatures for operations for a maintenance order in the back-end system to the mobile device. These operations are indicated appropriately and cannot be changed on the mobile device.

The following prerequisites must be fulfilled:
You operate the involved systems either all in Unicode mode or in non-Unicode mode with an identical character set.
Customizing, particularly for signature strategies, signatures, authorization groups, maintenance order applications, and logbook applications, is identical in the systems involved.
To avoid data inconsistencies, open signature processes (order operations in the logbook) must have been completed or terminated in all involved systems before this business function is activated.
In addition to other enhancements to the standard functions for the digital signature, the signature objects LBK_OPR and EAMDISOP are available for order operations inside and outside the logbook. These signature objects ensure that the keys of the signed documents remain the same after distribution to the target system.
To distribute the digital signatures between ERP systems, an additional FOX object for digital signatures and the required FOX relationships are available.
For more information about distributing digital signatures, see Distribution of Digital Signatures for Maintenance Objects.
