To be able to define the distribution logic, you must first customize the Receiver Meta Model (RMM) to reflect the criteria fields you want to use in the rule definitions. Only then can you map the fields of the standard or subscription generation data objects to the RMM fields (device attribute mapping) when you define rules for the distribution logic.

Procedure

  1. Create a customizing group.

    More information: Customizing a Receiver Meta Model

  2. Add the following attributes (fields) to the receiver meta model configuration:

    Attribute Name

    Read Only

    Multi-Value

    Admin UI Display

    Data Element

    EMPLOYEE_ID

    X

    X

    CHAR10

    WORKCENTER_ID

    X

    CHAR5

    EQUIPMENT_TYPE

    X

    X

    CHAR5

    EQUIPMENT_BRAND

    X

    X

    CHAR5

    • In this tutorial, define the EMPLOYEE_ID attribute as read-only because it should be changed in the back end only, not in the Data Orchestration Engine (DOE).

    • Do not define the WORKCENTER_ID, EQUIPMENT_TYPE and EQUIPMENT_BRAND attributes as read-only because the administrator needs to change the value easily in the SAP NetWeaver Mobile Administrator. For example, when a service technician is assigned to another work center as a holiday replacement or gains an additional qualification, the administrator needs to make these changes quickly.

    • Define the EMPLOYEE_ID and WORKCENTER_ID attributes as single-value attributes because each device is assigned to one user only.

    • Define the EQUIPMENT_TYPE and EQUIPMENT_BRAND attributes because multi value attributes as the employee can be qualified to service several equipment types and brands. Activate the Admin UI Display indicator for all attributes because all this information is of interest for the administrator.

  3. If you want to enable mass creation of devices, define a data object association, mapping the attributes of the RMM Customizing group to those of the Employee data object (receiver generation data object) as follows:

    RMM Customizing Group

    Attribute Type

    Employee Data Object (RecGen)

    EMPLOYEE_ID

    Single valued

    EMPLOYEE_ID

    NAME (standard RMM attribute)

    Single valued

    NAME

    WORKCENTER_ID

    Single valued

    WORKCENTER_ID

    EQUIPMENT_TYPE

    Multi valued

    EQUIPMENT_TYPE

    EQUIPMENT_BRAND

    Multi valued

    EQUIPMENT_BRAND

  4. Save the receiver meta model.
