Migrating an Infotype

Use

You can use this process to trigger an automatic migration of an infotype, which creates a decoupling of a similar scope to when a new infotype is created.

Note Note

The infotype-specific input and processing logic must be decoupled manually. They are decoupled in the same way as the infotype-specific input and processing logic of a customer infotype.

For more information, see Business Logic Guidelines for Creating and Migrating Infotypes .

Features

The system creates the following objects and structures automatically:

Screen structure

The P structure fields are copied to the screen structure.

Table T588UICONVCLAS

The system creates the following entry for customer infotypes:

Assignment of screen structure to conversion class

SNAME	INFTY	STYPE	VERSIONID	CLSNAME
ZHCMT_BSP_PA_yy_R9nnn	9nnn	MAIN	yy	CL_HRPA_UI_CONVERT_BASIC

The system creates the following entry for standard infotypes:

Assignment of screen structure to conversion class

SNAME	INFTY	STYPE	VERSIONID	CLSNAME
HCMT_BSP_PA_yy_Rnnnn	nnnn	MAIN	yy	CL_HRPA_UI_CONVERT_BASIC

Check class CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_nnnn or ZCL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_9nnn for customer infotypes

The check class is generated in the background from the check class CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_NNNN. If you have already made modifications in the check class, the check class can not be overwritten by another migration. The criterion for a migration that has already taken place is the entry in table T582ITVCLAS.

Entry in table T582ITVCLAS

The system creates the following entry for customer infotypes:

Assignment of infotype to check class and container class

INFTY	IDCLASS	CONT_GUI	CONT_DB	NITF_ADM
9nnn	ZCL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_9nnn	’’	CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_CONTAINER	3

The system creates the following entry for standard infotypes:

Assignment of infotype to check class and container class

INFTY	IDCLASS	CONT_GUI	CONT_DB	NITF_ADM
nnnn	CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_nnnn	’’	CL_HRPA_INFOTYPE_CONTAINER	3

Note Note

The check class must be encoded manually. The system outputs a message to this effect.

The module pool, screen, and interfaces must be processed manually.
