Create Maintenance ObjectsLocate this document in the navigation structure

Prerequisites

You have opened an IMG structure in change mode and created an IMG activity.

Context

You can go from an IMG activity to a customizing transaction via the maintenance object. A maintenance object is defined by the associated customizing object, a transaction and its transaction type. Customizing objects are managed in the table OBJH, which also contains their attributes. If the maintenance object is defined as a Business Add-In, the customer can link to a program enhancement (user exit) at this point in the IMG.

Procedure


  1. Choose the Maintenance Objects tab in the Assigned Objects group box.

  2. If you want to create a new maintenance object, enter an object ID and name.

    To use an existing maintenance object, choose the Assign Other Maintenance Object (first symbol to the right of the ID field). For further information about using the same maintenance object for several activities, see Reusing Objects.

  3. Flag the maintenance object as a Customizing Object under Maintenance Object type.

  4. Enter a customizing object under Assigned objects.

    You can search for customizing objects with the F4 key.

  5. Enter the customizing object type.

    This information is in the table OBJH which you can display in the transaction SOBJ.

  6. Enter the customizing settings transaction code.

    If the customizing object is a view, enter the View maintenance transaction code SM30 here, if it is a View cluster, enter the View cluster maintenance transaction code SM34. Avoid using individual transactions if possible.

  7. Save your entries with the Save Maintenance Object pushbutton at the bottom of the Maintenance Objects tab.

  8. Save the IMG activity with Start of the navigation path IMG Activity Next navigation step Save End of the navigation path.
