Background documentationObject Category Settings for ILM Objects

 

The object category of the ILM objects contains settings that are available for all related ILM objects.

Note Note

The settings of the object categories delivered by SAP are predefined and cannot be changed.

End of the note.

Structure

If you select one of the object categories delivered by SAP, you can see the following settings:

Mandatory Condition Fields

The condition fields are automatically available in the table of ILM rules for all ILM objects of the object category, for example, the system ID and client of the SAP system.

A mandatory condition field is defined by the following data:

  • Position of the field

    Determines the sequence of the condition field (from left to right) in the table of ILM rules, as well as the structure of the storage hierarchies (paths to the resource URIs in the ILM store).

  • Data element

  • Data type

  • Description (for internal SAP use only)

  • Name of the mandatory condition field

Standard Condition Fields

Standard condition fields permit a standardized logic of the value determination, which can make sense for multiple ILM objects. The Business Add-In Standard Condition Fields: Value Determination (BADI_IRM_OC_SF) contains this logic. The implementation of this BAdI is predefined by SAP and cannot be changed. The BAdI does not have to be re-implemented for each ILM object.

Standard condition fields can be selected for all ILM objects in the object category as available condition fields. For more information, see: General Settings for ILM Objects

In Customizing, the following data defines a standard condition field:

  • Name of the standard condition field

  • Data element

  • Data type

  • Description (for internal SAP use only)

  • F4 Structure

  • F4 Structure component

  • No intervals

Example Example

You use the standard condition field BS_COUNTRY_OF_BUKRS to derive the country of ILM objects that contain company code data from the company code. This means you can specify the country you have derived from the company code as a condition in the ILM rules and then map country-specific legal requirements. During rule evaluation, the system includes only those ILM rules valid for that particular country for each instance of the ILM object.

End of the example.
