Create Templates
All templates must belong to a team. Refer to Create Teams for more information.
Template Types
- BDC and GUI script templates contain an SAP recording and can be reused for multiple requests. Scripts can either be recorded in SAP directly from Mass Maintenance or imported from Integrate. Refer to Create a GUI Script Template and Create a BDC Script Template for more information.
- Templates based on Integrate templates — Mass Maintenance templates can also work with BDC or GUI scripts with multiple loops enabled. Refer to Use Mass Maintenance with Integrate Looped Templates for more information.
- Custom templates Refer to Create a Custom Template for more information.
Advanced users access configuration settings to customize the template by adding the template on the Templates page. Refer to Create a Template for Advanced Users for more information.
The user who creates the template has access to all of the template roles and can add users to the template roles. Refer to Add Users to Templates for more information.
Once a template has been created and generated, a user can view all of the associated data objects Mass Maintenance created for the template. Refer to View Data Objects for more information.
Template Creator Permissions
A user who creates a template is added as a User, Template User and Template Role User for that Template if the following settings are configured:
- The Add Roles on Template Creation check box is checked on the Parameters page, and
- The Auto Copy check box is enabled on the Vertical View of the Roles page for the Template Role
Mass Maintenance and Integrate
Once a template is created and generated in Mass Maintenanceit is added to the dspCompose category in Integrate.
Integrate also creates
- A process based on the template
- A loop in the process template with the Mapping Value for each field mapping automatically populated
A process template loop assigns a view from the process’s data source to a loop within the template. The loop is mapped to a view that contains the data to post for the corresponding template loop in the process.
Deleting a Mass Maintenance template in Mass Maintenance removes the Mass Maintenance template and process from Integrate.
