Mass Maintenance

Use Mass Maintenance with Integrate Looped Templates

Mass Maintenance is designed to automate the creation and posting of mass changes to a single looped Integrate template. Posting mass changes to SAP that require looping requires steps to be taken outside of the traditional Mass Maintenance process flow. While the creation of Mass Maintenance templates and requests to post looped Integrate templates is not a certified component of Mass Maintenance and is not supported, the functionality can be incorporated using the following steps:

  1. Create a Looped Template and Process in Integrate. Refer to BDC Script Template with Looping Enabled or GUI Script Template with Looping Enabled in Integrate for more information.
  2. Create all tt tables and tx views for the Integrate Process, either manually or by using the Auto Generate feature of Integrate
  3. Create rt Tables from the tt Tables
  4. Create Custom Pages and Views in Mass Maintenance to enter Template data
  5. Create a Template that Uses the Custom Pages in Mass Maintenance
  6. Add Custom Roles for the Looped Template

NOTE: These generic instructions should provide the steps needed to use a multi-loop Integrate template with Mass Maintenance.These instructions are an example. Modifications might be needed, depending on the user’s actual process.
