Specific configuration object and object set details

This topic outlines a few specific actions that are performed during a Configuration Data Management run for some of the configuration data object sets of the APP-IV-A and APP-IV-B export definitions.

For more details, please refer to the spreadsheet attached in KB article 2271146. This spreadsheet is updated for each additional release.

  • Configuration object set: Common - Companies (tc0060)

    The following logic applies to both configuration objects in this set:

    • For a standard import from scratch, in which tcemm170 and tccom000 rows do not exist, the rows are created during the import.
    • For tcemm170 rows that are present in the destination environment, the update is skipped during the import.
    • tccom000 rows that are present in the destination environment are updated unless functional errors occur. If errors occur, the update is skipped, and the errors are listed in a report.

  • Configuration object set Common - Company Dependent Parameters (tc0070)

    An automatically triggered Initialize Parameters command is included. This command is similar to the initialization command performed through the Initialize Parameters (tcmcs0295m000) session.

    For BOD parameters that are initialized during the Configuration Data Management run, the Prevent BOD Publishing check box will be selected in the BOD Parameters (tcbod0100m000) session.

  • Configuration object set: Common – Departments and their Classifications (tc0220)

    • The configuration objects of this configuration object set include the department data of the Common package and some, but not all department data of the Order Management, Manufacturing, and Service packages.

      This means that some of the data needed for a full setup of departments is unavailable in this configuration object set.

      For example, department settings by site are unavailable in this configuration object set.

      Consequently, mandatory department data from Order Management, Manufacturing, or Service that does not exist in the target environment is left empty after the import of this configuration object set. To allow for the import of incomplete data, the checks for the presence of this data are bypassed during the import.

      The resulting incomplete master data setup for departments allows for use in Common, but not for full operational use.

  • Configuration object set: Common – Internal Business Partners (tc0250)

    This configuration object set supports the preliminary initialization of internal business partners. Business partner roles are not included in the export and import.

    The complete internal business partner synchronization is part of configuration object set: Common – Business Partners and Related Data (tc0600), which is included in export definition APP-IV-B.

  • Configuration object set: Common – Internal Warehouses (tc0260)

    • The export and import include internal warehouses, which refer to internal clusters and internal sites. External warehouses are included in configuration object set: Warehousing - Warehouses (wh0080). This configuration object set is processed in export definition APP-IV-B, after the export or import of the business partner data.

    • The configuration objects of this configuration object set include warehousing data of the Common package and some, but not all data of the Warehousing package.

      The complete warehouse export and import is included in configuration object set: Warehousing - Warehouses (wh0080), see above. Configuration object set: Warehousing - Warehouses (wh0080) is part of export definition APP IV-B.
