Maintenance Object Portal
The Maintenance Object page has been converted to a portal, leveraging a more flexible and extendable user interface metaphor. The portal organization makes it easier to review the maintenance object's configuration and includes the following key features:
- The maintenance object's hierarchical table structure is visualized as a tree. Table information is also provided as a list with worklist capability.
- The display and maintenance of Options and Algorithms follow the user experience introduced on the Business Object portal.
- The Relationship tab describes the data model relationship between this maintenance object and others.
- Additional details like the maintenance object's application service, its primary table's classification, and related portals are displayed.
- A comprehensive list of references to the maintenance object is provided.
- A less cluttered sidebar by removing the zone that shows business object information to a designated tab on the new portal.
Converting the Maintenance Object page to a portal allows for a better user experience when reviewing and configuring maintenance objects. There is no impact to existing extensions with this enhancement.
Steps to Enable
You don't need to do anything to enable this feature.
Tips And Considerations
A new business object (BO) for Maintenance Object and a new Determine BO algorithm linked to the Maintenance Object were introduced. The base BO includes all the user interface behavior designed for the new portal. If your implementation has introduced your own CM business object and CM Determine BO algorithm, you should review your business object's configuration and align it with the base business object.
Upgrade scripts ensure that users with Read access to the existing application service will have access to the new application service associated with the new portal. The table lists the existing and new application services.
