Re: Browser User Exit

- Release 6

- Im trying to edit an item that is structure to a BOM. A warning or error message will be displayed.
Mapics Browser -> Engineering-> Bills of Material
Ex. If the user tries to create a Component Item to a Paraent Item I want to display a msg
based on the Component Item Revision that was entered.

- The user exits that I activated and will modify are UMDMBD0R and UMDMBD1R
Integrator-> Business Objects -> Bill of Material -> User Exits

My question is what exactly is the extension file? Is it a method in which to feed input
into the user exit programs?

Another question that just came to mind is:
When I create the extension files what field names do I use???

In the above example i need to check the Component Item Revision.
I understand I need this field attribute and length defined in the extension file
but what about the field name? does it have to match against anothe file???

thanks
JoeM

I would like to be able to help, but can't say I understand the question. Can you describe at a high level what it is you are trying to achieve and maybe I can help a little more.

Subject: [MAPICS-L] Browser User Exit


Im making my first attempt to work with User Exit on the browser. I need someone to correct me if I am thinking wrong and maybe throw in some pointer.



The part that is confusing is the extension file. Im not exactly sure what this is.

Im suspecting its more like a parameter file. A method in which to get the

input data to the User Exit program so that it can be worked on i.e. compared,

checked, edit. I understand I need to modify at least two programs. One that actual populates the extension/parameter file and the other to read it and do some processing and return a result.

.is this correct????



In the mean time I have identified the User Exit shell programs, located the source on the i5 and Activated both User Exit programs from the Business Object browser.



My next step is to create two files one with keys the other with out.

The fields in the files are the fields I want to look at and process. Basically I am

creating somewhat of a generic parameter list.

.is that correct?????



Thanks!

JM
