Why is EH&S Business Function OPS_EHS_CI_1 Not Activated with SAP S/4HANA 1709?

Why is EH&S Business Function OPS_EHS_CI_1 Not Activated with SAP S/4HANA 1709 Best Practices for Chemicals (USA)?

I saw the SAP Note about the Business Function being left out of the S4 Always Activated list. I am uncertain why the Best Practice instructions don't include the switch activation.

Just a guess: Could it be that BP4Chem 1709 is not making use of that business function?

Dear Jim

regarding: The error is: "An error occurred when starting the display application."

I can only provde feedback as: WWI is the most troublesome tool in SAP environment ever seen. We have so many reasons why it does not work (e.g. access rights onthe WIndows box/PC etc.)

We have Word issues, Windows Issues, SAP GUI issues, WWI issues...

Just take look https://blogs.sap.com/2017/02/12/wwi-still-seems-to-be-the-most-troublesome-tool-in-sap-ehs/

So the maybe best is: Just "reinstall" WWI locally and try again.

Hello

in some SAP notes it is explained that if you move to S/4 HANA most of the "EHS Classic" business functions are "on" (so called "always on" Business Funcitons). You can not revoke this.

There is one business function which is "not on" (coming with EnhPack 3); assumption would be: even if it is "not on" you can activate it.

Assumption: this set up will not change with future S/4 HANA releases.

Christoph,

I am having trouble getting S/4HANA 1709 to display a WWI Report on my frontend SAP GUI 740 on Windows 10 with Office 365.

Could this problem be caused by the lack of activation of Business function OPS_EHS_CI_1?

The error is: "An error occurred when starting the display application."

Thanks,

Jim

Hi jimhermann,

In the case of OPS_EHS_CI_1, best practice documentation might not have an specific instruction for activating the business function, perhaps because when OPS_EHS_CI_1 was first released, it had an activation bug; which is corrected is Support Package SAPK-10001INS4CORE, as detailed in SAP note "2219180 - Business function OPS_EHS_CI_1 cannot be activated".

Instructions on activating a business function are detailed on SAP Note "1641394 - SFW5: How-to activate Business Function"

Further instructions on OPS_EHS_CI_1 activation dependencies can be found here:

https://help.sap.com/viewer/235c008f0a794eda8aabf3e3aa808377/6.04.20/en-US/1c4d449ace914048bbc489468...

Last, but not least, these SAP notes provide details on Always ON and Always OFF business functions

2240360 - SAP S/4HANA: Always-On Business Functions

2240359 - SAP S/4HANA: Always-Off Business Functions

Finally, the following blog provides a nice lecture regarding S/4 business functions:

Hope it helps,

Cheers,

Luis 🙂

Luis,

SAP note 2219180 was released in Sep 2015 and Support Package SAPK-10001INS4CORE was cleared in Feb 2016. One would think that the correction would have been included in any documentation for S/4HANA 1709 at least a year later.

Let's see if the Business Function OPS_EHS_CI_1 Is ALWAYS ON for S/4HANA 1909 and 2020. I wonder what The SAP Model Company for Chemicals contains also.

Best Regards,

Jim
