How do you change the status of a device?

[Former Member]

I've found these FMs related to device status.

ISU_DETERMINE_DEVICE_STATUS - gives the current status of the device, which is well and good, but I want to CHANGE it(the status)!

STATUS_CHANGE_INTERN - by the name, I expected it to do what I wanted (CHANGE device status) but, couldn't figure out how it works. Has anyone been able to use this function to change a device status? Please share.

Thanks,

Hi,

Status can be changed using this FM, but it is not recommended to do so, as they are activated

or deactivated by performing an application procedure.

For using this FM, get the OBJNR from EQUI table, using the MATNR and SERNR.

Get the status you want to set to, from the table TJ02T, using the ISTAT field.

Pass this value as ISTAT into the STATUS parameter of the FM, and an INACTIVE indicator 'X' or space to specify whether this status is active.

Call BAPI_TRANSACTION_COMMIT after this.

Be careful with this approach, as specifying the wrong Status may corrupt the device.

Do you want to set the system or user status?
