T-Code: Mass to Update the Installation Object? 

When using the TCode Mass I do not see an object listed for the installation.

Does anyone know how to add it? Could we go to the enhancements for SAPMMSDL and add installation?

I did not find any user exits for the package MASS.

Any advice or guidance please?

******

I found and read the Cookbook, Mass Changes in IS-U.

It tells me about mass changes but is any of this available in the TCODE: MASS?

*****

To put my request in context a bit. I wanted to update EANL and set the field ABLESARTST in MASS for 30k installations.

James:

Transaction MASS is not designed to be used for any/all objects - it has a limited scope. And by design, you cannot easily add objects for processing.  You would need to define the logic to do all of the selection and update.

To update installations on a mass scale, you could use a script tool, eg winrunner, eCATT tool or use method INSTLN.EDIT within a custom program.

Hi James,

You can also develop a custom program using the FMs ISU_S_INSTLN_PROVIDE and ISU_S_INSTLN_CHANGE.

You need to first calling FM "ISU_S_INSTLN_PROVIDE" to get the auto object. Then update the field  y_auto-data-ABLESARTST. And call FM "ISU_S_INSTLN_CHANGE" to pass back the data to the system.

Hope it helps...

Thanks,

Thanks. I have written a custom program to update the value. I was really looking to see how to modify mass to update the installation and it appears as if it can not be done.
