Custom Data slice message in IP

[Former Member]

Hello,

In IP, when input is blocked by a dataslice, I get the following message:

"Data slice '0001' protects the characteristic combination"

If a user sees this, he will have no idea what is going on off course. This is unfortunate because this makes dataslices almost useless in my eyes.

Unless anybody knows a way to add a proper message for blocked data...

Thanks,

All very helpfull answers.

I had made a little demo using the user exit dataslice. However, the users prefer to be blocked immediately at the variable screen, so I will not use a dataslice in the end. (Although from a technical point of view, I think the dataslice is a 'prettier' way of working than writing user exit variables).

It is good to know that in future versions the dataslice description will appear and working directly on the IP messages is something that I will use in the future.

Hello,

The following blog describe how you can filter IP messages:

/people/marc.bernard/blog/2008/10/10/how-to-filter-messages-created-by-bi-ip-planning-functions-and-sequences

You should easily be able to adapt this solution to transform the standard error message to something understandable by your end user.

Hi.

Unfortunately I think you can't change default message in standard dataslice, but may be you can create custom dataslice based on ABAP class (with the same logic you have created in standard one) and then use your own message class.

If custom dataslice can be option for you plz take a look on [this document|http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/18655] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken];.

Hi,

in 7.01 SP06 (or with note 1392717) and in 7.30 (to be released) the system will also use the text maintained in the data slice definition in the data slice information message.
