ActivityTypeGroup

The object Activity type grouping is a dividing up of activity
types for evaluation purposes or for the specification of rules of
common validity. The division can be performed according to criteria freely defined by the user.

Available Methods

• AddNode : Add nodes to an activity type group [ BAPI_ACTIVITYTYPEGRP_ADDNODE ]
  
• Create : Create activity type group [ BAPI_ACTIVITYTYPEGRP_CREATE ]
  
• GetDetail : Read activity type group [ BAPI_ACTIVITYTYPEGRP_GETDETAIL ]
  
• GetList : Index of activity groups [ BAPI_ACTIVITYTYPEGRP_GETLIST ]
  

AddNode

Description

Insertion of a new node in an activity type group

Insert the SubGroupName group as the last subordinate node in the GroupName group. Specify thecontrolling area of the groups in the ControllingArea parameter. Both groups must already exist.

If an error occurs during insertion, the error message is output in the Return parameter.

Notes

You need the authorization for the object K_CSLA_SET.

Create

Creating or changing an activity type group

All the groups from the table HierarchyNodes are created in the system. The controlling area of thegroups is entered in the ControllingAreaImp parameter, any existing groups are overwritten.

Information about the nodes of a hierarchy is transferred to the table HierarchyNodes. This table contains the group names and the description for each node in the hierarchy. The hierarchy structure isportrayed via the order of the nodes in the table and the level of the node in the HIERLEVEL field.

If values or value intervals are assigned to a node, then the entry in the VALCOUNT field shows the number of assigned values or value intervals. These are transfered to the HierarchyValues table in the order in which these appear in the hierarchy.

Example

The group 'GROUP1' has the following structure:

  GROUP1

   |

   |---- GROUP11

   |  |

   |  |---- GROUP111

   |     |

   |     |---- VALUE1

   |

   |---- GROUP12

      |

      |---- VALUE2

      |---- VALUE3 - VALUE9

The HierarchyNodes table thus contains the following entries:

GROUPNAME HIERLEVEL VALCOUNT

GROUP1 0 0

GROUP11 1 0

GROUP111 2 1

GROUP12 1 2

Only the nodes GROUP111 and GROUP12 contain values or intervals, the HierarchyValues table therefore contains the following entries:

VALFROM VALTO

VALUE1 VALUE1

VALUE2 VALUE2

VALUE3 VALUE9

Groups can contain either values or other groups, i.e. only the end nodes of the hierarchy contain values.

If the optional parameter TopNodeOnly is set to 'X', only the
first node in the hierarchy table can be created or changed. In this case the table HierarchyNodes, in addition to these nodes, may only contain level 1 nodes. These nodes must already exist in thesystem, here they are merely attached to the first node. In this way,
for example, an existing large hierarchy can be extended by attaching anew sub-tree without the hierarchy having to be completely recreated.

If an error occurs when you create a group, the error message is issued in the parameter Return.

Notes

You require the authorization for object K_CSLA_SET.

GetDetail

Reading an activity type group

The activity group GroupName from controlling area ControllingArea is read.

If an error occurs during the reading of the group, the error message is issued in the Return parameter.

Information about the nodes of a hierarchy is transferred to the table HierarchyNodes. This table contains the group names and the description for each node in the hierarchy. The hierarchy structure isportrayed via the order of the nodes in the table and the level of the node in the HIERLEVEL field.

If values or value intervals are assigned to a node, then the entry in the VALCOUNT field shows the number of assigned values or value intervals. These are transfered to the HierarchyValues table in the order in which these appear in the hierarchy.

Example

The group 'GROUP1' has the following structure:

  GROUP1

   |

   |---- GROUP11

   |  |

   |  |---- GROUP111

   |     |

   |     |---- VALUE1

   |

   |---- GROUP12

      |

      |---- VALUE2

      |---- VALUE3 - VALUE9

The HierarchyNodes table thus contains the following entries:

GROUPNAME HIERLEVEL VALCOUNT

GROUP1 0 0

GROUP11 1 0

GROUP111 2 1

GROUP12 1 2

Only the nodes GROUP111 and GROUP12 contain values or intervals, the HierarchyValues table therefore contains the following entries:

VALFROM VALTO

VALUE1 VALUE1

VALUE2 VALUE2

VALUE3 VALUE9

Notes

You require the read authorization for the object. K_CSLA_SET.

GetList

List of activity type groups. All the activity type groups are searched for that satisfy the selection criteria.

You can restrict the search for groups by transferring a mask for the group name in the optional parameter GroupNameMask
(masking indicators are +*).

The controlling area of the groups is entered in parameter ControllingAreaMask (maskingindicators are also possible here).

If the optional parameter TopNodesOnly is set to 'X', a search
is only made for groups that are the top node in a hierarchy, i.e. that are not used in other groups.

The list of groups found is transfered to the table GroupList.

If an error should occur during the search, the error message is issued in the Return parameter.

Example

All the activity group types from controlling area 1000 that begin with 'A' are to be displayed. Call the method:

DATA: LT_GROUPLIST LIKE BAPI1112_LIST OCCURS 0,

      L_RETURN     LIKE BAPIRET2.

CALL FUNCTION 'BAPI_ACTIVITYTYPEGRP_GETLIST'

     EXPORTING

          CONTROLLINGAREAMASK = '1000'

          GROUPNAMEMASK       = 'A*'

     IMPORTING

          RETURN              = L_RETURN

     TABLES

          GROUPLIST           = LT_GROUPLIST.
