User master data maintenance

Access through: User master data maintenance

The User master data maintenance feature of Snow Optimizer for SAP® Software enables mass updating of user master data.

Description​

For the mass maintenance of user master data, you can create user master update schemes. User master update schemes define the data source type and the target field. There are two possibilities to determine how schemes update data in the target field:

  • Scheme rows

    Scheme rows consist of a source field, a regular expression, and a replacement term. The regular expression and the replacement term determine how the content of the source field is transferred to the target field. By applying a user master update scheme with scheme rows, the results of scheme rows are combined, and the final result is transferred into the target field.

  • Class implementation

    You can create an ABAP class that implements the interface /DYNAM/IF_UM_UPDATE_RULE_IMPL and then use this class implementation in a user master update scheme. A class implementation provides more options than scheme rows for changing data because you can also use data that is not directly contained in user master records.

When you apply a user master update scheme, the user master data changes are recorded in a change list.

EXAMPLE

This user master update scheme sets the e-mail address for all selected users on ABAP systems in the format firstname.lastname@example.com.
