Change Log (SAP NOTE 3341012)
Category | Feature description |
|---|---|
Equipment/Functional location | Measuring points and readings Technicians can use the FSM mobile application to display measuring points and measurement documents created in SAP ECC/S4, as well as to record new readings for a given equipment. The readings are then stored in SAP ECC/S4 as measurement documents. Learn more: Measuring points and measurements readings |
Performance | A faster version of FSM Cockpit A new method of collecting data was introduced, significantly speeding up the process of reading IDocs in the FSM Cockpit. The new Cockpit can be accessed using transaction /PACG/ECM_COCKPIT2 - FSM Connector Cockpit (new). Learn more: https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/2137096193 Enable foreground inbound processing. Select a custom RFC Connection. A new configuration option allows processing of incoming messages in the foreground instead of background (synchronous vs. asynchronous processing). This can improve performance in the systems where background processing is heavily loaded. Additionally, an RFC Connection other than ‘None’ can be selected for inbound idoc processing.

UX improvements | Service call type definition configuration redesign
UX improvements in other service call-related configurations
Navigate to sending transactions from the related customizing transactions The button 'Send to FSM', added to several customizing transactions, navigates to the corresponding sending transactions. This helps reduce the effort related to jumping between FSM Cloud Connector folders and transactions. Learn more: https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/37138756 FSM menu reorganization Transactions in FSM Cloud Connector folders Administration, Reporting and Send were grouped into meaningful categories, based on their functionality and usage. The new sub-folders can be seen in the tree of the application help page: https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/31952499. Collapse/expand all company-related notes in the attachment configuration Two buttons added to https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/842661889 - it is now possible to collapse and expand the entire company configuration tree with a single click. Display all customizing entries in the Customer deactivation configuration It is now possible to display all the existing configuration entries maintained with transaction https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/1839759361 as ALV Learn more: https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/1839759361, button 'Display customizing' |

Users/Employees | ‘Soft deleted’ flag added to users' maintenance A new column/flag was added to the Connector’s Users Maintenance - soft deletion of users is now reflected by a corresponding checkbox in the mentioned transactions. See e.g. https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/975601665/PACG+ECM+MAINT+USER+-+FSM+users#(S4)PACG-200-SP09--Soft-delete. A new report checking validity of FSM users in the SAP system The new report - /PACG/ECM_FSMUSR_CHK - checks validity of FSM users in the SAP system, more precisely the status of the related SAP user (if exists, if within validity date, if not locked) and personnel number (if exists, if employment status is active). The report can also be called from https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/975601806. Learn more: https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/1650065512 Employee IDocs PA0024 skills are no longer included in employee Idoc. This obsolete approach in certain circumstances would cause skills to be rejected by FSM, due to exceeded lenght. The skills are now only sent as seperate SKILL objects. |
Administration and monitoring | Deletion report for table /PACG/ECM_ALTEW The table /PACG/ECM_ALTEW, together with /PACG/ECM_ALTEWC (CATS receivers), /PACG/ECM_ALTEWS (splits) and /PACG/ECM_ALTEWU (udfs), is used for ‘parking’ time records, as well as to store any inbound time effort (in case they get updated in FSM and the corresponding SAP documents should be adjusted). These tables can rapidly grow and a new deletion report helps users get rid of the unneeded entries. Learn more: https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/1881178137 Connector’s number ranges A new view was added to the FSM Cockpit - it shows a list of Connector-related number ranges and their current status Send Deletion Requests transaction The validation of entered cloud message type was added to https://proaxia-prod-doc.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/PFCC/pages/37138563 in order to avoid errors.
