MX_INHERIT?

[former_member2987]

I have a question for the group mind...

I'm looking at the 7.2  initial load job for ABAP and I see a reference for the MX_GROUP_INHERITANCE attribute.  I looked it up in the Schema document and I see a reference that this is replaced by MX_INHERIT.

It's not a big deal to just make the update, but I'm wondering what I'm missing by not having this populated?

Thanks,

Matt

MX_INHERIT is used for privilege inheritance direction and level (none, one, sub) and is not related to MX_GROUP_INHERITANCE. Not sure why the schema document would say such a thing.

Ok, so if I don't specify MX_INHERIT, what happens?

Nothing 🙂

I can tell you MX_GROUP_INHERITANCE has no functionality in the procedures of 7.2 or even 7.1, its just an attribute, so any functionality would have been implemented in the SAP Provisioning framework or its scripts. I'm not sure what should happen within the provisioning framework in the case of a MX_GROUP_INHERITANCE value being set either though so what is not happening is a mystery to me too. Could it be from the 7.1 framework if it used MX_GROUP objects for some reason?
