Possible to copy flavor VA02 to VA03

[remcobroen]

Hi,

Did create a flavor on transaction VA02, change sales order, and did hide a lot of tabs and fields, and moved things around, also created a lot of custom buttons, triggering additional scripts.

If I do need this flavor for VA03, is there any easy way, or do I have to redo all the things for this transaction, display sales order?

Regards,

Remco

Hello,

Please have a look at the following thread: https://archive.sap.com/discussions/thread/3622004

To summarize, it is possible in Personas 2.0 (but not supported) and not feasible in Personas 3.0.

Best regards,

Hi Nicolas,

Did check the thread and we are using Personas 3.0.

If I correctly understand it is possible in Personas 2.0 via the debug workaround, and in Personas 3.0 it is not possible anyway also not via debugging?

You could try to put a breakpoint in method /PERSONAS/IF_CONTROLLER~COPY in class /PERSONAS/CL_FLAVOR_CTRL_DYNP, line 47 :

The field mr_model->item-app_id contains the transaction name of the original flavor (VA02 in your case). Replace ls_flavor-app_id value with "VA03" and continue. I am not sure if it will work but you could try :-p.

PS : I am using Personas 3.0 SP03.

Best regards,

Nicolas

That code changes sometimes between SPs, but the general idea will work.

Unsupported of course 🙂

Indeed, we are using Personas 3.0 SP05 and there it is changed to do this logic in method /PERSONAS/IF_CONTROLLER~UPDATE of class /PERSONAS/CL_FLAVOR_CTRL_BASE.

Did try it for VA02->VA03 and IW32->IW33 and the flavors are then available to choose and to use, but nothing in it unfortunately 😞

Anyway thanks a lot Nicolas!

But when I download the flavor and then do an upload and change app_id during debug, it is working 🙂
