Add on failure identification

[Former Member]

Hi Experts,

We have developed some add on for our customer.Now my customer is asking if incase of any failure of add on we should block the transactions for SAP till the user reconnects the Add on

I tried to convince him that he will get system message when add on is not connected.But he stills says if the user ignores it he can post the wrong transactions to the system,

Please help in this regard

Thank You

Every addon has default group.When the default group is set as Mandatory then SAP does not executes if the addon fails to connect.

In u r case,set the addon as mandatory.If any error occurs then the addon will disconnect and the execution of SAP will stop.

Administration ->Add-Ons -> Add-On Adminstration

Open Add-On adminstration using above path.In Company-Assigned Add-Ons u can find Default Group.Set the Default Group as Mandatory.

The addon is handled in different ways as-

Manual- The addon has to started manuallly.SAP runs even if it fails to start.

Automatic-The addon starts automatically.SAP runs even if it fails to start.

Mandatory-The addon starts automatically.The execution of SAP stops if addon fails to start.

Disabled-The addon is disabled and it will not execute.

Hi Md. Nazeer,

Go to AdministrationAdd-onsAdd-On Administration. On the second tab you'll find, for each user and add-on, how the add-on should start. The options are:

- Predefined: will use the mode defined in the first tab;

- Manual: The user must Start/Stop the add-on whenever he needs it running/not running;

- Automatic: The add-on will start when the user logs on to B1

- Mandatory: The add-on will start when the user logs on to B1 and, if the add-on fails, it will log off the user.
