At CRM system, when you need to maintain the content of a decision table at Business Rule Framework plus, could be a requirement, during the activation action, to identify the changes done by the user. For this, we need to compare the changes that the user has done on the table content at the decision table settings screen with the content stored on the database. After press the “Activate” button, an object of the exit class registered on the application is instantiated. On this instance, we can check the differences, identifying the rows that have been modified by the user. After implementation, when you change the table content of a decision table linked to the application where the exit class have been registered, the method ACTIVATION_VETO wil be triggered when the “Activate” button is pressed, on the decision table settings screen. On this method, you can read the content of the screen and the content that is already saved on the database, making checks accordingly with your requirements. Implementation Create a class for the interface IF_FDT_APPLICATION_SETTINGS on T-CODE SE24. Implement the method ACTIVATION_VETO. Ps.: the method is only triggered whether the CONSTRUCTOR is implemented as static and attribute GV_ACTIVATION_VETO setted to ABAP_TRUE. Take note of the application ID: On the application settings we should link the created class to the application on BRFPLUS: At T-CODE SE11, create: Structure Z_S_DECISION_TABLE_RANGE Table Type Z_TT_DECISION_TABLE_RANGE Structure Z_S_DECISION_TABLE_DATA Source code: METHOD if_fdt_application_settings~activation_veto.
