Documentation

Definition

The severity is used to control two different things:

  • The message type of the message that is triggered when determination fails.
  • The type of the evaluation light that occurs when the analysis determines records where determination will fail.

By default, the severity is a warning.

Example

Having a table containing some records that belong to a specific company code and some records that are company code independent, you may only want to convert the company code dependent records and leave the others as is. By default you will get a yellow light in the org analysis as well as warnings in the conversion protocol telling you that determination fails for the company code independent records. In this special case you are aware of that situation that is handled the way you want it. You don't want the warning messages confusing the user.
Set the severity to 'I' and you will get a green light in the org analysis and just information messages in the conversion protocol.
