Documentation

Definition

The check status for each object influences the valuation of the result of a scenario-based authority check.
After the authority check with the statement AUTHORITY-CHECK OBJECT, the check result is returned in accordance with the following rules:

• X - Actively check without restrictions
  The result of the scenario-based authority check for this object is identical to the general authority check.
• N - Checks disabled (always passes)
  The result of the scenario-based authority check for this object is always passed (return code 0), irrespective of the available authorizations.
• W - Failed checks result in warnings
  If the authority check for this object fails, warning message 100 of the message class is displayed. The value for the check status is then successful (return code 0).
• O - Entry is obsolete
  The object is marked as not-relevant for this scenario.
  The result of the scenario-based authorization check for this object is identical to the check status X.
  This status is particularly useful for scenarios in learning mode, to avoid iterative maintenance processes.
• U = Undefined
  The object was added to the object list of the scenario, but it has not yet been possible to determine the check status. The result of the scenario-based authorization check for this object is identical to the check status X.

Use

Dependencies

The check status for the object has no effect, if the scenario status is set to the value 'I - scenario in status "Inactive" (ignore all checks)'.

The check status is only relevant if the uathorization check is performed with the method call CL_SACF=> AUTH_CHECK_SPEC( ).
