Definition

The Maintenance Mode indicaltor is a special attribute of an application. You use it to specify how the authorization default data (SU22 data) of the application is maintained.

The indicator can have the following values:

  • A (Automatic maintenance)

    Authorization objects that are newly assigned to the application by the authorization trace automatically receive the status No authorization default values (previously "check").

  • B (Automatic maintenance of the Basis authorization objects)

    Basis authorization objects that are newly assigned to the application by the authorization trace automatically receive the status No authorization default values (previously "check").

  • I (irrelevant)

    It is not possible or meaningful to deliver authorization default data for the application. You therefore do not need to maintain the authorization default data.

  • O (obsolete)

    The application is obsolete. You therefore do not need to maintain the authorization default data.

Use

  1. After the default status and field values have been completely assigned to the authorization objects for an application or a service, the user can set the maintenance status of the application to A or B. This means that new authorization objects found by the trace are automatically set to the default status No. Set these values only for applications that have already been delivered in several releases with no changes and for which there is therefore no chance of significant changes to the authorization default data being necessary.
  2. In certain cases, it is possible that it is not meaningful to deliver authorization default data for an application. For obsolete applications that have been replaced by one or more other applications, you can set the status O for obsolete. For applications for which it is not possible to deliver meaningful authorization default data, you can set the status I for irrelevant. This can be the case, for example, for very generic applications, for which the precise business purpose is not determined.
