SAP Program IGN_COPY - Program for Copying BRF Objects

Purpose
You can use this report to copy objects from the Business Rule Framework(BRF).
When you copy BRF objects, the system creates new objects under a newname, either with a prefix and/or a suffix.
You have the following options for copying BRF objects:

  • You can copy just the specified BRF object.

  • You can simulate the copy process, meaning that the objects
    • are not actually copied. This selection is useful for checking theassignment of names, for example.

    Integration
    You can use this report to copy all BRF objects in a client.

    Prerequisites
    The object you want to copy must exist.

    Selection
    Specify the following data for the BRF object you want to copy:

    • Client

    • Import status

    • Application class

    • Category

    • Object ID

      • The new object is given the name of the original, plus the specifiedprefix and suffix. You can either specify just a prefix or a suffix orboth.
      Note: If there is already an objectwith the new name (consisting of theprefix_objectID_suffix), the suffix is shortened and a sequential numberis added. Avoid this kind of entry as it is difficult to read the name.
      Make one of the following settings:
      • If you want to copy just the specified BRF object, select
        • CopyFlat.
        • If you only want to simulate the copy process, select Simulate.

          • Output
          The system displays a list. In the top part of the list, you can see theobjects involved and their assignments. In the lower part, the objectsare sorted by their new names/object IDs.
