CLASS MAINTENANCE BY CLMM

 

This topic will be about class maintenance, for instance when you have an object or multiple objects assigned to a class, we can do the mass maintenance of that object or multiple objects by running the CLMM transaction:

The first option “Copy values assigned to a object” allows you to copy all the characteristic values to another object or multiple objects:

Just insert the values on the characteristics that you want to insert and then click on the "copy characteristics value" button and the values will be memorized, on the second tab you may put the destination objects :

Right above you will get two options: test mass change or actual mass change:

As you can see if you make these changes on test mode you will get the simulation of the values change, but if you press the other option obviously you will get the effective changes:

Anyway I advise you to be careful when you try ovewrite values, just check carefully all the data before you execute the effetive change in order to avoid loss of important data!!!

The second option “set and change values” is similar to the first one, but here you can define specific values to one characterist and assign it to multiple objects, for instance:

 

In the fisrt tab you define the caracteristic and the value that you want to assign, let’s assume that you want to assign company value '1000' to 5 different objects (let's say five release strategies for instance):

 

You must assign  those 5 objects in the second tab “target objects”, and then in the last tab “Assignments” you simply put the class in which those objects are assigned (note that you can assign these objects  by CL20N transaction and the class can be created by CL02 transaction):

You can also use the "delete" option, but again, always check your data!

 Then, just like in the first option you make the test change or the effective chamge.
