ActiveControl 8.40 (February 2021 release) introduced a new capability to automatically populate the Transport Form [Type] field based on the SAP-level type of the transport (ie Customizing, Workbench, Transport of Copies).
This was made possible via a new /BTI/TE_EXIT_AUTOADDTFTYP_0610 user exit, and is detailed in this Change Note.
Following ActiveControl 8.40, some customers raised issue that it was not possible to use /BTI/TE_EXIT_AUTOADDTFTYP_0610 to auto-populate the Type, but still use the global ‘Prepopulate Type, Group, Path in new transport forms from last used value’ configuration to automatically populate the Group and Path fields on the Transport Form.
As such, ActiveControl 9.00 introduces an enhanced version of the User Exit so both can be used in parallel. The table below summarises the various combination options and the expected outcomes:
| /BTI/TE_EXIT_AUTOADDTFTYP_0610 | Prepopulate Type, Group, Path in new transport forms from last used value | Other 0610 User Exit also switched on | Expected Outcome |
| On | Off | Off | TF Type will be populated based on SAP transport type. TF Group and Path will be blank. |
| On | On | Off | TF Type will be populated based on SAP transport type. TF Group and Path will be populated based on previous value. |
| On | On | On | TF Type will be populated based on SAP transport type. TF Group and Path will be populated based on previous value. Other 0610 User Exit will also run, but populating the TF Type should not form part of that User Exit. |
| Off | On | Off | TF Type, Group and Path will be populated based on previous value. |
| Off | Off | On | Whatever is coded in custom user exit will take effect. |
| On | Off | On | TF Type will be populated based on SAP transport type. Other 0610 User Exit will also run, but populating the TF Type should not form part of that other 0610 User Exit. |
Configuration Steps.
No new configuration steps are required.
- /BTI/TE_EXIT_AUTOADDTFTYP_0610 is switched on in the usual way via table /BTI/TE_EXITC in the Domain Controller.
- ‘Prepopulate Type, Group, Path in new transport forms from last used value’ option is switched on via the Global option in the [Other] tab in the Windows GUI configuration screens.
More information on this enhancement can be found in the online Change Note.
