2.6.1 Details of save function for unsupported definition information items
This subsection describes the details of the save function for unsupported definition information items.
- Organization of this subsection
(1) Import function
When you import definition information, the definition items that have no corresponding definition items in the definition information management template are set in Other definition information in the unit definition parameter format. For the definition items not supported by JP1/AJS3 - Definition Assistant, see 5.2 Support status of the definition items in JP1/AJS3 - View.
(2) Export function
(a) Batch definition or individual definition function
By defining definition information in the Other definition information section in the unit definition parameter format and executing batch or individual export, you can define the definition items that have no corresponding definition items in the definition information management template.
Batch or individual export merges supported definition items in the definition information management template with definition information in Other definition information. Therefore, you can also define the supported definition items in Other definition information. However, do not define in the Other Definition Information section, but the corresponding define item columns.
Also, you could define definition information as the supported definition items and in the Other definition information section. However, if definition information is duplicated after merging, it is an error and the KAVS0650-E message is output in the last record of the definition information management template. To prevent this error, correctly specify the unit definition parameters in the Other definition information section.
(b) Update function
You cannot update the contents of Other definition information. You cannot also mark cells by pressing the F2 key.
Therefore, update definition information, and redefine the unit by the batch or individual definition function.
(3) Check function
The following check function is available for the Other definition information section.

NA: Not applicable
(4) Custom jobs
In Other definition information, R/3 job definition information which is not supported by the definition information management is not included. For details about the Custom job definition information section, see 2.7 Display function for the custom job definition information section.
In the definition information management template, if the custom job definition information section is not displayed, importing SAP job definition information results in setting all definition information in Environment variables and in Parameters. Therefore, exporting the imported execution result by Batch or Individual to the original definition information in the manager host dose not result in losing the definition information.
If importing a custom PC job with the following definition information is set, output to Other definition information.
-
Working path
-
Environment file
-
Standard input
-
Standard output : Append
-
Standard error : Append
-
Transfer file 1 to 4 : File to transfer
-
Transfer file 1 to 4 : Destination file
-
Transfer file 1 to 4 : Auto-del
A custom PC job with the definition information above cannot be exported by specifying Batch or Individual or Change export cannot be executed because of the restriction of the JP1/AJS function. To export, it is required to delete the definition information, before export.
