MM01 MM02 Long text button not working

  • 1.  MM01 MM02 Long text button not working

    Posted 06-22-2023 08:57

    Dear,

    I am working for a client that wants to use the long text functionality in WSH Studio to add text to the Material Master Sales Text view.

    I am using transaction code MM01 /MM02

    After the recording and upon selection of the "Add long Text "button the following message appears ( see below)

    The FM that has been installed is: AutomateFM v20.3

    hi Maarten,

    as far as I know it works only in *02 t-codes so in change codes . Double check if you are not trying to add it in MM01 script.

    Thank you Radoslav for your reply.

    I am actually using MM02 for this recording. But I get the mentioned error message?

    Any other reason why it fails to work?

    Hi Maarten,
    I think T-code MM01 is not supported.
    MM02 should work.
    These are the supported t-codes in a previous version:
    Check the allowed t-codes for your version.
    You could also create a Direct script with /WINSHTLQ/TRN_CREATE_TEXT

    Kind regards

    Hi Pascal,

    Thanks for helping out.  I would like to use trx code MM02 for this.

    But as you can see the error message does not allow me to do so.

    Any other clue as to why it does not work?

    BR,

    Maarten

    Maarten,
    Based upon the error message I guess your client still uses Studio V11
    which is not in line with the installed function module V20.3

    This is the Studio version being used. Should be okay?

    Maarten,
    I'm afraid that WFM V20.3 is not backwards compatible with Studio V20.2.9.
    We use WFM V20.2.9 with Studio V20.2.9 and the maintenance of long texts works like a charm in this combination.
    Please verify with your Precisely contact person before changing WFM to 20.2.9 or upgrade Studio to 20.3

    Hi Maarten,

    You sent me a message separate from this post.

    Pascal is right in that we do not recommend a newer version of the FM with an older version of Studio.  The other way around is compatible, but it may not allow you to take advantage of new features.  We recommend that for best results, the FM and Studio versions match.

    If you have the FM installed and a newer or equal to version of Studio and it still doesn't work, I suggest you open a support ticket.  They should be able to help look at your system and determine if there are any further steps to take.  

    Best Regards,

    Sigrid

    Hi Sigrid,

    Where can I find the download link for Winshuttle Studio version  V20.3?

    I would like to have the compatible Studio version with the WFM V20.3

    Thanks,

    Maarten

    Hi Sigrid,

     

    Who can I contact regarding my account not being able to login?

     

    I must say that in the previous Winshuttle years the navigation went a bit easier.

    I am a partner of Winshuttle and I am now struggling to give support to my client because of the lengthy way of trying to get an updated product.

    HI Maarten,

    Radoslav is correct.  The object has to exist to post/download long text, so MM02 or MM03 are the only tcodes - not MM01.  Why?  Under the covers we are using the long text requires an object id, like material number or material and plant.  With MM01 (or other create tcodes), we won't have that until it's posted.  You can always chain a simple MM02 or MM03 to the end of your MM01 script to leverage the material number to upload the long text(s).

    Here is the documentation on long text for Studio 20.3:  https://help.precisely.com/r/Automate-Studio/20.3/en-US/Automate-Studio-with-Connect-User-Guide/Transaction/Map-Fields/Add-Long-Text which also lists the tcodes currently supported.

    You'll also want to be sure you have the Winshuttle/Automate Function Module installed in your SAP system(s), which enables this feature.  Each version has a set of tcodes supported for the long text feature.  Here is a support article with the steps to check if it's installed and the version:  https://customer.precisely.com/s/article/How-to-check-SAP-Basis-Kernel-Information-or-Winshuttle-Function-Module-versions-360023686291?language=en_US

    The product and engineering team strive to add new tcodes with every release, based on customer feedback.  On the home page of this community is a link to the ideas portal - feel free to submit new tcodes for long text there.

    Best Regards,

    Sigrid
