Define Merge Actions for Business Object Record Locking Settings

Set merge actions for Business Object Record Locking Settings.

Use the Record Locking page in the Business Object Properties window to define overwrite options for record locking settings for a Business Object.

Good to know:

• You can only configure separate merge actions for individual Business Object properties and areas if the Business Object is set to Merge in the Business Object Properties window (mApp page). If the Business Object is set to any other option, or if the Include in mApp check box is cleared, then you cannot configure separate merge actions for individual properties or areas.
• For more information about defining Record Locking settings for a Business Object, refer to Define Record Locking Settings for a Business Object.

To define merge actions for Record Locking settings:

1. Add a Business Object to a mApp Solution using the Add Business Object to mApp Wizard.
2. Open the Business Object Properties window for the Business Object you just added to the mApp® Solution:
   1. In the Object Manager within the mApp Editor, select the Edit Business Object task in the Structure area.

      The Business Object Editor opens.

      Tip: You can also select Business Object on the mApp Editor toolbar to open the Business Object Editor.

   2. Select Bus Ob Properties.
3. Set the Business Object to Merge:
   1. Select the mApps page, and then select the Include in mApp check box.
   2. In the Options area, select the Import to Target System option.
   3. In the If Already Present drop-down list, select Merge as the merge action for the Business Object.
4. Select the Record Locking page.
5. Select mApp, and then select a merge action:
   • Do Not Overwrite Record Locking Options: Select this option to leave the Business Object's Record Locking settings unchanged in the target system when the mApp Solution is applied.
   • Overwrite Record Locking Options: Select this option to overwrite the Business Object's Record Locking settings in the target system when the mApp Solution is applied.

6. Select OK.

7. Prepare the mApp Solution for Distribution (File > Prepare mApp for Distribution), or save the mApp Solution (File > Save mApp to Disk) to continue making other changes.
