Changing the Content of Existing Domains

Using PATCH operations, it's possible to change the content of an existing domain. The following changes can be specified:

• Changes to header-level properties, such as the format of a domain or its output length
• Insertions, updates, or deletions of fixed values

The code sample below illustrates how the following changes can be performed with a single PATCH operation:

• Update the short description, case-sensitive indicator, and output style
• Update an existing fixed value
• Delete an existing fixed value
• Insert a new fixed value

Sample Code:

DATA(lv_transport) = CONV sxco_transport( '...' ).
DATA(lv_domain_name) = CONV sxco_ad_object_name( 'MY_DOMAIN' ).
 
DATA(lo_patch_operation) = xco_cp_generation=>environment->dev_system( lv_transport
  )->for-doma->create_patch_operation( ).
 
DATA(lo_change_specification) = lo_patch_operation->add_object( lv_domain_name
  )->create_change_specification( ).
 
" Change header-level properties.
lo_change_specification->for-update->set_short_description( 'My new short description'
  )->set_case_sensitive( abap_true
  )->set_output_style( xco_cp_domain=>output_style->normal ).
 
" Update the description of fixed value "A".
lo_change_specification->for-update->add_fixed_value( 'A'
  )->set_description( 'Fixed Value A' ).
 
" Delete fixed value "B".
lo_change_specification->for-delete->add_fixed_value( 'B' ).
 
" Insert fixed value "C".
lo_change_specification->for-insert->add_fixed_value( 'C'
  )->set_description( 'Fixed Value C' ).
 
lo_patch_operation->execute( ).
