How To Fix ILM_STOR689 - Specify connection type in the form @

ILM_STOR689 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ILM_STOR -

• Message number: 689

• Message text: Specify connection type in the form @

What causes this issue?

A valid connection to a storage storage system in the ILM Store consists
of two things: The connection ID and the ID of the connection type.
For example, the database connection to SAP IQ in DBCO can be created as
follows:
Connection Name: IQCONN
Database system: SIQ

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

If you want to return your own specific connection, both values are
required. To do so, these values are combined in return value EV
_CONN_TYPE and separated with '@'. In the above example, the correct
return value would be 'IQCONN@SIQ'.
In the existing case, however, the returned valued does not correspond
to the specification.

System Response

The execution of the current command is terminated.

How to fix this error?

Change the BAdI implementation in such a way that if your own connection
to a storage system is to be returned, this happens as expected.
