• Message number: 044

• Message text: ZDO enablement required for SL API &1

What causes this issue?

The properties of an API called by an after-import method (AIM) are not
correctly maintained. For more information about this check, see
<DS:TX.SZDM_CC_GENERAL_ZDO>here.</>
The metadata object of the API &V1& has been created. However, either
the ZDO status is not set to a value which guarantees ZDO enablement or
the attributes of at least one of the accessed tables are not properly
defined.
You can maintain the required properties in a
<DS:TX.SCTS_SLAPI_REPOSITORY>Repository for Meta Data of an API called
by an After-Import Method</>.

How to fix this error?

Check and make sure that the data accessed by the API cannot be changed
by the productive system during the upgrade. Confirm the ZDO enablement
only in case this can be guaranteed.
To confirm the ZDO enablement for the API &V1& to be called by
after-import methods, perform the following steps:
Call transaction SLAPI.
Select the line containing &V1&.
Choose "Used Database Tables".
Check completeness of the tables and whether the attributes
<DS:DE.OB_LOCK_MODE>"Lock mode"</> and <DS:DE.OB_ACCESS_TYPE>"Access"</>
are correctly maintained. Lock mode "Undefined" is considered as not
yet ZDO enabled.
Choose "API Header".
Select the line containing &V1&.
Enter an appropriate value in the column "ZDO status"
<DS:DE.STATUS_ZDM>(Possible ZDO values)</>) as a confirmation that the
API is completely ZDO enabled. ZDO status maintenance requires the same
authorization as for XPRA administration. Contact the XPRA responsible
person if you are not allowed to maintain this status.

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