Migrating Existing xFlow Authorization Objects
All active authorization objects remaining in the namespace ZXF1 for Version 5.2.0 have been migrated to the namespace J_8WX. This renders all authorization objects in the ZXF1 namespace starting with Version 5.2.1 obsolete.
To avoid conflicts with existing authorization profiles, authorization-check invocations have been adjusted to be downwardly compatible. The check of the object ZXF1_TXTPL when invoking Transaction /WMD/XF_TXTPL has been removed as the invocation is already protected with the object S_TCODE.
Important Note
Extensions made to the authorization objects as relates to the fields or activities that will be necessary when making extensions to the program only take place in the J_8WX namespace. Therefore, we recommend successively replacing the ZXF1 objects in the existing authorization profiles with the new authorization objects.
