Hi MDG/DQM folks,
Master Data business rules, such as validation, are defined in the central repository of SAP MDG DQM. The rules are also applied in MDG Central Governance. I have been asked quite often whether it is possible to include a long text and even a hyperlink (e.g. to an internal company webpage for further explanation) in the DQM validation message.
The answer is: YES.. and this short blog explains the configuration.
Before
If you configure a DQM validation rule with a special configuration the DQM error message will look like this:
Simple DQM error message
After
If you configure a message class and number in the DQM Validation rule and that error message has a long text including a hyperlink your message will look like this:
DQM error message with long text and hyperlink
To maintain a error message with long text and a link in your DQM validation you need to do 2 steps:
SE91 – Create error message
- Start tcode se91 in your MDG/S4Hana system
- Enter/ Create your custom message class
- Create a new message number
- Make sure that the checkbox “Self-Explanatory” is not checked
Settings in SE91: Define error message (1) - Click on “Long Text”
Settings in SE91: Define error message (2) - Enter a similar text as in the screenshot:
Settings in SE91: Define Long Text
Use newly created error message/class in the DQM rule
- Navigate into your DQM Rule
- Change the settings of the error message:
Settings in DQM Validation App: Refer to the se91 error message - Save your changes and test it.
- Extra Feature:
You can also pass information from the MDG process to the SE91 error message via “Message Variables”. One example in the following screenshot: It passes the BP_ID from the Change request into the message.
Settings in DQM Validation app: Pass BRF+ context variable
Settings in SE91 error message: Placeholder for variable
The result looks like:
DQM Error message including runtime variable
Hope this helps you sometimes….
Cheers
Steffen
