Functionality
You can use this method to transfer generic engineering nodes andrelationships to different systems.
The GENERICENGIDS table provides the function module with a list of thenodes that are to be transferred. The nodes are identified by theirinternal identifications (NODE_ID). You can use the function modulePVSHI_INTERNAL_OBJECT_ID to determine the internal identification foran engineering node.
The data is transferred as follows:

  • The system transfers the generic engineering nodes and their
    • attributes.
    • It also transfers the relationships that point to and from the nodes.

      • The data can be booked into the receiving system using the functionmodule BAPI_1197_SAVEREPLICA.

      Notes
      When the REQUESTCHANGES parameter has the value 'X', the systemevaluates the change pointers for the PPE_GEN message type.Consequently, the system does not consider the GENERICENGIDS parameterand transfers only modified data and any deletions.

      Description
      The GENERICIDS table contains the internal identifications for genericengineering nodes (application object type GEN). These nodes aretransported to the appropriate systems.
