Chapter 3. Property Tree


3.1. General Information
The EHS Standard Functionality includes the definition of properties in order to maintain data
in the EHS specification data base. These properties are delivered together with the property
tree STANDARD. The EHS property tree STANDARD is continuously improved. Extensions
to the EHS property tree STANDARD are delivered with the SAP standard delivery of the
corresponding release or enhancement package.
SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules for substance and mixture classification, SAP EHS
Regulatory Content -substance lists and reference data and SAP EHS Regulatory Content material safety data sheet (MSDS) templates make use of the new properties and new characteristics. Therefore, property tree packages are created in order to provide the new standard
properties and characteristics as a predelivery for older EHS versions as well. These packages
contain everything needed to set up and use the new and changed characteristics and classes/properties added to SAP EHS in an existing EHS 2.7B (on R/3 4.6C), EHS 3.1, EHS 3.2,
EHS 2004 or ERP 6.0 (former name ERP 2005) system.
Each Package contains files for the R/3 Transport Management System (TMS) for new and
changed classes, characteristics, value assignment types and positions in the property tree
STANDARD. Descriptions of classes, characteristics and value assignment types are delivered in English and German.
Since property tree package EHS 2004/2005 new properties including new classes and the
assigned new characteristics and new value assignment types are delivered as a separate
transport. Changed properties and changed characteristics as well as new characteristics assigned to existing properties are delivered in a second transport. This gives the user the possibility to decide whether to import only the new properties or the changes as well.
Since property tree package EHS 2004/2005 help texts are delivered in English and German
for SAP Enterprise Releases (PLM 2.00 with EHS 3.2 or higher releases) and for EHS 2.7B
in R/3 4.6C as separate transports. As an additional service, the help texts are delivered also
as a text document.

3.1.1. Prerequisites
The EHS property tree needs to be updated to the latest release status referring to the EHS
Property Tree Section.
The prerequisite for the import of the allocation of phrases to phrase sets is that the standard
properties tree has been set up in SAP EHS and that the phrase sets have been generated
to all text fields. The allocation of phrases to customer designed properties has to be done
manually.
If the explanation component shall be used and the phrase sets were generated
by the automatic customizing functionality "Create Standard Phrase Sets", it is necessary to remove the phrase set assignment manually at least from the characteristic
SAP_EHS_0101_002_RULESET. Otherwise the explanation cannot be stored in the specification database for later use.
Customers with an EHS 2.7B, 3.1, 3.2, ERP 5.0 (= ERP 2004), ERP 6.0 and ERP 6.0 EnhP
3 system must ensure that the earlier property tree packages have already been installed

SAP AG

Property Tree
before loading a new package. If the installation sequence is reversed, some of the changes
within the new package will be overwritten by older packages. An overview about the existing
property tree packages is given in the Appendix.
Customers with an EHS 2.7B system (on R/3 4.6C) have to import the specific help text
transport delivered for this release. If help text transports created for EHS 3.2 and higher
releases are imported in an EHS 2.7B system (on R/3 4.6C), technical problems can be caused
in the specification data base.
All classes where new characteristics are added or characteristics are changed should not
have been changed manually because these changes will be overwritten by the transports.
In addition, the flags and parameters of the existing value assignment types such as "CharCopy active", "New val. actv.", "Usage profile" etc. will be overwritten by the standard values
(for example Usage profile = PROF001) with the import of the transport requests which include the value assignment types . Therefore, if any of the classes, characteristics and value
assignment types mentioned in the files Changes_.....pdf do already exist or were changed
in the destination system, it is recommended to make a copy of them first before installing
this package. Furthermore, if the property trees STANDARD and OBSOLETE were changed
(which is not recommended), copies should be made of these property trees as well.
The import of the transport requests with the assignments to the property tree STANDARD and
OBSOLETE is optional. If the transport requests are not imported, the new properties have to
be assigned manually. Within EHS 2004, the property tree STANDARD was restructured and
the property tree OBSOLETE was newly created. The complete property trees STANDARD
and OBSOLETE for EHS 2004 are included in the package EHS 3.2/2004. The import files
with the assignments in the property tree packages EHS 2004/2005, ERP 6.0 EnhP 3, 2007-2
and 2008-1 are based on this structure in EHS 2004. Therefore, the property tree EHS 2004
has to be imported before importing the transport requests with the assignments of the more
recently generated property tree packages.

3.1.2. Content of Property Tree packages


Each EHS property tree package consists of the following parts:
List of changed and new properties and characteristics
Files for the R/3 Transport Management System (TMS) for new and changed classes, characteristics, value assignment types and positions in the property tree STANDARD (with English and German descriptors)
Since property tree package EHS 2004/2005: Files for the R/3 Transport Management System (TMS) for help texts (in English and German) for SAP Enterprise Releases (PLM 2.00
with EHS 3.2 or higher releases) and for EHS 2.7B in R/3 4.6C as separate transports.
Since property tree package EHS 2004/2005: Help texts in English and German as a text
document
A detailed list of transports and files delivered with the property tree package of the corresponding SAP EHS Regulatory Content Update is given in the Appendix.

3.2. Implementation
The following steps describe how to implement property tree packages. Please note that the
transports within a package or sub-package have to be imported in the order given in the

SAP AG

Property Tree
Appendix. The steps "Allocate phrase sets" and "Generate WWI symbols for reports" have to
be done after the import of the transports on each EHS system. The step "Setup Table-based
Value assignments" has to be performed for EHS 3.2 and higher releases only.

3.2.1. Upload property tree transport files


New and changed classes and characteristics as well as help texts are delivered as workbench
transport requests for the SAP Transport Management System. In addition to that, customizing
transports requests are delivered which contain the assignment of properties to the property
tree STANDARD.
Before property tree transport requests can be imported into an EHS system, the corresponding files have to be uploaded onto the SAP application server.
Please note that the file names of the transport requests for the SAP Transport Management
System have the following structure:
Co-files start with an "K"
Data files start with an "R"
The extension of a transport file stands for the name of the SAP system where the transport
request was created.
An example:
Transport request: SH2K102047
Co-file: K102047.SH2
Data file: R102047.SH2
The following chapter describes how the upload of property tree package transport files has
to be performed:

3.2.1.1. How to upload property tree transports files


The upload process consists of three steps:
1. Find out the directory name and path of the import queue for the SAP Transport Management System.
2. Load the transport files into the import directory using the transaction CG3Z.
3. Attach the transport request to the import queue
In the following, the three steps are described:
1. Find out the directory name and path of the import queue for the SAP Transport Management System.
You may ask your SAP system manager or proceed as follows:
Run transaction AL11.
The first part of the directory path is listed after the entry DIR_TRANS, for example "F:
\usr\sap\trans".
Within this directory two sub-directories exist:
The sub-directory "cofiles" where the co-files are stored.
The sub-directory "data" where the data files are stored.

SAP AG

Property Tree
2. Load the transport files into the import directory using the transaction CG3Z.
Start transaction CG3Z.
Enter in the field "Source file on front end" the transport file name including the complete
path on your computer or file server, for example "d:\transfer\K102047.SH2" for a co-file
or "d:\transfer\R102047.SH2" for a data file.
Enter in the field "Target file on application server" the same file name and the complete
path on the SAP Application Server which you found out in Step 1, for example "F:\usr
\sap\trans\cofiles\K102047.SH2" for a co-file or "F:\usr\sap\trans\data\R102047.SH2" for
a data file. Make sure to enter "BIN" in the field "Transfer format for data".
Start the upload process with the push button "Upload". When the upload process has
been successful a message appears.
3. Attach the transport request to the import queue
Navigate to the SAP Transport Management System (transaction STMS).
Choose push button "Import Overview (F5)".
Navigate to the transport domain of your SAP system: Position the cursor on the transport
domain and choose the push button "Display Import Queue" or choose "Double click".
Choose in the menu "Extras" -> "Other requests" -> "Add".
Enter in the field "Transp. Request" the name of the transport request, e.g.
"SH2K102047". The field "Import Queue" is already filled with the selected import queue.
Start the process with the push button "Continue". The transport request is added to the
bottom of the import queue with the highest number.
Please note that the listed "Owner" is the SAP user who created the transport request not
the login-user who started the upload process!

3.2.1.2. Settings
The files which need to be uploaded depend on the property tree package and are summarized
in the Appendix.

3.2.2. Import transports


This chapter describes in detail the import of transports and reports.

3.2.2.1. How to import transports (customizing or workbench)


If transports have been uploaded (cg3z) they should be available in the transport queue.
With the transaction "stms" you can import transports from the queue into the system.

10

SAP AG

Property Tree

On the second screen you will see a list of available queues (After pressing the van-icon).

Depending to your system you may have virtual transport queue(s) or not. The virtual queue
enables you to transfer transports between multiple systems if you uploaded the transports
into the virtual queue (and the systems are connected to the virtual queue).
Double click the queue you want to work with.
If you have uploaded the corresponding pair of files (co-file and datafile) to the appropriate
places they appear in the transport queue. If not you may use the menu ->"Extras->other

11

SAP AG

Property Tree
requests->add". Then you will get a dialog box to choose additional transport files to be shown
in the actual transport queue.
There is a naming convention :
Zxxxxxxx.yyy is the name of the file where Z is K for the co-file and R for the data file.
x is a numerical value. y is the extension. The extension is the System ID (i.e. SH2, TD3 ... )
After you uploaded the file you will find the files in the queue with a different name! In the
queue they will appear like:
yyyKxxxxxxx (The system ID as a prefix followed by the "K" of the co-files and the numeric
value.)
Example : K102002.SH2 and R102002.SH2 would be the filenames and the list entry would
be : SH2K102002
Setting filters :
To find the transports you may use a filter. The transports can be identified by user who created
the transport - not the user who did the upload!
Setting the filters is initiated by a mouse click on the column to be filtered and then a click on
the filter-icon. More than one filter can be defined. To delete a filter start the same way but in
the dialog click on the bin - icon.
To specify the transports to be imported use the 4th button (black arrow pointing to the red
button) you may mark more than one item. Be careful, some transports have dependencies
so those cannot be imported at once.
If the selection is complete start the import by pressing the van-icon with the small orange top
edge. A dialog will appear where you can give additional options. In most cases the standard
flags will be sufficient.
If you start the import you will see the van-symbol on the right side of the list of transports. If you
refresh the screen with the (first icon in the screen shot above) the van symbol will disappear
when the transport has finished.

3.2.2.2. Execute Reports


Additionally in case of importing a report the report has to be executed via transaction SA38.
Please start the ABAP program as described in the steps below:
1. Execute transaction SA38 ABAP: Execute Program
2. Choose the appropriate program name, e.g.

12

SAP AG

Property Tree

3. Execute the program (F8)


4. Depending on the program, you will get a screen with further options as next step or the
program will start immediately if no further settings are required

3.2.2.3. Settings
Please see which files are provided for import.

3.2.3. Allocate phrase sets


Neither new phrases nor phrase sets nor allocations of phrase sets to characteristics are delivered with a property tree package. In order to make use of new characteristics which were defined for phrases, phrase sets have to be set up and allocated to the new characteristics. This
chapter describes in detail how to set up and allocate phrase sets for these new characteristics. Please note that only characteristics have to be considered which are described as "new,
CHAR 30, multiple phrases" or "new, CHAR 30, single phrase" in the files "Changes_......pdf".

3.2.3.1. How to allocate phrase sets


There are two ways to generate phrase sets:
1. Manual generation and allocation of phrase sets
2. During an initial setup: Customizing activity "Generate Standard Phrase Sets"
In the following, both ways are described:
1. Manual generation and allocation of phrase sets
Ensure that no one is working with the affected property tree or is using the affected the
properties and characteristics in the EHS specification workbench.
Run transaction CGCZ "Match Up Master Data" with flag "Match Up ValAss Type and
Char." only. This function determines all characteristics to which phrases can be assigned
- that are characteristics of type CHAR 30. These characteristics are transferred to the
table Phrase set - Attribute assignment (transaction CGAB).

13

SAP AG

Property Tree

Choose transaction CG1B "Edit phrase sets" and create manually phrase sets for all
characteristics which are described in the file "Changes....pdf" as "new, CHAR 30, multiple phrases" or new, CHAR 30, single phrase. Enter the characteristic key as the new
phrase set key. Add appropriate phrases to the new phrase sets. Exceptions are characteristics such as "Accuracy" or "GLP". For these characteristics, phrase sets already
exist (SAP_EHS_XXXX_XXX_PREC, SAP_EHS_XXXX_XXX_GLP) and can directly be
assigned.
Customers of SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard
communication receive the allocation of phrases to phrase sets of new characteristics
with the corresponding update.
Choose transaction CGAB "Edit phrase set-attribute assignment". Assign all new phrase
sets to the appropriate characteristics.
Run transaction CGCZ "Match up master data" with flag "Activate Phrasing of Characteristics." only. This function assigns the function module
C14K_PHRASECHARACT_CHECK to all phrase-related characteristics. This enables
the system to call an assigned phrase set in the specification data base.

14

SAP AG

Property Tree
2. During an initial setup: Customizing activity "Generate Standard Phrase Sets"
Ensure that no one is working with the affected property tree or is using the affected the
properties and characteristics in the EHS specification workbench.
If an EHS system is set up initially the customizing activity "Generate Standard Phrase
Sets" is used in general to create and allocate phrase sets to all characteristics of type
CHAR 30.
Navigate to the activity "Generate Standard Phrase Sets" in the SAP customizing (IMDG)
(path within EHS 3.2 and higher releases: Environment, Health & Safety -> Basic Data and
Tools -> Specification Management -> Specification Data Base Structure -> Settings for
Value Assignment). A complete overview about this activity is given in the corresponding
IMDG activity documentation.
Start the activity.
Phrase sets are generated and allocated to all characteristics of type CHAR 30. Phrases
are not allocated to the new phrase sets. Assignments of phrase sets to characteristics
that already exist are not overwritten by the system.
Some characteristics defined as CHAR 30 are not meant to be assigned to phrase sets,
for example "Value in Non-Standard Unit". These characteristics shall be used to store a
numerical value and a unit but were unfortunately defined as a free text fields of CHAR
30. In this case, the assigned phrase set has to be deleted in the table "Edit phrase
set-attribute assignment" (transaction CGAB) after the standard phrase sets have been
created.
Run transaction CGCZ "Match up master data" with flag "Activate Phrasing of Characteristics" only. This function assigns the function module
C14K_PHRASECHARACT_CHECK to all phrase-related characteristics. This enables the system to call an assigned phrase set in the specification data base.
If the phrase set was deleted in the table "Edit phrase set-attribute assignment" (transaction CGAB) before carrying out this transaction, then the function module
C14K_PHRASECHARACT_CHECK is deleted in the corresponding CHAR 30-characteristic and this characteristic can be filled as a free text field.

3.2.3.2. Settings
Phrase sets have to be allocated to new characteristics which are described as "new, CHAR
30, multiple phrases" or "new, CHAR 30, single phrase" in the files "Changes_......pdf". The
15

SAP AG

Property Tree
corresponding characteristic key can be found in the files "Changes_.....pdf" as mentioned in
the Appendix.

3.2.4. Generate WWI symbols for reports


In order to print out the content of new characteristics on a WWI report symbols have to be
created for all new characteristics, which can be used in the definition of WWI templates. This
chapter describes in detail how to generate WWI symbols.

3.2.4.1. How to create WWI report symbols


Run transaction CGCZ "Match up master data" with flag "Generate Symbols" only. This will
generate the necessary new WWI symbols for the new characteristics.

Additional information:
In a standard R/3 System symbols are generated with descriptions in the logon language. The
flag "Regenerate Symbol Descriptions" within transaction CGCZ can be used to generate the
symbol descriptions in another language different from the logon language.
If the transaction CGCZ is run with the flag "Match Up Symbols-Phrase-Enabled Characteristics" the symbol definitions for the characteristic symbols that have been changed from phraserelated to non-phrase-related (or vice versa) will be updated..

3.2.5. Set up Table-based Value Assignment (EHS 3.2 and


higher releases)
In EHS 3.2 and higher releases, specification data are entered in the specification data base in
a table on the "Value assignments" tab page. The fields of a property which are to be displayed
in the data entry table are specified in the customizing activity "Set up Table-based Value
Assignment".
Therefore, for EHS 3.2 and higher releases the new and changed properties have to be configured for the Table-Based Value Assignment. This step is NOT necessary for EHS 2.7B!
For new properties the Table-Based Value Assignment has to be set up newly. For existing
properties were new characteristics were assigned the already existing Table-Based Value

16

SAP AG

Property Tree
Assignment has to be extended. This chapter describes in detail how to set up the Table-based
Value Assignment in both cases.
Please note, that the property keys of new and extended properties can be found in the files
"Changes_.....pdf" as mentioned in the Appendix.

3.2.5.1. How to set up the Table-based Value Assignment


There are two ways to set up the Table-based Value Assignment:
1. Set up Table-based Value Assignment for new properties
2. Set up Table-based Value Assignment for existing properties with new characteristics
In the following, both ways are described:
1. Set up Table-based Value Assignment for new properties
1.1. Navigate to the activity "Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment" in the SAP customizing (IMG) (path within EHS 3.2 and higher releases: Environment, Health & Safety ->
Basic Data and Tools -> Specification Management -> Specification Data Base Structure
-> Settings for Value Assignment -> Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment). A complete
overview about this activity is given in the corresponding IMG activity documentation.
1.2. Start the activity. The following screen appears:

1.3. Choose the entry "Create Entries for the Value Assignments". The window "Filling
Customizing Table for Table-based Value Assignment" appears:

17

SAP AG

Property Tree

1.4. Enter a property key of a new property or a series of property keys in the field "Value
assgmt type" and start the process (pushbutton "Execute").
A general example for a property key is SAP_EHS_1023_043 (for property "GHS Classification"). Select the property keys of the new properties within a specific property tree
package from the file "Changes_.....pdf". The file name for a specific property tree package can be found in the Appendix.
Please avoid to execute this process with the same property key multiple times because
this would create multiple entries in the customizing table!
1.5. Return to the previous window (push button "Back"):

18

SAP AG

Property Tree
1.6. Choose the entry "Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment". The complete customizing table opens. Check all entries for the configured property/properties:
1.7. Return to the previous window (push button "Back"):
1.8. Repeat the steps 1.2 to 1.7 to create the necessary entries for all new properties.
2. Set up Table-based Value Assignment for existing properties with new characteristics
For EHS 3.2 and higher releases you have to change the configuration of existing properties where new characteristics were added and which were already configured for the Table-Based Value Assignment. The recommended procedure is to delete all entries for existing properties with new characteristics in the customizing table and to create the entries
for these properties again (see the following steps 2.1 to 2.14).
If the configuration of the Table-Based Value Assignment for properties with new characteristics was already changed, then these changes should be documented before deleting the
entries. In this case, an alternative could be not to delete all entries for a changed property
but to update the Table-Based Value Assignment for the existing property only (follow steps
1.1 to 1.8). Then, the new characteristics would be appended to the already existing entries
for this property. The correct order of the characteristics would have to be set up manually.
Please note, that the Table-based Value Assignment customizing table can only be changed
in SAP systems where the direct customizing is enabled. If the direct customizing is disabled
(for example in a production system), then the Table-based Value Assignment should be set
up in a system where the direct customizing is enabled (for example a development system).
The correct entries can be then transported to the system with the disabled customizing
(customizing transport).
2.1. Navigate to the activity "Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment" in the SAP customizing (IMG) (path within EHS 3.2 and higher releases: Environment, Health & Safety ->
Basic Data and Tools -> Specification Management -> Specification Data Base Structure
-> Settings for Value Assignment -> Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment). A complete
overview about this activity is given in the corresponding IMG activity documentation.
2.2. Start the activity. The following screen appears:

2.3. Choose the entry "Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment". The complete customizing table opens.
2.4. Choose the push button "Position", enter a property key of an existing property with
new characteristics and navigate to this property. Select the property key from the file
"Changes_.....pdf". The specific file name for a certain property tree package can be found
in the Appendix.
2.5. Select all entries for this property.
2.6. Delete the selected entries (push button "Delete").
2.7. Return to the previous window:
2.8. Choose the entry "Create Entries for the Value Assignments". The window "Filling
Customizing Table for Table-based Value Assignment" appears:

2.11. Return to the previous window:
2.12. Choose the entry "Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment" again. The customizing
table opens. Check all entries for the configured property:
2.13. Return to the previous window (push button "Back"):

Chapter 4. SAP EHS Regulatory


Content - multilanguage phrase
library for hazard communication
4.1. General Information
SAP provides Multilanguage Phrase Libraries, previously known as CED (Chemical Exchange
Directory) Catalogue. This is a collection of more than 9.000 phrases for product safety issues
in currently 41 languages, 31 of them for EMEA and Americas. Data is delivered in the EHS
import format, which can then be loaded directly into the customer's SAP EHS system.
Update deliveries include enhancements, customer proposals and corrections to the phrase
library and delivery of new languages.

4.1.1. Prerequisites
The latest version of the CED phrase library needs to be imported according to the respective
sections in this documentation.
Most Expert Rules for Substance and Mixture Classification delivered with a SAP EHS Regulatory Content update will require the latest phrase library version.
To determine which CED catalogue is current, have a look at Customizing -> Environment,
Health and Safety -> Basic Data and Tools -> Phrase Management -> Specify Phrase Libraries
and Phrase Groups. Choose the CED library and have a look at details.

4.1.2. Structure of CED phrase catalogue for EHS


4.1.2.1. Phrase groups
The phrases of the CED Phrase Library are divided into the following phrase groups analogous
to the chapters of an European safety data sheet in the version before REACh 2007. Change
of the sections 2 and 3 did not result in change of the phrase groups in the CED library as this
would have caused changes of phrase keys as well and therefore was not acceptable.
Please see annex for further information on phrase groups.

4.1.2.2. Phrase keys


The assignment of phrase keys is based on a content dependent systematic. Please see annex
for details.

4.1.2.3. Allocation of bitmaps to phrases


At present the CED-EHS-library contains the allocations of the hazard symbols to the correspondent phrases.
If a customer has maintained own graphics by allocation of bitmaps to phrases these allocations will be overwritten by an update. The same applies for the fields phrase code and phrase
remark at the phrase item level!

23

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard communication

4.1.2.4. Phrase sets (PAWM)


The standard phrase sets are set up of the same name as the phrase based characteristics
of the EHS standard properties tree.
The phrase set assignments of the CED Phrase Library are based on the latest SAP EHS
properties tree.

4.1.3. Language/Codepage/Font
4.1.3.1. Prerequisites / important notes
Prior to importing an update, it may be necessary to extend the language setup of your SAP
R/3. Please see the CED release notes that come with each update for information on which
new languages will be added with the update.
The new language(s) must be added in EHS customizing.
To make US English available for all customers including those with non-unicode systems
we decided to deliver this language with a language code coming from the customers reserve.
Please maintain the correspondence language Z8 (master language should be English) in
your system using transaction SE38 and RSCPCOLA and RSCPINST. More information on
this can be found in Note 302063.
If Z8 is already used as language in your system, please contact us for further assistance.
Do not import the US English file in this case!
To make Brazilian available for all customers including those with non-unicode systems we
decided to deliver this language with a language code coming from the customers reserve.
Please maintain the correspondence language Z9 (master language should be Portuguese)
in your system using transaction SE38 and RSCPCOLA and RSCPINST. More information
on this can be found in Note 302063.
If Z9 is already used as language in your system, please contact us for further assistance.
Do not import the Brazilian file in this case!
Mexican, Canadian, Vietnamese, Hindi and Philippine (Tagalog) will only be available as
Unicode languages. Please make sure the import file for Unicode files are NOT opened as
this might destroy the data due to incorrect conversion of characters!
For Hindi please make sure your Regional Options in Windows are set up including Hindi
as the SAP GUI uses the Windows code pages to display these language symbols.
In Windows XP please check "Install files for complex script and right-to-left languages (including Thai)" and "Install files for East Asia languages".

4.1.3.2. Classification of phrase languages into different groups


CED phrases are provided in language groups according to the character sets they are based
upon. The different translations of the CED phrases are based on six different character sets
for the standard library. Therewith the translations can be divided into six language subgroups
according to their character sets as shown in the appendix (Languages/Codepages). The ISO
norm character set ISO 8859-1 is often referred to as ISO Latin 1.
Character sets are implemented on computer systems using code pages. Unfortunately, the
code pages of different systems are based in general on different character sets. SAP R/3 code

24

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard communication
pages are based on the ISO norm character set whereas MS Windows NT or MS Windows
95 use a Microsoft format character set as basis for their code pages. Microsoft code pages
follow to an extent the ANSI norm. In general, the code pages from Microsoft differ from standard SAP R/3 code pages. An exception is the code page for Western European languages
which are identical for SAP R/3 and Microsoft.
CED phrases are provided in the Microsoft format using the Microsoft code page. No special
precautions have to be taken into account for western European languages (Latin code page).
In contrast to that, the handling of the other languages is more complicated. It is important to
note that Latin characters without any special characters are incorporated in each code page.
The fonts presented in the table are the fonts in which the phrases are supplied. In addition,
the corresponding language group specific true type fonts for Times New Roman and Courier
New provided for MS Windows NT 4.0 are also based on the Microsoft norm and can also
be used for the presentation of texts of the language group 3. Other fonts have to be tested
by the customer.
There are certain languages that can only be provided for Unicode systems as Hindi or Canadian French. Traditional Chinese will be provided as non Unicode file also, but please be aware
that not all characters are supported by the non Unicode version. Due to this we decided to
deliver Traditional Chinese as Unicode language.
Serbian (Serbocroatian with central European code page) comes with a language key d as
proposed by SAP; a Serbocroatain version using language key 0 is available on request for
customers that have maintained this as such. Normally 0 should be used for the cyrillic version
of Serbian. This cyrillic version is not within the scope of the CED languages.
Please see appendix (Languages/Codepages) for further information on code pages and necessary fonts.

4.1.3.3. Handling of different code pages within SAP R/3


In general, R/3 data are stored in SAP R/3 in the ISO norm. In case of a language that belongs
to a language group with a code page other than Western European, Microsoft and SAP code
pages differ. Therefore, a conversion takes place between the front end and the R/3 application
server. In order to do that, the SAP Native Language Support (NLS) has to be used.

4.1.3.4. Setup of language keys for phrase items within the phrase administration
All different language keys within the R/3 system are delivered by SAP as standard settings
which the customer must not change. The following language keys have to be adjusted in
the customizing for the phrase management (Specify language selection) to ensure a correct
allocation of translations to phrase items during the library import. These settings apply to R/3
3.x as well as to R/3 4.x (up to R/3 4.5A).
The language keys are presented as two characters in the R/3 application with release R/3
4.x and higher. Internally they are still handled as one character codes. Before presentation
of the language codes during the application they are internally converted. Therefore single
character language keys are still applied in the import file up to R/3 4.5A
4.1.3.4.1. Language keys of Western European phrase translations
Please see annex (Language keys) for additional information on SAP EHS language keys for
western european languages.

Please see annex (Language keys) for additional information on SAP EHS language keys for
other languages.

4.1.4. Proposals
4.1.4.1. Proposals for changes, corrections or expansions
Proposals for additional phrases of general interest or improvements of existing phrases
are welcome. If you want to pass a proposal on to us please use the proposal sheet
Phrase_Services_Proposals.xls and attach the maintained file to a new issue in our helpdesk
system. If you rely on regulatory documents or have any other source for your phrase proposal
it is always helpful to attach this information and the related document as well.

4.1.4.2. Correction of mistakes


In case you find an spelling error you are also welcome to pass this information on to us. We
will get back to you as soon as possible with an information on if and how the phrase texts
should be corrected. Please do not change CED phrases without this process as these might
be overwritten in one of the next updates.

4.1.5. Content of Phrases packages


The phrase delivery contains importfiles in Windows and Unix format for direct use in SAP
EHS. For a complete overview of all multilanguage phrase library files included in this delivery,
please see the list of phrases files.

4.2. Implementation
To make use of the phrases following steps have to be done: Create passive phrase catalogue
CED, upload the delivered files and import phrases. The following chapters describe how to
do this.

4.2.1. Create passive phrase catalogue CED


First of all the passive phrase catalogue CED has to be created.

4.2.1.1. How to create passive phrase catalogues


To create a passive phrase catalogue start the IMG customizing (transaction spro) navigate
to Environment, Health & Safety -> Basic Data and Tools -> Phrase management -> Specify
Phrase Libraries and Phrase Groups.
Requirements : You have already defined the number ranges for the phrase key.

Note
One library has to be the active library.
It is possible to adopt phrase libraries from non-SAP systems.

26

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard communication
You can use all libraries available on the market that support the conversion formats
of the SAP component Environment, Health and Safety (EHS).
Following entries must be made:

4.2.2. Upload files


This chapter describes which files have to be uploaded and how this upload has to be performed.

4.2.2.1. How to upload files


Upload all phrase import files and the phrase set assignment file from your local drive to the
application server.
Ask your administrator for the upload path on your application server. You may check for the
path also via transaction AL11.
For example :
\\<server>\ \\Globaltrans\trans or F:\usr\sap\trans\upload
Use transaction CG3Z for uploading and choose BIN(ary) transfer format as shown in the
screen shot below.

Size of path and filename is limited. It may be necessary to either shorten the import file names
or choose a short directory path to upload the files.

27

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard communication
Please check that you upload the correct files for the operating system of your application
server. The update delivery includes import files formatted for MS Windows and UNIX. You
can get info about the OS in R/3 at -> System -> Status. Under the "Host data" header you can
see the operating system used by the R/3 server. You may also have to consider if Unicode
or Non Unicode system.
The upload of import files onto the application server and the import into EHS are completely
independent from any language specific settings on the front-end PC, i.e. phrases can be
uploaded and imported with every regional default setting.

4.2.2.2. Load of import files into EHS


Apart from the special settings which are necessary for a correct display the import file can be
loaded into the system according to the previous descriptions as update of the passive CED
phrase library.
4.2.2.2.1. Editing the header entries of the import file
In general changes to the importfiles are not recommended.
In case an importfiles has to be altered for special reasons, please use a text editor as Notepad
or Textpad to display and edit the files.
Apart from changes to header data (e.g. library date) no changes must be made within the
import file! The library key must contain characters from the English alphabet only (no special
characters).
Warning:
Do not open unicode files! They could be destroyed due to character conversion when opening
the files with an improper tool.
4.2.2.2.2. Special features concerning languages with differing codepages
The import of translations beyond the Western European codepage into a system that already
contains Western European phrases is to be handled as a library update . As the allocation
of phrases to phrase sets is language independent it has not to be updated when the phrase
set allocation has been loaded before.

4.2.3. Import phrases


After uploading the files, the phrases will be imported in EHS in the passive phrase catalogue,
merged up with the active catalogue and assigned to the phrase sets.

4.2.3.1. How to import phrases


Choose Data Transfer - > Phrases (Transaction CG31) ; please see screen shot below.
"File with path" - Enter the path and file name (same as target file section upload files )
"Character standard" - Choose MS-NT for all files that have no _unicode.dat ending in their
filename; this applies also to unicode systems!
For files with unicode only languages ( with _unicode.dat ending in their filename) choose
UTF-8 as character standard.

28

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard communication
You can leave all other options blank
Optional: You can limit the import to certain languages if you want (Button "Language selection" )
Check the file (F5)
Carefully check the displayed information before importing the phrases. Make sure you import to the passive CED or TDCLE library, the versions are correct and no errors are displayed.
If necessary approve the message "Date of phr. lib. to be imported is identical to date of
current library", this is just for your information.
However if the file you want to import is older than the library in your system, you can not
import it. Please make sure you have chosen the correct import file. In section upload files
you can also find information on how to change the header data of your import files.
Choose "Transfer/start time" (F6)
Choose "Immediate" or specify a time
Save

Note
For the TDCLE phrase library you have the choice to import either a single unicode
file including all languages, except for American English and Canadian French, or
separate import files based on the language group.
Due to the size of the phrase library and technical limitations with the phrase import
functionality, the option of a single import file for all languages is currently not available for the CED library.
Phrase import files for CED and TDCLE libraries include all phrases of the library,
not only those that are new or updated. Please be aware that all manual changes
made in your CED or TDCLE phrases will be overwritten.

Caution
Please do not set the flag for full import as this will delete your
passive library!

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard communication

4.2.3.2. How to merge phrases


To merge phrases from a passive catalogue into the active, use transaction cg12 and start
with :
1. Select the phrases to be merged.
If you are updating your phrase library, we recommend to restrict the phrase selection to
only new and revised phrases. Please use the Phrase created/changed... functionality with
the settings shown in the screenshot:

30

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard communication

2. Go to the menu bar ->extras->merge

and select merge.


3. Pressing the "Adopt phrase ID" Button you will take the same phrase IDs into the active
catalogue as you have in the passive one.

31

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard communication

Note
It is not recommended to press the "Determine target phrase" - button as this may
select phrases as target phrases that are not appropriate or may not have e.g. all
language translations.

Note
The merging process normally does not perform well when processing several thousand phrases at one time. Therefore, we strongly recommend that only a part of the
phrase library is merged at one time (e.g. filtered by phrase groups or phrase keys).

4.2.3.3. How to import phrase set assignments


Prior to importing phrase set assignments, the phrases have to be merged into the active
library. After uploading the phrase set assignment file, the assignments should to be imported
into SAP EHS.
Choose Data Transfer - > Phrases (Transaction CG31)
"File with path" - Enter the path and file name (same as target file section upload files )
Check the "Phrase Set Assignmt" option as shown in the screenshot below
Check the file (F5)

32

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard communication

Sometimes none or only a few assignments are imported. If you encounter this error, the first
step would be to run this import several times until no more phrases are assigned to phrase
sets. If this does not help an easy work-around is to change the name of the phrase library in
the import file to the name of your active library. Upload and import this modified file. In section
upload files you can also find information on how to change the header data of your import files.
As the phrase set assignment files are based on the latest SAP EHS standard property tree
there will be warnings in the logfile of the import if your system is not updated with the latest
standard property tree. These warnings can usually be ignored. Customers with valid maintenance contracts for SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules for substance and mixture
classification or - substance lists and reference data receive the latest tree as part of their

33

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard communication
regular maintenance. Should you need any additional info on this topic please feel free to
contact us.

4.2.4. Individual changes on CED phrases


This chapter provides information how to create phrase variants.

4.2.4.1. How to create phrase variants


In the phrase library there are several phrases including.? in the phrase text, e.g. .?C. If you
wish to use such a phrases with a specified temperature e.g. 10C, please create a variant
of this phrase.
To do so, create a hit list with the original phrase, mark the phrase and create a copy
(Phrase_CopyTemplate). Then choose a new phrase key starting with P (for permutation) and
safe the new phrase.
Replace the ? in each language of the new P phrase with the chosen number or customer
specific information, in this case 10, and safe again.
Please do not alter the original CED phrase as your changes might be overwritten in one of
the following updates.
It is also possible to replace the qualifier .? automatically by using special user exits at the
phrase. Please see SAP Note 1373615 for more information.
In addition there is a standard functionality for special qualifiers available, that may insert phrases like target organs into another phrase.
Example:
"Causes damage to organs (/$/*_ORG_SING_ORAL/$/) if swallowed." The functionality
would replace the placeholder with the values stored in *_ORG_SING_ORAL (e.g. in
SAP_EHS_1023_044 GHS Target Organs for single exposure, oral). Please note that this
functionality might not work correctly in all languages, because the value used might have an
impact on the wording of the phrase in some languages. It usually works in most Western
and Eastern European languages. Until now, this functionality is able to manage phrases only.
Other values as e.g. numerical ones are not yet covered.
Please see SAP Note 146663 Placeholder phrases for EH&S reports for details on how to
implement the placeholder functionality and how to use it in phrases and WWI templates.

4.2.4.2. Adding of customer specific phrase groups


Customer specific phrase groups within an active library can only have alphanumeric codes
as CED uses numeric coded phrase groups only (e.g. X.... or Y.....). The CED phrase groups
18.00 Reserve 1 and 19.00 Reserve 2 are only available for CED!

4.2.4.3. Customer specific changes / extensions of phrases


There are no other changes on the CED library allowed than the described correction of spelling
or grammar mistakes. All changes will be overwritten with the following update. In case the
customer wants to modify an existing CED phrase or add a new phrase he must copy it to
new own phrase key.

34

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard communication
These phrase keys must not be within the CED name space! For this two possibilities are
available:
a) The new phrases can be added using the automatic key assignment. In this case the system
itself assigns the phrase keys automatically from the internal number range (0I). However if
these phrases shall be transferred to any other system later on there might be the danger of
overlapping phrase keys concerning the automatically edited keys and the keys of the target
system. An automatic phrase import would then not directly be possible. The phrases had
rather to be loaded as passive library and then to be merged into the active library.
b) New phrases can be added using keys from the external number range (0E). To make these
customer phrases distinguishable from CED phrases the corresponding customer phrase keys
have to start with X or Y only with the exception of those phrases beginning with P (see below).

4.2.4.4. Adding CED permutations


The CED-library contains about sixty phrases with a question mark within the text. These
phrases can be completed as defined by the customer. Example: N15.00511320 "Keep at
temperature not exceeding .?C.. In order to enable a specific usage of this phrase the customer has to copy his desired permutation to a new phrase key beginning with P (permutation).
Example:
P15.00511320 "Keep at temperature not exceeding 25C.
P15.00511321 "Keep at temperature not exceeding 30C.
After the question mark has been replaced by the desired value in every phrase item the phrase
is available within the complete scope of translations.
In case the question mark does not symbolize a numeric value but one or several words (e.g.
N07.00312430 "Keep contents under .?) CED offers a customer specific translation service
on demand (subject to extra charges).
In addition to that, from EHS 2.5B on the functionality is available to replace the placeholder ?
by a value from a different field in the EHS properties tree.

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


Transport category
The following chapters describe the initial implementation of SAP EHS Regulatory Content. If
you are using both Product Safety and Dangerous Goods data, you have to do all steps twice,
for each package separately. If the process is different for Product Safety and Dangerous
Goods, it will be mentioned in the documentation.

5.1.1. Prerequisites
The substance lists and reference data require additional customizing activities. These customizing entries are described in the respective area in this documentation's appendix. It is
recommended to perform these steps before implementing the substance lists and reference
data.
The following prerequisites exist for implementing and using substance lists and reference
data:
If substance lists and reference data is used with the Expert Rules, the latest data should be
loaded before running the Expert Rules.
This implies importing the newest phrases, too, which is a prerequisite for loading the data
correctly.
If the latest Expert Rules are run on old data, wrong results may be determined.

5.1.2. Schematic Diagram Open Content Connector

5.2.1. EHS OCC


The following steps describe how to install and configure EHS OCC.

5.2.1.1. Install EHS OCC


On each front-end computer that is used for substance lists and reference data loads, SAP
EHS Open Content Connector (OCC) needs to be installed. OCC in the latest version is part
of the SAP EHS Expert installation package.

39

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


If your current OCC version is lower than Service Pack 18, we highly recommend that you upgrade all OCC installations to this version. See the Release Notes document for new features
of the latest OCC version.
5.2.1.1.1. What is EHS OCC
EHS OCC or OCC is the abbreviation for SAP EHS Open Content Connector.
OCC is an interface based on an open XML format which allows content providers to provide
regulatory content and other data into SAP EHS specifications.
OCC is part of SAP EHS and does not require an additional license. OCC is bundled with
SAP EHS Expert into the same setup package and shares some common functionalities and
program files with Expert.
OCC offers functionalities for manual single substance data loads, automatic mass loads, as
well as update and simulation functionalities.
5.2.1.1.2. Where to get EHS OCC
You will find the installation program for EHS OCC on the current SAP Server Components
CD.
The current EHS OCC Version and patches for EHS OCC are also available on the SAP
Support Portal on SAP Service Marketplace. You can find the patches for EHS OCC on SAP
Service Marketplace under 'Support Packages & Patches' (http://service.sap.com/patches)
Detailed information on how to obtain the latest version of OCC can be found in SAP note
568302.
5.2.1.1.3. How to install EHS OCC
On each front-end computer that is used for loads of SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance
lists and reference data, SAP EHS Open Content Connector (OCC) needs to be installed.
OCC in the latest version is part of the SAP EHS Expert installation package. If your current
OCC version is lower than Service Pack 20, we highly recommend that you upgrade all OCC
installations to this version. See the SAP EHS Regulatory Content Release Notes document
for new features of this OCC version.

Detailed information how to create and test a RFC connection can be found in the following
chapters.
5.2.1.2.1. Why do you need a RFC connection
EHS OCC is an Microsoft Windows PC program that is executed on the front-end computer
and not on the SAP EHS application server. This program communicates via RFC connection
with the EHS database using a standardized BAPI interface.
5.2.1.2.2. How to setup a RFC connection
The Remote Function Call destination (RFC destination) in the SAP system has to be set up for
EHS Expert and OCC. It is recommended to use the EHS Administration Service and therefore
a RFC destination for the Administration Server has to be set up additionally.
To set up a RFC destination choose from the SAP Easy Access screen Tools --> Administration --> Network --> RFC Destination (transaction sm59). The Display and Maintain RFC Destination screen appears. Then setup the RFC connection for the EHS Service Administration,
the EHS Expert and OCC as follows:

5.2.2. SAP EHS Customizing


The use of OCC as interface requires some additional settings in SAP customizing. In addition,
substance lists and reference data makes use of SAP EHS customizing settings that are not
part of the SAP standard and which need to be added.
The following customizing tasks are described below:

Setting up a secondary data determination user exit


Adding data origins
Adding a passive phrase library
Adding user defined text types
Adding regulatory lists
Adding literature sources
Adding identifier types
Adding dangerous goods master data settings
Checking validity areas
Extending the specification search functionality

5.2.2.1. Secondary Data Determination User Exit


In order to use OCC to load data into the specification database, a secondary data determination user exit must be created in SAP EHS customizing. Product Safety and Dangerous Goods
content package require two separate user exits.

45

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


The required user exits are included in the customizing transport Basic Customizing of each
content package for substance lists and reference data. As an alternative, you can create the
user exits manually with the description below.

sets are explicitly given in the functional description of the rule set and in the appendix for SAP
EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data.
Activities
1. In Customizing for Basic Data and Tools, call the IMG activity Manage User Exits.
2. Create a new user exit with user exit category SUB_SEDACA using
C1E5_SUB_EXPERT_EVALUATE as Function Module (copy the entry of a DEMO-rule set
as template for your new user exit).

3. Choose Parameters and Values.

46

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


The following environment parameters must be set up for the reference modules
C1E5_SUB_EXPERT_EVALUATE:
EXPERT_COMMIT_MODE
Specifies the backup mode for secondary data determination by the EHS Expert.
If you enter the value I, the SAP system creates the new data records that were determined
by the EHS Expert without changing other data records.
If you enter the value D, the SAP system deletes all the existing data records and creates
the newly determined data. If the EXPERT_RES_BY_SRSID_OWNID_FLG parameter is
set, then only those data records are deleted that were determined during previous runs of
the EHS Expert. Using the data origin (parameter EXPERT_WRITE_SOURCE_ID) and the
data provider (parameter EXPERT_WRITE_OWNER) the SAP system recognizes which
data was determined previously by the EHS Expert.

Note
You can determine the address number of the data provider in Customizing for Basic
Data and Tools in the IMG activity Specify Authorization Groups. To do this, call the
input help for the Data prov. field in the IMG activity. You will find the value you require
in the Addr. no. field. The address number is not displayed in address management
in the Product Safety component.
If you enter the value C the SAP system resets the active indicator for the newest of the
data records and deletes all other existing ones. The number of data records to be deactivated can be derived from the parameter EXPERT_NUM_OF_DEACT_VALUATION.
The data records that were newly determined by the EHS Expert are also created. If the
EXPERT_RES_BY_SRSID_OWNID_FLG parameter is set, then only those data records
are deleted that were determined during previous runs of the EHS Expert. This helps
you prevent data records being deleted inadvertently. The SAP system uses the data origin (parameter EXPERT_WRITE_SOURCE_ID) and the data provider (parameter
EXPERT_WRITE_OWNER) to recognize which data was determined previously by the EHS
Expert.
EXPERT_DESTINATION
Corresponds with the name of the RFC destination that is entered under Tools -> Administration -> Administration -> Network -> RFC Destinations (transaction SM59) (for example
EHS_EXPERT).
EXPERT_READ_RATING and EXPERT_READ_VALIDITY_AREA
Determine the rating and validity area for which the data is transferred from the SAP system
to the EHS Expert.
EXPERT_WRITE_RATING and EXPERT_WRITE_VALIDITY_AREA
Determine the rating and validity area with which the data determined is stored in the SAP
system. In the EHS Expert set of rules you can also specifically define a different rating and
validity area that are used when storing data in the system.
EXPERT_READ_USAGE_1...n and EXPERT_WRITE_USAGE_1...n
These parameters can be used in addition to the two previous parameter pairs. You can
specify any number of usages in the format VACLID/RVLID/EXCLFLG (rating/validity/exclude indicator). The parameter numbering has to start with 1 and has to be consecutive.

47

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


Examples
EXPERT_READ_USAGE_1:PUBLIC/REG_EU EXPERT_READ_USAGE_2:PUBLIC/DE/X
In this example, the system reads all data records that are valid in the EU but not in Germany.
EXPERT_WRITE_USAGE_1:PUBLIC/REG_EU
EXPERT_WRITE_USAGE_2:PUBLIC/US
In this example, the system writes all data records that are valid both for the EU and for
the USA.
EXPERT_WRITE_SOURCE_ID
Data origin that must be created in the IMG activity Specify Data Origin.
If no data origin is created, the system issues an error.
EXPERT_RULE_SET
Name of the rule set
The following environment parameters can be set up for the reference module
C1E5_SUB_EXPERT_EVALUATE (not all possible parameters are described here):
EXPERT_COMMIT_FLG
If you set this indicator to X, the system calls the update function specified in the parameter
EXPERT_COMMIT_FUNCTION after the calculation is finished on the Expert server.
If you do not set this indicator, the EHS Expert server directly calls the update function. In
a productive system, we recommend that you set the indicator so that the Expert server is
available again more quickly for other parallel calls. During development and testing it may
be useful to not set the indicator, so that error messages from the update function are logged
in the log files and so you have the option of displaying the runtime of the update function
on the console or in the event display.
EXPERT_NUM_OF_DEACT_VALUATION
Determines the number of data records that are not deleted for save mode C, but are set
to inactive.
EXPERT_PARAMETER_CHANGE_MODE
If you enter the value S (default), the SAP system displays the Determine Secondary Data dialog box in display mode when starting secondary data determination using the EHS
Expert.
If you enter the value E you can revise the environment parameters in the Determine Secondary Data dialog box when starting secondary data determination using the EHS Expert.
The environment parameters you specified in Customizing are displayed as default values.
If you enter the value H the SAP system does not display the Determine Secondary Data
dialog box when starting secondary data determination using the EHS Expert.
EXPERT_RES_BY_SRSID_OWNID_FLG
Set this indicator if in backup modes C or D only data is to be deleted by the EHS Expert
that was determined during previous runs of the EHS Expert.

48

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data

Warning
If you do not set this indicator, data that has also been entered manually or imported
can be deleted in backup mode C or D by the EHS Expert during secondary data
determination.
EXPERT_WRITE_OWNER
Data provider that you must have created in the SAP component Product Safety under Tools
-> Addresses -> Edit Data Providers. The data provider must always be entered with 10
digits.
If you do not specify a data provider, the SAP system uses the authorization group for the
specification to determine the respective data provider (see IMG activity Specify Authorization Groups). If the SAP system does not find any data providers there, it creates the data
without a data provider.
EXPERT_HIDDEN_PROCESSING_MODE
You can choose between two operating modes.
ONLINE (default): The EHS Expert run starts immediately after you choose Execute.
BACKGROUND: The EHS Expert runs as a background job. The indicator for the parameter
EXPERT_ASK_FOR_STARTTIME must be set for the start time prompt.
EXPERT_ASK_FOR_STARTTIME
If you set this indicator, you will be prompted in a dialog box when the EHS Expert is to start
as a background job.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_1...n
You can pass any number of parameters to the set of rules. This means you can make sets
of rules configurable. In the set of rules you must create a fact for this purpose that is mapped
to the external ID P:I_TAB_PARAM in fact mapping.
EXPERT_WRITE_RUN_DATE
With this parameter, the Expert will write the current date with each run of
the given Expert rule: Enter the value X here, and set the further parameters EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT, EXPERT_EXPLANATION_RULE_PROP, and
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DATE_PROP as described below.
You set up the explanation component (optional) of the EHS Expert using the following parameters:
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DISPLAY
If you set this parameter to X and allow the set of rules to run in the foreground, the system
displays the explanation immediately after the set of rules run. For sets of rules that run in
the background, the system does not display the explanation automatically.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_SAVE
Set this parameter to X if you want to save the explanation for the set of rules run in the
specification. If you set the parameter to X, you must also edit the following parameters:
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT

49

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


In this parameter you specify the value assignment type in which the explanation is to be
saved as a user-defined text. The standard version of the demo sets of rules contains the
entry SAP_EHS_0101_002. This value assignment type is not in a property tree because
the explanation is not displayed as a user-defined text but in the menu.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_RULE_PROP
In this parameter you specify the characteristic in which the name of the set of rules is
saved to allow its assignment when displayed at a later stage. The characteristic must be in
the same value assignment type as the user-defined text for the explanation. The standard
version of the demo sets of rules contains the entry SAP_EHS_0101_002_RULESET.

Note
If you run a master data match up, the system automatically appends a phrase set
and a check module to the characteristic. You must remove this check module again.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DATE_PROP
In this parameter you specify the characteristic in which the current date is written with each
rule run. The characteristic must be in the same value assignment type as specified in the
parameter EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT. The standard version of the demo sets of
rules contains the entry SAP_EHS_0101_002_RUN_DATE. The last run date is only written
when triggered separately with the parameter EXPERT_WRITE_RUN_DATE.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_TEXTCAT
In this parameter you specify the user-defined text type with which the explanation is to be
saved in the specification. The standard version of the demo sets of rules contains the entry
EX.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_1
In this parameter you specify the path and name of the index / header file of your SAP EHS
Regulatory Content database.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_2
In this parameter you can specify a user name to access your SAP EHS Regulatory Content
database if it is stored in a password protected storage location or web server.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_3
In this parameter you can specify a password to access your SAP EHS Regulatory Content
database if it is stored in a password protected storage location or web server.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_1
This parameter is the specification key from SAP EHS, it should not be changed.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_2
In this parameter you specify the identifier that OCC should use when looking for substance
data. This is usually either the CAS or the UN number.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_3
In this parameter you specify the identifier that OCC should use for display. Choose an
identifier that is available for all substances like synonym name.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_4

50

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


In this parameter you can specify a second identifier that OCC should use when looking for substance data. This is identifier is only used when the identifier specified in

5.2.2.8. Dangerous Goods Master Data


The SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data for dangerous goods
requires some additional dangerous goods master data. These additional settings need to be
done in SAP EHS customizing before substance lists and reference data for dangerous goods
can be used. These additional settings include:
Mode of Transport
Dangerous Goods Regulations
Dangerous Goods Class and Dangerous Goods Letter (Tables THM009, THM010, THM011,
THM012)
Risk Potentials (Table THM071)
Hazard Identification Numbers (Table THM031
Danger Labels (Table THM017)
Packing Instruction Numbers (Table THM075)
The required additional DG customizing entries are included in the customizing transport DG
Master Data of the substance lists and reference data for dangerous goods Content Package.
As an alternative, you can make the settings manually using the description below.
Most of the customizing required for substance lists and reference data for dangerous goods
is included on two customizing transports available for Unicode and Non-Unicode systems.
Please be aware that these transports include DG master data customizing and should be
carefully checked and tested before used in a system with existing DG customizing.

Note
For international, European and North American regulations we provide additional
packing data. The customizing tables for these data are just available in system releases from ERP 6.0 on. If you use a system release before ERP 6.0 please implement the
customizing transports without packing data only.

5.2.2.9.3.1. How to add validity areas
The validity area determines in which jurisdictions values assigned to specifications apply. You
specify validity areas depending on the validity area categories. You can use the validity area
categories to define plants, business areas or regions, for example, as validity areas. You can
assign individual jurisdictions or organizational units at a lower level to each validity area, for
example:

66

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


You can assign countries and regions from the country table as validity areas for validity areas
of the category REGION. You can assign other organizational units for validity areas of another
category.
The definition of validity areas is closely linked to the requirements for reports. The validity
areas for this IMG activity are also used in the R/3 component Dangerous Goods Management.

Caution
Be aware, that the validity area "REG_WOLRLD" is "empty" and
has the default behaviour to recognize all countries.
Once you have used a validity area in a productive system, it can
no longer be deleted.
Newly created validity areas are not evaluated correctly by the
Expert before restarting the Expert Server.
Go to the IMG customizing ("spro"):
Navigate to Environment, Health and Safety -> Basic Data and Tools -> Additional Information for Value Assignment -> Usage ->Specify Validity Areas.

5.2.3. Phrases
SAP EHS Regulatory Content makes use of a multilingual phrase library. The required phrases
are provided as SAP EHS phrase import files for different operating systems.
All phrases are available in English language and in all other languages that a regulatory list
was published, e.g. phrases for the German WGK list will be available in English and German
only.
Each SAP EHS Regulatory Content package includes all necessary phrase import files. The
basic steps for a phrase import are:
Upload phrase files
Import all required languages into the passive library TDCLE
Merge all phrases into the active library

69

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


Import phrase set assignments
Detailed information for all steps will be provided in the following chapters.

Note
Please note that SAP EHS Regulatory Content data is always based on the latest EHS
property tree. If the property tree is not updated, importing phrase set assignments will
cause error messages.
SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data for dangerous goods
basic data package does not require a phrase import.
Please see which files are included in your package.

5.2.3.1. Upload files


This chapter describes how to upload phrase import files and which files are included in your
SAP EHS Regulatory Content package.
5.2.3.1.1. How to upload files
Upload all phrase import files and the phrase set assignment file from your local drive to the
application server.
Ask your administrator for the upload path on your application server. You may check for the
path also via transaction AL11.
For example :
\\<server>\ \\Globaltrans\trans or F:\usr\sap\trans\upload
Use transaction CG3Z for uploading and choose BIN(ary) transfer format as shown in the
screen shot below.

Size of path and filename is limited. It may be necessary to either shorten the import file names
or choose a short directory path to upload the files.
Please check that you upload the correct files for the operating system of your application
server. The update delivery includes import files formatted for MS Windows and UNIX. You
can get info about the OS in R/3 at -> System -> Status. Under the "Host data" header you can
see the operating system used by the R/3 server. You may also have to consider if Unicode
or Non Unicode system.

70

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


The upload of import files onto the application server and the import into EHS are completely
independent from any language specific settings on the front-end PC, i.e. phrases can be
uploaded and imported with every regional default setting.

5.2.3.2. Import phrases


The following chapters describe in detail how to import phrases into a passive catalogue, merge
them into an active catalogue and assign them to phrase sets.
5.2.3.2.1. How to import phrases
Choose Data Transfer - > Phrases (Transaction CG31) ; please see screen shot below.
"File with path" - Enter the path and file name (same as target file section upload files )
"Character standard" - Choose MS-NT for all files that have no _unicode.dat ending in their
filename; this applies also to unicode systems!
For files with unicode only languages ( with _unicode.dat ending in their filename) choose
UTF-8 as character standard.
You can leave all other options blank
Optional: You can limit the import to certain languages if you want (Button "Language selection" )
Check the file (F5)
Carefully check the displayed information before importing the phrases. Make sure you import to the passive CED or TDCLE library, the versions are correct and no errors are displayed.
If necessary approve the message "Date of phr. lib. to be imported is identical to date of
current library", this is just for your information.
However if the file you want to import is older than the library in your system, you can not
import it. Please make sure you have chosen the correct import file. In section upload files
you can also find information on how to change the header data of your import files.
Choose "Transfer/start time" (F6)
Choose "Immediate" or specify a time
Save

Note
For the TDCLE phrase library you have the choice to import either a single unicode
file including all languages, except for American English and Canadian French, or
separate import files based on the language group.
Due to the size of the phrase library and technical limitations with the phrase import
functionality, the option of a single import file for all languages is currently not available for the CED library.
Phrase import files for CED and TDCLE libraries include all phrases of the library,
not only those that are new or updated. Please be aware that all manual changes
made in your CED or TDCLE phrases will be overwritten.

Caution
Please do not set the flag for full import as this will delete your
passive library!

71

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data

5.2.3.2.2. How to merge phrases


To merge phrases from a passive catalogue into the active, use transaction cg12 and start
with :
1. Select the phrases to be merged.
If you are updating your phrase library, we recommend to restrict the phrase selection to
only new and revised phrases. Please use the Phrase created/changed... functionality with
the settings shown in the screenshot:

72

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data

2. Go to the menu bar ->extras->merge

and select merge.


3. Pressing the "Adopt phrase ID" Button you will take the same phrase IDs into the active
catalogue as you have in the passive one.

73

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data

Note
It is not recommended to press the "Determine target phrase" - button as this may
select phrases as target phrases that are not appropriate or may not have e.g. all
language translations.

Note
The merging process normally does not perform well when processing several thousand phrases at one time. Therefore, we strongly recommend that only a part of the
phrase library is merged at one time (e.g. filtered by phrase groups or phrase keys).
5.2.3.2.3. How to import phrase set assignments
Prior to importing phrase set assignments, the phrases have to be merged into the active
library. After uploading the phrase set assignment file, the assignments should to be imported
into SAP EHS.
Choose Data Transfer - > Phrases (Transaction CG31)
"File with path" - Enter the path and file name (same as target file section upload files )
Check the "Phrase Set Assignmt" option as shown in the screenshot below
Check the file (F5)

74

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data

Sometimes none or only a few assignments are imported. If you encounter this error, the first
step would be to run this import several times until no more phrases are assigned to phrase
sets. If this does not help an easy work-around is to change the name of the phrase library in
the import file to the name of your active library. Upload and import this modified file. In section
upload files you can also find information on how to change the header data of your import files.
As the phrase set assignment files are based on the latest SAP EHS standard property tree
there will be warnings in the logfile of the import if your system is not updated with the latest
standard property tree. These warnings can usually be ignored. Customers with valid maintenance contracts for SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules for substance and mixture
classification or - substance lists and reference data receive the latest tree as part of their

regular maintenance. Should you need any additional info on this topic please feel free to
contact us.

5.2.4. XML substance database


The XML substance database is a collection of XML files which contain the data in a format
that the SAP EHS Open Content Connector (OCC) is able to read and import into SAP EHS.
Each substance or UN number has its own specific XML file.

5.2.4.1. Install XML substance database


This chapter describes how to install the XML substance database locally or on a network
drive. Please see which files are provided for installation.
5.2.4.1.1. How to setup/update XML substance database for substance lists and reference data

Note
This step is not required if substance lists and reference data is loaded from the SAP
EHS Regulatory Content webserver, only if a local copy of the database is used.
No database server is needed, any file server with a fast connection and sufficient
storage space is suitable.
Your data implementation or update package contains a setup file e.g. cleo_2009-2_region.exe
which includes all required database XML files. Please execute this file and choose the correct
path to your SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data (Product Safety
or Dangerous Goods) database installation. The path must match the entry of the secondary
data determination User Exit for data load, see chapter How to configure the User Exit.

Note
If you are updating an existing database, the setup program will suggest a path for
the installation based on the storage path of the last installation from this computer.
Please carefully check this installation path to avoid mixing up e.g. productive and test
databases.
In your XML substance database folder, a text file called version.txt is stored which
will have information about the currently installed database. Please check the version
file before updating the database to avoid overwriting your database with the same or
older files.
Each installation of the substance lists and reference data XML substance database takes
approximately 1,5 GB for Product Safety and 1,1 GB for Dangerous Goods database.
After installation of the XML files, the structure of the database should look like:
Product Safety:
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\

main folder with index file and version info


(header.xml and version.txt)

<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\1 subfolder with all CAS numbers starting with 1

76

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\... subfolders for other CAS numbers starting
with 2 to 9
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\G subfolder with all substance groups
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\N subfolder with all non-substances data, e.g.
mixtures and data with no CAS number
Dangerous Goods and Dangerous Goods with Packaging Data:
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\

main folder with index file and version info


(head.xml and version.txt)

<path to XML substance database>\CLEO subfolder with all data for DG regulation
\ADN
ADN(R)
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\... subfolders for other DG regulations
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO subfolder with all available UN numbers
\UN
Alternatively extract the files and burn a DVD if no network folder should be used (performance
loss!). The network path for database must be accessible for all users (read access). For
security reasons, access should be limited to persons allowed to load SAP EHS Regulatory
Content - substance lists and reference data. Please note the path to the database in the
installation protocol.
It is possible to have separate databases for Test, Development and Productive systems. This
allows testing of data updates without impact on the productive data load. If you want to do this,
copy the whole database including all subfolders to a different storage location. In addition,
changes to the mapping database and user exit are required to support multiple databases
(see also chapters How to configure the User Exit, How to configure EHS OCC and How to
setup Mapping Database).

Note
Please make sure that you have a fast network connection between your OCC frontend computer, SAP application server and the storage location of the XML substance
database. WAN connections are usually unsuitable for OCC as large amounts of data
have to be transferred. See also SAP note 1235663 for further hints to improve the
OCC performance.

5.2.5. Mapping Database


OCC makes use of a mapping database that allows to match values in the XML substance
database to values used in SAP EHS. This includes information like properties, phrases, regulatory lists and literature sources.
Substance lists and reference data is provided with a standard mapping database, which
makes use of the latest EHS standard property tree, Substance lists and reference data related
phrases and multilanguage phrase libraries for hazard communication. Use of other properties
or phrase libraries is possible, but not explained in this document. Please contact us for details.

5.2.5.1. Setup Mapping Database


Each installation of SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data requires
its own mapping database. The following chapter describes in detail how to install the mapping

77

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


database. OCC mapping databases are Microsoft Access databases. If changes to the mapping database are required, the PC must have Microsoft Access 2000 or higher installed. For
a standard user only loading substance lists and reference data MS Access is not required as
all necessary data base drivers have been installed with OCC.
Please see which files are provided for installation.
5.2.5.1.1. How to setup/update mapping database for SAP EHS Regulatory Content substance lists and reference data
The mapping database file is included in folder 5-Mapping-Database of your SAP EHS Regulatory Content -substance lists and reference data package. The mapping file is named
td_cleo.mdb for product safety and td_cleo_dg.mdb for dangerous goods.
Initial setup of mapping database
This mapping database can either be installed locally for each user or used as a central network-database for all users.
Advantages of a local database:
Fast access during data load
Cache during the first data load is created much faster
No access conflicts if several person are loading data at the same time
Disadvantages of a local database:
During updates, each database needs to be changed/replaced.
Users can have different mapping for phrases, properties and other values, potentially creating inconsistencies in SAP EHS.
Advantages of a central database:
Only one database needs to be maintained/updated
All users have the same mapping settings
Disadvantages of a central database:
If network access is slow or bandwidth is limited, response time during data load might be
longer. Especially creating the cache will be much slower.
In rare cases conflicts in opening the database if several persons are loading substance lists
and reference data at the same time

Note
Please make sure that you have a fast network connection between your OCC frontend computer and the storage location of the mapping database. WAN connections
are usually unsuitable for OCC as large amounts of data have to be transferred. As the
mapping database is used to store cached data for improved performance, this file can
get quite big (over 100 MB). See also SAP note 1235663 for further hints to improve
the OCC performance.
If you are copying the mapping database from a CD/DVD to your local drive/network,
please remove the write protection of the file td_cleo.mdb after copying to your local
drive.

78

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


If the active phrase library is different than CUST, changes to the mapping database are required:
1. Open td_cleo.mdb / td_cleo_dg.mdb in MS Access
2. Open table ExpPhraseMap
3. Choose column External_id and replace CUST:
Search for: CUSTReplace with:????- (name of active phrase library)
Search in: External_id
Compare: Beginning of field
Replace all

Note
If several installations were done for the database (test/dev/prod), we recommend a
separate mapping database for each of the installations.
The OCC mapping database follows the same structure as SAP EHS Expert mapping databases. There are separate mapping tables for properties, phrases and other values:
Updating the mapping database
We recommend replacing the mapping database with the new version included in your update package as additional phrases and regulatory lists are added in the phrase mapping
table. If you have already made your own changes to the mapping database, e.g. renamed
identifiers or phrase mapping changes, please contact us and we will support you in updating
your database. If your active phrase library is different than CUST, changes to the mapping
database as specified above are required.
You can find the path of your mapping database in the ExpertAdmin tool installed on your front
end computer. On the instances tab there should be entries for e.g. CLEO_PS or CLEO_DG
which specify the path to the current mapping database. Please see Section 5.2.7.1.1, How
to configure EHS OCC for details.
Repeat the above steps for all installations of the SAP EHS Regulatory content - substance
lists and reference data mapping database if you are using more than one mapping database
or if each user has a local copy of the mapping database.

Note
We recommend to create a backup copy of your existing mapping database before
overwriting it with the new version of the mapping database.
Tables of the mapping database

ExpRecordMap: Property Mapping


ExpFactMap: Characteristics, Identifiers, Free Text, ... and display order
ExpPhraseMap: Phrases and other values
ExpGroupMap: Not used for OCC

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


ExpSubstanceMap: Individual filter settings for each substance based on the last load for
this substance
History: Version information and change log
CacheHeaderInfo: Cached information about the index file. Only available after the first data
load.
CacheHeaderAvailableSubstances: Cached data about all available substances in the
database. Only available after the first data load.
CacheHeaderGroup: Cached data about all group assignments in the database. Only available after the first data load.
In all tables, Internal_id means the key/value in the database and External_id the corresponding key/value in SAP EHS.

5.2.6. Analysis Tool for Excel


OCC has a functionality to simulate a data load and compare existing data in SAP EHS with
updated data in the XML substance database, without loading the new data into SAP EHS. As
OCC only generates a text file with the result, analyzing the changed data is not easily possible.
SAP EHS Regulatory Content includes a tool for Microsoft excel, which uses the simulation
file generated by OCC as input and allows an enhanced analysis of changed data.
The following chapter describes the installation of the tool. Use of the tool is explained in the
update guide for SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data.

Note
This tool is currently only available for product safety data. You can skip this step if you
are only using dangerous goods.

5.2.6.1. Install Analysis Tool for Excel


If you are using the OCC simulation to help analyze the impact of regulatory updates, we
recommend installing the enhanced simulation tool for Excel on all front-end computers with
SAP EHS OCC. The tool is available as a Microsoft Excel template for Excel 97 or higher.
We recommend using the Excel 2007 version as not all functionalities are supported in other
versions of the tool.
Please see which files are provided for installation.
5.2.6.1.1. How to install the Update Analysis Tool for Excel
The Simulation Tool for SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data
is included in folder 6-UpdateTools and can be installed on front-end computers with a few
simple steps:
Copy either cleo_simulation.xlt (MS Excel 97 - 2003) or cleo_simulation.xltm (MS Excel 2007) to your Excel template folder, usually ...\Documents\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
As an alternative, open cleo_simulation.xlt in Microsoft Excel 97-2003 and choose "Save
as...". Use the option for Excel templates *.xlt and the correct path to the template fold-

80

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


er should be preset. Save as xlt-file to this folder. For MS Excel 2007, open choose
cleo_simulation.xltm and save as "Excel Template with macros" *.xltm

Note
You need to activate the macros in cleo_simulation.xlt / cleo_simulation.xltm or you
will not have access to any of the functionalities of the tool. If you have installed previous versions of the Simulation Tool for Excel you may want to make a copy before
overwriting with the new version. If you do not want to activate macros, we recommend
using the previous version of the tool which was not making use of any macros but
has limited functionality.

Note
In MS Excel 2007, you need to save this Excel file in a trusted directory or you cannot
activate the macros.

5.2.7. Adjustments
After the initial installation of SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference
data, manual changes are required to adapt OCC and the database to specific settings and
requirements. The following chapters have information on
Configuring SAP EHS OCC
Configuring the secondary data determination user exit
Adjust the mapping database

5.2.7.1. Configure EHS OCC


Changes to the settings of OCC are necessary on each front-end computer with an OCC
installation. The changes described below add the settings required to make a connection
between SAP EHS, the front-end computer and the mapping database.
5.2.7.1.1. How to configure EHS OCC
The following settings in OCC must be created to support the data load of SAP EHS Regulatory
Content - substance lists and reference data.

Note
Please note that everything described in this chapter is only valid for SAP EHS Open
Content Connector (OCC) Service Pack 21 (November 2009) or higher. Please update
OCC to this version or contact us for the settings in older OCC versions.

Note
If multiple installations of the database exist for test, development and productive systems, the below steps must be repeated for all of them. Assign the name of the instances as specified in the user exit parameter EXPERT_RULE_SET and assign the
appropriate mapping database.

5.2.7.2. Configure User Exit


Changes to the secondary data determination user exit are necessary to configure the connection between SAP EHS, the front-end computer and the XML database.
5.2.7.2.1. How to configure the User Exit for SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance
lists and reference data
The user exit for secondary data determination substance lists and reference data needs to
be adapted to the installation path of the XML substance database for Product Safety or the
XML substance database for Dangerous Goods. EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_1 of the User Exit
has to be changed to reflect the path of the database index file of either the productive or the
test database.

In new User Exit, change EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_1 to: headerurl= F:\CLEO-TEST
\header.xml
In new User Exit, change EXPERT_RULE_SET to: CLEO-TEST

5.2.7.3. Adjust Mapping


After the implementation of SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data,
mapping can be changed according to customer needs. The following items can be changed
in the mapping database:

Mapping of data to different properties or characteristics


Mapping of identifiers to different names
Using different phrases or regulatory list names
Assigning different validity areas (only on property level, not on list level)

As SAP rule sets and WWI templates are designed to work with our standard mapping, any
changes in mapping may cause changes to SDS template and rule sets. If mapping changes
are required, please contact the Content as a Service team for detailed info and support.
The following chapters describe the mapping database tables and their fields.

Note
Substance lists and reference data for dangerous goods requires mapping changes
depending on the data model you have chosen for North-American DG regulations
(CFR, TDG). Please see the next chapter for details.
5.2.7.3.1. Dangerous Goods - Configure Mapping for Split/No-Split
No changes are required if you are using CFR and TDG without the split into modes of transport. You can use the TD_CLEO_DG.mdb as provided. If a split into modes of transport for
CFR and TDG is required, please change the following settings:
Open TD_CLEO_DG.mdb
Open table ExpFactMap
In the column IsPhrase remove all checkmarks (5 in total)

Note
If you use a system with release before ERP 6.0 it contains no structures for additional packing data. In this case please use a mapping database named without
pack only.
5.2.7.3.2. How to adjust the Fact Mapping

86

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


The fact mapping table contains the settings for mapping facts in the set of rules or OCC data
to characteristics or other elements in the EHS data model.
Table Fields in the Fact Mapping Table (ExpFactMap)
Table Field

Meaning

Internal_Id

Name of the fact in the set of rules / OCC XML file

Record

Optional assignment of the fact to a record in the set of rules / OCC XML file

Group

Optional assignment of the fact to a composition in the set of rules

External_Id

Name of the assigned data element in EHS

Descriptions

Description text for the fact

Options

Options that govern access to the data in EHS more closely

IsPhrase

Identifies whether the fact contains values that are to be subject to value
conversion via phrase mapping tables. This will mostly be used for facts
that represent characteristics with phrases assigned in order to convert
an easily recognizable phrase identification used in the set of rules / OCC
XML file to the phrase key in EHS and vice versa.

The first three fields together form a unique identifier for the fact in the set of rules.
5.2.7.3.3. How to adjust the Record Mapping
The record mapping table contains the settings for mapping records in the set of rules or OCC
to value assignment types in EHS.
Table Fields in the Record Mapping Table (ExpRecordMap)
Table Field

Meaning

Internal_Id

Name of the record in the set of rules / OCC XML file

Group

Optional assignment of the record to a composition in the set of rules

External_Id

Name of the assigned value assignment type in EHS

Descriptions

Description text for the record

Options

Options that govern access to the data in EHS more closely

The first two fields together identify the record uniquely in the set of rules.
5.2.7.3.4. How to adjust the Phrase Mapping
The phrase mapping table contains the regulations for mapping phrase codes used in the set
of rules or OCC XML files to phrase keys in EHS.

Note
Phrase mapping allows an assignment to be made between an internal and an external
value for any fact value. The phrase does not have to be an EHS phrase. The corresponding conversion takes place if the IsPhrase indicator is set in fact mapping.
Expert generates a warning message if the rule set or OCC reads phrases which are
not contained in the Mapping table.
Table Fields in the Phrase Mapping Table (ExpPhraseMap)

87

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


Table Field

Meaning

Internal_Id

Phrase code in the set of rules. The rule editor uses a special syntax for
phrase codes to distinguish them from normal texts. For this purpose the
phrase codes are enclosed in square brackets and number signs, for example [#R20#] .

External_Id

Phrase key in EHS

Phrasetext

Phrase text

Options

Options that govern access to the data in EHS more closely

In some cases it might be necessary to enhance/adapt the phrase mapping manually.


Customer specific phrases
The phrase mapping table has to be enhanced if a customer uses additional customer specific
phrases.
To suppress the warning message these phrases have to be added manually to the phrase
mapping table.

Tip
We recommend to insert these phrases using the following pattern:
Internal_Id: <Catalog name>-<Phrase key> , e.g. CUST-N09.00101280
External_Id: <Catalog name>-<Phrase key> , e.g. CUST-N09.00101280
To consider these enhancements for updates of the standard mapping you should label
these manual settings in the database e.g. in the Version column.
Customer specific phrase catalogue
The first part of the phrase key (column: External_Id) always signifies the active phrase catalogue in EHS.
The default phrase mapping is based on the CED Phrase Catalogue.
The default value for the active phrase catalogue is CUST.
If the active phrase catalogue in the EHS system is named differently then the mapping has
to be changed (using the replace function in MS Access).

5.2.8. Cache
OCC makes use of a caching functionally to improve the performance of the data load. After
the initial implementation and after each change of the XML database, the cache needs to
be created. The cache will be created automatically by OCC whenever the XML substance
database is changed:
Start OCC for Product Safety for any list substance after you have installed your XML substance database. The first load after the installation will analyze the database and will store
this information locally in your mapping database (cache).
This process may take from less than a minute to several minutes, depending on your network
speed to the XML substance database and your front-end computer (memory). Only the first

88

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data


load will take this long, after the cache has been rebuild, load times should be down to only
a few seconds again.
We recommend that the first load is done by somebody with a fast connection to the XML
substance database, e.g. a user working at the same site as the XML substance database
installation.

Note
Do not cancel OCC if it looks like the program has locked up. This process may require
several minutes and in rare cases up to an hour.
Ensure that you have a fast network connection to the OCC mapping database and
the XML substance database. A WAN connection is insufficient for accessing a large
MDB file with the cache.
Make sure that caching of header data is activated, as described in Note 965586 (activated automatically as of Support Package 14).

5.2.9. Review New Filter Settings


At the first start of OCC, you will get a pop-up window informing you about new regulatory lists
added. In the next step you will see the OCC filter settings.
During the initial load, you need to review the filter settings in OCC and adapt them to your
business processes. For each regulatory list, a decision should be made if this list is required
by your business process or not. After reviewing the filter settings, you can define these as the
new standard by clicking the "Default" button in OCC.
The content reports for SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data
will help you make this decision in case that you are not familiar with some of the content.
Content reports include a short description of the regulatory background and purpose of each
list, information about the SAP EHS property used to load this data and an example data set.

Note
As a general rule, load only lists that are used in your business processes. Data that
is loaded but not used will still create additional work in the update process when you
have to review updated data.

5.2.9.1. Adapt Dangerous Goods Filter Settings


During the initial load, you need to review the filter settings in OCC loading tool. For each
dangerous goods regulation, a decision should be made if this list is required by your business
process or not.
Split by mode of transport for CFR / TDG:
No changes to filter settings are required.
No Split by mode of transport for CFR / TDG:
Deselect the following regulations - both under identifiers and regulations - if you want to load
Dangerous Goods data without split by mode of transport:

89

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data

CFR_AIR_C
CFR_AIR_P
CFR_INWTR
CFR_RAIL_C
CFR_RAIL_P
TDG_INWT_C
TDG_INWT_P
TDG_RAIL_C
TDG_RAIL_P
TDG_ROAD_P

After reviewing the filter settings, you can define these as the new standard by clicking the
"Default" button.

Chapter 6. SAP EHS Regulatory


Content - expert rules for substance
and mixture classification
SAP provides Expert Rule Sets for the determination of secondary data according to regulations in different jurisdictions, with a focus on the European Union, the Americas and Asia/
Pacific regions. The rule sets require the installation of EHS Expert on a separate server, connected to an EHS system. Delivery is in the form of compiled ruc files and mapping databases
which have to be implemented on the EHS Expert Server.

6.1. General Information


This section describes the prerequisites for the implementation of Expert Rules, gives an
overview of the delivery process and details which components are delivered upon licensing
of Expert Rules.

6.1.1. Prerequisites
This chapter describes the prerequisites for using EHS Expert rule sets for secondary data
determination.
All Expert Rules require additional customizing activities such as the creation of separate user-exits and data origins for each rule set.
In addition some Expert Rules require further customizing activities, e.g. additional value assignment ratings or user-defined free text categories.
These customizing entries are described for each rule set in the appendices.
It is recommended to perform the customizing activities before setting up the Expert Rules on
the Expert Server.

6.1.2. Content of Expert Rule set packages


Each Expert Rule set package consists of the following parts:
Documentation: functional descriptions which describe the general functionalities of the rule
set and release notes which describe the changes compared to the previous versions.
Expert rule set files and content database(s)
For a complete overview of all files included in this delivery of Expert Rules, please see the
list of Expert rule files.

6.2. Implementation
The following chapters describe how to implement Expert Rules.

6.2.1. EHS Expert


EHS Expert has to be installed on a separate PC and has to be configured in EHS. We recommend setting up separate Expert Server PCs for the test and productive systems. This enables

92

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules


for substance and mixture classification
you to test new versions of rule sets on the test EHS Expert Server independently from your
productive system. The following chapters describe the required installation steps.

6.2.1.1. Install EHS Expert


6.2.1.1.1. What is EHS Expert
EHS Expert is an independent Windows PC program. This program communicates via RFC
with the EHS database using a standardized BAPI interface.
EHS Expert is called from within EHS. The call is passed on to the Expert server which runs
on a PC. This server reads the EHS specification data via a BAPI interface.
Input facts , which are defined within the rule set and denoted with (IN), are filled with specification data via the BAPI interface. Rules define the calculations to be made using these facts
and thus new data for other facts is derived. After all the rules have been processed the output
facts, which are denoted with (OUT), are outputted to the specification database via the BAPI
interface.
The definitions for the facts and rules used by EHS Expert are stored in a rule file. The rule file
is a text file that is automatically created when rules are defined using the rule editor. However
they can be created and edited using any text editor.
The assignment of facts and other parts of the rule set (i.e. records, compositions, internal
phrases) to the specification database elements (e.g. characteristics, value assignment types,
phrase keys etc.) is made via the mapping tables.
6.2.1.1.2. Where to get EHS Expert
The installation program for EHS Expert is available on the current SAP Server Components
CD.
The current EHS Expert Version and respective patches are available on the SAP Support
Portal on the SAP Service Marketplace. You can find the patches for EHS Expert on the SAP
Service Marketplace under 'Support Packages & Patches' (http://service.sap.com/patches).
Detailed information on how to obtain the latest version of EHS Expert can be found in SAP
Note 568302.
6.2.1.1.3. How to install Expert
Section A.38, How to install EHS Expert

6.2.1.2. Setup RFC connection


6.2.1.2.1. Why do you need a RFC connection
The EHS Administration Server and EHS Expert are independent Windows PC programs.
These programs communicate via RFC with the EHS database using a standardized BAPI
interface.
6.2.1.2.2. How to setup a RFC connection
The Remote Function Call destination (RFC destination) in the SAP system has to be set up for
EHS Expert and OCC. It is recommended to use the EHS Administration Service and therefore
a RFC destination for the Administration Server has to be set up additionally.

for substance and mixture classification

The test is running successfully if transmission duration times are displayed in the SAP window.

6.2.1.3. Configure EHS Expert


You can configure EHS Expert servers as Microsoft Windows services or as console programs.
The advantage that the windows service has over the console program is that it does not
require that a user be logged on in order to execute the service. Thus a service can be started
automatically as a background process when the system is started up. It is recommend that
the EHS Expert Microsoft Windows service be used and that it be configured using the EHS
Service Administration.
6.2.1.3.1. using Service Administration
Within the EHS service administration, the EHS management server has the following functions:
Installation and deinstallation of services
Control of services (starting, stopping, restarting)
Display and change of service configurations (SAPRFC.INI, EHS Expert parameters and
EHS Expert rule sets)
File transfer (File transfer server PC <--> front-end PC (only access to directories used by
EHS Expert and WWI)
You will find a detailed description of the EHS service administration in the SAP help (EHS -> Basic Data and Tools --> Tools --> EHS Service Administration)

The SAPRFC.ini file will be updated automatically on the Expert Server PC using the Program ID "EHS_EXPERT_TEST" as PROGID and the Service "EHS_EXPERT_TDG_01"
as DEST .
Accept your entries.
The Expert Server will then immediately be started on the PC.
6.2.1.3.1.2. How to configure Expert service administration
Section 6.2.1.3.1.1, How to configure EHS Expert Server using EHS Service Administration
6.2.1.3.2. Without using Service Administration
You can configure EHS Expert servers as Microsoft Windows services or as console programs.
The advantage that the windows service has over the console program is that it does not
require that a user be logged on in order to execute the service. Thus a service can be started
automatically as a background process when the system is started up.
The first step is the configuration of the file SAPRFC.ini. This step is the same regardless of
whether Expert is to be used as a Windows Service or as a console program. After this step
has been completed then EHS Expert can be configured (as either a Windows Service or as
a console program) and started.
6.2.1.3.2.1. How to configure SAPRFC.INI
1. From the EH&S Expert installation directory (e.g. C:\Program Files\EHS\Expert), open the
subdirectory BIN and open the SAPRFC.INI file.
2. Add the following lines to the SAPRFC.INI file:
Sample entry

Meaning

Note
You can use the SAPGUI entry to find the details for GWHOST and GWSERV:
GWHOST contains the SAP router string including the application server. GWSERV
contains the string sapgw and the system number
3. Save these entries.
6.2.1.3.2.2. How to configure EHS Expert Server as a Windows Service
Requirements
Your PC runs on the Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating system.
You have installed the EHS Expert server on your PC.
You have configured the EHS Expert server for a certain destination. (In the following, the
destination EHS_EXPERT_TDG_01 is used as an example).
Standard settings
The EHS Expert server as a Windows service consists of the file EHSEXPSV.EXE that is
automatically copied to the corresponding bin directory for Expert installation (for example, c:
\program files\EHS\Expert\bin). The bin directory should also contain the following three files:
The administration program SVCADMIN.EXE, which can be used to install, configure, and
check services
The program library WIN32SVC.DLL
The EHSSTART.EXE file to automatically start and monitor the WWI generation server or
EHS Expert server as a Windows service
Activities
1. Log on as local administrator to the PC
2. Start the MS-DOS prompt and change to the bin directory for EHS Expert installation
3. Install the service by calling the EHSEXPSV file together with command line parameters as
follows: EHSEXPSV.EXE -I -N<name> -D<destination>.
Example:
EHSEXPSV.EXE -I -NTest -DEHS_EXPERT_TDG_01 installs the Windows service EHS
Expert Server (Test). The destination EHS_EXPERT_TDG_01 is used.
4. Make the settings that are specific to the application for the EHS Expert server as a Windows
NT service.
During the installation, for each service, a key is created with the name
EhsExpertSvc(<name>) under the main key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.

101

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules


for substance and mixture classification
Start REGEDIT.EXE via Start\Run\regedit.exe
Choose the key EhsExpertSvc(<name>)\Parameter.
Change the parameters if required.
Destination: name of logical SAP R/3 destination
Idle Time: (default value = 1000 ms)
InitialServerCount: Number of EHS Expert server threads that are created directly after
the service is started. (Default value = 1)
MaximumServerCount: Maximum number of EHS Expert server threads. As soon as
the maximum is reached, a warning is logged. The service main thread then only functions as a database server. (Default value = 20)
MaximumServerCount: Maximum number of EHS Expert server threads. As soon as
the maximum is reached, a warning is logged. The service main thread then only functions as a database server. (Default value = 20)
LogDirOptions: (Default value = 1 /F /P /E /L=clean.log)
Syntax: n [/F] [/P] [/E /L=<filename>]
The number n deletes all files whose creation date or change date is more than n
days ago (with 1 <= n <= 365)
/F If the parameter is set, the reference point for deleting is the creation date. If the
parameter is not set, the reference point for deleting is the date of the last access
or last change.
/P If the parameter is set, subdirectory structures are retained and only files are deleted. If the parameter is not set, everything below the current directory is deleted.
/E Logs the names of all files and directories that cannot be deleted owing to restricted
access rights. /L=<filename> Name of log file if parameter /E is set.
Examples:
1 /F /P /E /L=clean.log deletes all files whose creation date is more than a day ago
and log messages are created in the CLEAN.LOG file in the EHS Expert directory.
1 /P deletes all files whose change date is more than a day ago.
5. Configure the application log for Windows NT or Windows 2000.
Start the Windows event viewer (EVENTVWR.EXE).
Change the setting for the application log via Log -> Log settings to the option Overwrite
Events as Needed to prevent an overflow in the event viewer.
6. Test the service.
Start and stop the EHS Expert Server (Test) service using the SVCADMIN.EXE program
from the bin directory of the Expert installation or the Services control in Windows.
Call the EHS Expert Server (Test) from the SAP System.
Use the event viewer to check whether the respective commands in the application log file
have been logged and whether the language-dependent texts for the events are displayed
in the detail view.
Check whether the service was started automatically on system startup by rebooting the
PC and calling the EHS Expert Server (Test) from the SAP System.
7. To remove an installed service, proceed as follows:
Log on to the PC with administrator rights.
Start the service administration program SVCADMIN.EXE from the bin directory for the
Expert installation.
If necessary, close the current service using the Control and configure services function.
Remove the service using the Uninstall services function.

6.2.1.3.2.3. How to configure EHS Expert Server as a console program

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules


for substance and mixture classification
To start the EHS Expert as a console program, you call the program EHSEXPER.EXE with
the parameter -D <Name of destination>.
For example: EHSEXPER.EXE -DEHS_EXPERT_TDG_01
If you copied the icons to your desktop when you installed the EHS Expert, change the parameter -D accordingly to the entry in your file SAPRFC.INI.
Alternatively, you can call the program on your front end using the menu command Start > Programs -> EHS Expert. The default parameter -D is here set to EHS_EXPERT. Therefore you have to change the parameter if you have defined another destination in your file
SAPRFC.INI (EHS_EXPERT_TDG_01 in the example)

6.2.2. SAP EHS Customizing


6.2.2.1. User Exit
Each EHS Expert rule set has to be configured in a SAP system and on the Expert Server PC.
This chapter describes the configuration in a SAP system.
For each rule set a user exit has to be created in the SAP system. A user exit can be created
or changed via the customizing settings EHS -> Basic Data and Tools -> Basic Settings >
Manage User Exits. The type of user exits for EHS Expert rule sets is SUB_SEDACA.
Please find the proposed user exit settings for the Expert rule sets.
6.2.2.1.1. How to extend entry in secondary data determination
In the example at the bottom you can see the typically used entries for secondary data determination with Expert rule sets and OCC data loads. The required entries for the specific rule
sets are explicitly given in the functional description of the rule set and in the appendix for SAP
EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data.
Activities
1. In Customizing for Basic Data and Tools, call the IMG activity Manage User Exits.
2. Create a new user exit with user exit category SUB_SEDACA using
C1E5_SUB_EXPERT_EVALUATE as Function Module (copy the entry of a DEMO-rule set
as template for your new user exit).

3. Choose Parameters and Values.

103

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules


for substance and mixture classification
The following environment parameters must be set up for the reference modules
C1E5_SUB_EXPERT_EVALUATE:
EXPERT_COMMIT_MODE
Specifies the backup mode for secondary data determination by the EHS Expert.
If you enter the value I, the SAP system creates the new data records that were determined
by the EHS Expert without changing other data records.
If you enter the value D, the SAP system deletes all the existing data records and creates
the newly determined data. If the EXPERT_RES_BY_SRSID_OWNID_FLG parameter is
set, then only those data records are deleted that were determined during previous runs of
the EHS Expert. Using the data origin (parameter EXPERT_WRITE_SOURCE_ID) and the
data provider (parameter EXPERT_WRITE_OWNER) the SAP system recognizes which
data was determined previously by the EHS Expert.

Note
You can determine the address number of the data provider in Customizing for Basic
Data and Tools in the IMG activity Specify Authorization Groups. To do this, call the
input help for the Data prov. field in the IMG activity. You will find the value you require
in the Addr. no. field. The address number is not displayed in address management
in the Product Safety component.
If you enter the value C the SAP system resets the active indicator for the newest of the
data records and deletes all other existing ones. The number of data records to be deactivated can be derived from the parameter EXPERT_NUM_OF_DEACT_VALUATION.
The data records that were newly determined by the EHS Expert are also created. If the
EXPERT_RES_BY_SRSID_OWNID_FLG parameter is set, then only those data records
are deleted that were determined during previous runs of the EHS Expert. This helps
you prevent data records being deleted inadvertently. The SAP system uses the data origin (parameter EXPERT_WRITE_SOURCE_ID) and the data provider (parameter
EXPERT_WRITE_OWNER) to recognize which data was determined previously by the EHS
Expert.
EXPERT_DESTINATION
Corresponds with the name of the RFC destination that is entered under Tools -> Administration -> Administration -> Network -> RFC Destinations (transaction SM59) (for example
EHS_EXPERT).
EXPERT_READ_RATING and EXPERT_READ_VALIDITY_AREA
Determine the rating and validity area for which the data is transferred from the SAP system
to the EHS Expert.
EXPERT_WRITE_RATING and EXPERT_WRITE_VALIDITY_AREA
Determine the rating and validity area with which the data determined is stored in the SAP
system. In the EHS Expert set of rules you can also specifically define a different rating and
validity area that are used when storing data in the system.
EXPERT_READ_USAGE_1...n and EXPERT_WRITE_USAGE_1...n
These parameters can be used in addition to the two previous parameter pairs. You can
specify any number of usages in the format VACLID/RVLID/EXCLFLG (rating/validity/exclude indicator). The parameter numbering has to start with 1 and has to be consecutive.

104

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules


for substance and mixture classification
Examples
EXPERT_READ_USAGE_1:PUBLIC/REG_EU EXPERT_READ_USAGE_2:PUBLIC/DE/X
In this example, the system reads all data records that are valid in the EU but not in Germany.
EXPERT_WRITE_USAGE_1:PUBLIC/REG_EU
EXPERT_WRITE_USAGE_2:PUBLIC/US
In this example, the system writes all data records that are valid both for the EU and for
the USA.
EXPERT_WRITE_SOURCE_ID
Data origin that must be created in the IMG activity Specify Data Origin.
If no data origin is created, the system issues an error.
EXPERT_RULE_SET
Name of the rule set
The following environment parameters can be set up for the reference module
C1E5_SUB_EXPERT_EVALUATE (not all possible parameters are described here):
EXPERT_COMMIT_FLG
If you set this indicator to X, the system calls the update function specified in the parameter
EXPERT_COMMIT_FUNCTION after the calculation is finished on the Expert server.
If you do not set this indicator, the EHS Expert server directly calls the update function. In
a productive system, we recommend that you set the indicator so that the Expert server is
available again more quickly for other parallel calls. During development and testing it may
be useful to not set the indicator, so that error messages from the update function are logged
in the log files and so you have the option of displaying the runtime of the update function
on the console or in the event display.
EXPERT_NUM_OF_DEACT_VALUATION
Determines the number of data records that are not deleted for save mode C, but are set
to inactive.
EXPERT_PARAMETER_CHANGE_MODE
If you enter the value S (default), the SAP system displays the Determine Secondary Data dialog box in display mode when starting secondary data determination using the EHS
Expert.
If you enter the value E you can revise the environment parameters in the Determine Secondary Data dialog box when starting secondary data determination using the EHS Expert.
The environment parameters you specified in Customizing are displayed as default values.
If you enter the value H the SAP system does not display the Determine Secondary Data
dialog box when starting secondary data determination using the EHS Expert.
EXPERT_RES_BY_SRSID_OWNID_FLG
Set this indicator if in backup modes C or D only data is to be deleted by the EHS Expert
that was determined during previous runs of the EHS Expert.

105

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules


for substance and mixture classification

Warning
If you do not set this indicator, data that has also been entered manually or imported
can be deleted in backup mode C or D by the EHS Expert during secondary data
determination.
EXPERT_WRITE_OWNER
Data provider that you must have created in the SAP component Product Safety under Tools
-> Addresses -> Edit Data Providers. The data provider must always be entered with 10
digits.
If you do not specify a data provider, the SAP system uses the authorization group for the
specification to determine the respective data provider (see IMG activity Specify Authorization Groups). If the SAP system does not find any data providers there, it creates the data
without a data provider.
EXPERT_HIDDEN_PROCESSING_MODE
You can choose between two operating modes.
ONLINE (default): The EHS Expert run starts immediately after you choose Execute.
BACKGROUND: The EHS Expert runs as a background job. The indicator for the parameter
EXPERT_ASK_FOR_STARTTIME must be set for the start time prompt.
EXPERT_ASK_FOR_STARTTIME
If you set this indicator, you will be prompted in a dialog box when the EHS Expert is to start
as a background job.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_1...n
You can pass any number of parameters to the set of rules. This means you can make sets
of rules configurable. In the set of rules you must create a fact for this purpose that is mapped
to the external ID P:I_TAB_PARAM in fact mapping.
EXPERT_WRITE_RUN_DATE
With this parameter, the Expert will write the current date with each run of
the given Expert rule: Enter the value X here, and set the further parameters EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT, EXPERT_EXPLANATION_RULE_PROP, and
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DATE_PROP as described below.
You set up the explanation component (optional) of the EHS Expert using the following parameters:
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DISPLAY
If you set this parameter to X and allow the set of rules to run in the foreground, the system
displays the explanation immediately after the set of rules run. For sets of rules that run in
the background, the system does not display the explanation automatically.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_SAVE
Set this parameter to X if you want to save the explanation for the set of rules run in the
specification. If you set the parameter to X, you must also edit the following parameters:
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT

106

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules


for substance and mixture classification
In this parameter you specify the value assignment type in which the explanation is to be
saved as a user-defined text. The standard version of the demo sets of rules contains the
entry SAP_EHS_0101_002. This value assignment type is not in a property tree because
the explanation is not displayed as a user-defined text but in the menu.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_RULE_PROP
In this parameter you specify the characteristic in which the name of the set of rules is
saved to allow its assignment when displayed at a later stage. The characteristic must be in
the same value assignment type as the user-defined text for the explanation. The standard
version of the demo sets of rules contains the entry SAP_EHS_0101_002_RULESET.

Note
If you run a master data match up, the system automatically appends a phrase set
and a check module to the characteristic. You must remove this check module again.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DATE_PROP
In this parameter you specify the characteristic in which the current date is written with each
rule run. The characteristic must be in the same value assignment type as specified in the
parameter EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT. The standard version of the demo sets of
rules contains the entry SAP_EHS_0101_002_RUN_DATE. The last run date is only written
when triggered separately with the parameter EXPERT_WRITE_RUN_DATE.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_TEXTCAT
In this parameter you specify the user-defined text type with which the explanation is to be
saved in the specification. The standard version of the demo sets of rules contains the entry
EX.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_1
In this parameter you specify the path and name of the index / header file of your SAP EHS
Regulatory Content database.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_2
In this parameter you can specify a user name to access your SAP EHS Regulatory Content
database if it is stored in a password protected storage location or web server.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_3
In this parameter you can specify a password to access your SAP EHS Regulatory Content
database if it is stored in a password protected storage location or web server.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_1
This parameter is the specification key from SAP EHS, it should not be changed.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_2
In this parameter you specify the identifier that OCC should use when looking for substance
data. This is usually either the CAS or the UN number.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_3
In this parameter you specify the identifier that OCC should use for display. Choose an
identifier that is available for all substances like synonym name.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_4

107

6.2.2.2. Multi Rule Call


This CSM Solution Package delivers Expert Multi Rule Call functionality. This enables the user
to define a list of rule sets which EHS Expert executes in one step as an automatic sequence .
For example, it is possible to set up a Expert Multi Rule Call which runs all the rule sets required
to create the data for a Material Safety Data Sheet.
6.2.2.2.1. What is a Multi Rule Call
Standard EHS functionality allows the execution of only one rule set at a time. As such, if it
is necessary to apply more than one rule set to a specification, this can be done either by
several manual calls or by using the Expert Multi Rule Call. The Expert Multi Rule Call supports
background and dialog processing.
Example (using standard SAP rule sets):
After changing the product composition of a preparation the standard composition has to be
recalculated (run the Composition rule set).
This change of the standard composition may have an impact on all classification data of
the product, so it is necessary to recalculate the EU classification (run the rule set: DAPEC).
The hazardous ingredients for the EU MSDS have to be determined as well (run the rule
set HazardComp_EU).
Instead of starting three rule sets manually and one at a time, Expert Multi Rule Call would
trigger the execution of the required rule sets in a predefined order.
6.2.2.2.2. Where to get Multi Rule Call
The Expert Multi Rule Call functionality is available as a CSM Solution Package (CSM-PSEXPMRC).
For enquiries please contact your SAP Account Manager.

6.2.2.3. Data Origin


The data origins used within the EHS systems connect the user-exits with the Expert Administration instances.

109

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules


for substance and mixture classification
Each rule set has its own data origin, which is used when data instances are written to the
EHS database. As such a user is able to tell when a data instance orginates from a rule set.
The user-exits and data origins should have a descriptive comment indicating, at a minimum,
the purpose, rule set name and version. These comments should be created and kept up to
date in all relevant interface languages if possible.
Please find the proposed settings for the data origin(s) .
6.2.2.3.1. How to add data origins
To add new data origins use transaction "spro" for the IMG customizing. Navigate to Environment, Health & Safety ->Basic Data and Tools -> Tools -> Import ans Export -> Basic Settings

Regulatory lists are required for assigning identifiers. They can be used for specifying the regulatory list to which a particular identifier belongs, or the regulatory list from which an identifier
was taken. An identifier can belong to several regulatory lists.
There are special cases, where one specification can occur under several different identifiers
in the same regulatory list e.g. there are specifications that are entered several times in the
CAS library under different CAS numbers.
A standard EHS system contains several different commonly used regulatory lists.
Activities:
1. Check if you want to use the predefined regulatory lists already available in the EHS system.

111

also derives special notes for small packaging sizes, (e.g. "If package size is more than 30 l,
packaging group II.") which are also outputted to this property.
Please find the proposed settings for the user defined dangerous goods texts.
6.2.2.7.1. How to add user-defined DG texts
User-defined dangerous goods texts are regulation-dependant and may be assigned to specific dangerous goods user-defined text profiles. The dangerous goods user-defined free texts
themselves are phrases, whereas those phrases written by the standard expert rule DangGoods are CED standard phrases delivered with the CED phrase library. If further dangerous
goods user-defined texts are required, additional phrases need to be created.
To specify dangerous goods user-defined text profiles, use transaction SPRO, choose SAP
Reference IMG and navigate through the activities tree to Environment, Health and Safety Dangerous Goods Management - Basic Data and Master Data - Common Settings - Specify

6.2.2.8. Value Assignment Rating


This rating, along with the validity area, make up the value assignment usage.
It is recommend that you enter as few ratings as possible. This minimizes the report generation
variant maintenance activities, as it is required that a rating be assigned to these variants
otherwise data cannot be outputted in the reports.
The following ratings are available:

INTERNAL - only for internal use


PUBLIC - for the public
OFFICIAL - for authorities
CUSTOMER - for customers

Activities :
1. Analyze your organizational structure in order to define the authorizations required to access
specification data.

6.2.3.3.1. How to adjust external table values
In addition to the files for the rule sets (ruc files and the mapping data base) some rule sets
provide a separate MS-Access data base
The purpose of it is to allow the user to modify the preconfigured data according to the needs
of the customers.
These external parameters are interpreted by the rule set as IN facts.
It is recommended to install this data base in the same directory on the Expert server as the
rule files.

117

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules

If this external data base is installed somewhere else, the linkage between the rule set and the
external data base must be maintained by defining the file path in the mapping tables.

In some cases it might be necessary to enhance/adapt the phrase mapping manually.


Customer specific phrases
The phrase mapping table has to be enhanced if a customer uses additional customer specific
phrases.
To suppress the warning message these phrases have to be added manually to the phrase
mapping table.

Tip
We recommend to insert these phrases using the following pattern:
Internal_Id: <Catalog name>-<Phrase key> , e.g. CUST-N09.00101280
External_Id: <Catalog name>-<Phrase key> , e.g. CUST-N09.00101280
To consider these enhancements for updates of the standard mapping you should label
these manual settings in the database e.g. in the Version column.
Customer specific phrase catalogue
The first part of the phrase key (column: External_Id) always signifies the active phrase catalogue in EHS.
The default phrase mapping is based on the CED Phrase Catalogue.
The default value for the active phrase catalogue is CUST.
If the active phrase catalogue in the EHS system is named differently then the mapping has
to be changed (using the replace function in MS Access).
6.2.3.3.6. How to write the Last Run Date
The EHS Expert is able to write the current date when running an Expert rule, to allow looking
up when a rule was called for the last time on a given substance. For that purpose, the property
"EHS Expert Explanations" was extended by another characteristic "Last Run Date" allowing
to store a date.
To activate writing the last run date, the following user-exit parameters have to be set:

120

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules


for substance and mixture classification
EXPERT_WRITE_RUN_DATE = X (invokes writing the date)
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT = SAP_EHS_0101_002 (property the explanation is
stored at)
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_RULE_PROP = SAP_EHS_0101_002_RULESET (characteristic within the property given above to save the user-exit name)
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DATE_PROP = SAP_EHS_0101_002_RUN_DATE (characteristic where the date of the last run shall be stored)

Chapter 7. SAP EHS Regulatory


Content - material safety data sheet
(MSDS) templates
7.1. General Information
The following rules and design features apply to all sections of the template, unless otherwise
noted.
The template uses a table structure to format the data displayed. It consists of three columns:
Column 1 contains a header/label text, describing the information to be displayed.
Column 2 holds a delimiter to separate columns 1 and 3, usually the colon sign :
Column 3 contains the actual substance data.
If the key data fields of column 3 do not contain any data, the whole table line is not displayed.

7.1.1. Prerequisites
This chapter describes the prerequisites which are necessary to use Report Templates.
The material safety data sheet (MSDS) templates require additional customizing activities,
especially creating identification listings and generation variants.
These customizing entries are described in the respective report templates' area in this
documentation's appendix.
It is recommended to perform these steps before implementing the material safety data sheet
(MSDS) templates.
Starting with the 2010-1 Release, the material safety data sheet (MSDS) templates will use
function modules located in the /TDAG/-namespace instead of utilizing the Z-namespace
( ZISI...).
Therefore it is necessary to create the /TDAG/-namespace on a customer system, before importing the workbench transport with the actual function modules in the /TDAG/-namespace.
Please see section "file overview" to find details on the namespace transport.

7.1.2. Content of material safety data sheet (MSDS) template packages


The material safety data sheet (MSDS) template packages contain WWI template layouts according to regional legislation requirements and come with necessary customizing and expansion methods as well as Property Tree layouts (adapted to each template).
Each template also comes with a DataMapping-Document that gives detailed overview on the
printed properties.

122

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - material safety data sheet (MSDS) templates
Please find the contained files of the delivery.

7.2. Implementation
The following steps describe how to implement material safety data sheet (MSDS) templates.

7.2.1. Import transports


This chapter describes in detail the import of transports.

7.2.1.1. How to import transports (customizing or workbench)


If transports have been uploaded (cg3z) they should be available in the transport queue.
With the transaction "stms" you can import transports from the queue into the system.

On the second screen you will see a list of available queues (After pressing the van-icon).

123

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - material safety data sheet (MSDS) templates

Depending to your system you may have virtual transport queue(s) or not. The virtual queue
enables you to transfer transports between multiple systems if you uploaded the transports
into the virtual queue (and the systems are connected to the virtual queue).
Double click the queue you want to work with.
If you have uploaded the corresponding pair of files (co-file and datafile) to the appropriate
places they appear in the transport queue. If not you may use the menu ->"Extras->other
requests->add". Then you will get a dialog box to choose additional transport files to be shown
in the actual transport queue.
There is a naming convention :
Zxxxxxxx.yyy is the name of the file where Z is K for the co-file and R for the data file.
x is a numerical value. y is the extension. The extension is the System ID (i.e. SH2, TD3 ... )
After you uploaded the file you will find the files in the queue with a different name! In the
queue they will appear like:
yyyKxxxxxxx (The system ID as a prefix followed by the "K" of the co-files and the numeric
value.)
Example : K102002.SH2 and R102002.SH2 would be the filenames and the list entry would
be : SH2K102002
Setting filters :
To find the transports you may use a filter. The transports can be identified by user who created
the transport - not the user who did the upload!
Setting the filters is initiated by a mouse click on the column to be filtered and then a click on
the filter-icon. More than one filter can be defined. To delete a filter start the same way but in
the dialog click on the bin - icon.
To specify the transports to be imported use the 4th button (black arrow pointing to the red
button) you may mark more than one item. Be careful, some transports have dependencies
so those cannot be imported at once.

124

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - material safety data sheet (MSDS) templates
If the selection is complete start the import by pressing the van-icon with the small orange top
edge. A dialog will appear where you can give additional options. In most cases the standard
flags will be sufficient.
If you start the import you will see the van-symbol on the right side of the list of transports. If you
refresh the screen with the (first icon in the screen shot above) the van symbol will disappear
when the transport has finished.

7.2.2. Setup identification listings


This chapter describes in detail the setup of identification listings.

7.2.2.1. How to setup identification listings


Setting up identification listings is an IMG activity.
Please choose transaction SPRO , then choose SAP Reference-IMG (F5).
Go to: Environment, Health and Safety - Basic Data and Tools - Specification Management Specification Master - Check Identification Listings
Add the required Identification Listings via "New Entry" including a header, add the required
identifiers to the definition and save.

7.2.3. Upload files


This chapter describes which files have to be uploaded and how this upload has to be performed.

7.2.3.1. How to upload files


Upload all phrase import files and the phrase set assignment file from your local drive to the
application server.
Ask your administrator for the upload path on your application server. You may check for the
path also via transaction AL11.
For example :
\\<server>\ \\Globaltrans\trans or F:\usr\sap\trans\upload

125

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - material safety data sheet (MSDS) templates
Use transaction CG3Z for uploading and choose BIN(ary) transfer format as shown in the
screen shot below.

Size of path and filename is limited. It may be necessary to either shorten the import file names
or choose a short directory path to upload the files.
Please check that you upload the correct files for the operating system of your application
server. The update delivery includes import files formatted for MS Windows and UNIX. You
can get info about the OS in R/3 at -> System -> Status. Under the "Host data" header you can
see the operating system used by the R/3 server. You may also have to consider if Unicode
or Non Unicode system.
The upload of import files onto the application server and the import into EHS are completely
independent from any language specific settings on the front-end PC, i.e. phrases can be
uploaded and imported with every regional default setting.

7.2.4. Import report template


This chapter describes in detail the import of report templates.
You use this function to import report templates (or cover sheet templates and acknowledgement of receipt templates) to the SAP System.
In conjunction with report template export, you can exchange report templates between different SAP Systems.

7.2.4.1. How to import report templates


First upload the files dat-files (for example SDS_EU_2010_1.dat ) and doc-files on the application server using transfer format BIN (=>transaction CG3Z).
If a UNIX system is used, choose corresponding dat file with ending _unix.dat and rename it
to SDS_x_y.dat.
Then import the dat-file using transaction CG34 "Import Report Templates" or go to Logistics > Environment, Health and Safety -> Basic Data and Tools -> Tools -> Data Transfer -> Import
Report Template
The following settings need to be used:
File with path: <path on application server and file with ending .dat>
Character standard: MS-NT

126

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - material safety data sheet (MSDS) templates
Choose function "Check file". The SAP System checks if the data can be transferred correctly
from the transfer file and matches up the symbols.
Check Symbol Matchup to make sure all symbols are available on system in the correct way.
All entries in the system column must have symbol names. If they do not, check if symbol
generation was carried out on your system.
"Transfer/Start Time" will transfer (import) your file.
WWI will automaticly open the new template document. Check the template by clicking on the
check-button and save it.

7.2.5. Create generation variant


This chapter describes how to create generation variant.
The generation variant makes it possible for only permitted specification data to be output on
a report because it links the report template with a leading validity area and one or more value
assignment ratings.

7.2.5.1. How to create generation variant


Using transaction CG2B you can maintain generation variants for every template.
Or you go to Logistics -> Environment, Health and Safety -> Basic Data and Tools -> Report
Definition -> Edit Generation Variants
In the generation variant the main validity area is defined under "Validity Area"; the area from
which the template will draw its data.

The option "Usage check" is utilized to control the way in which the usages are compared.
There are four options to select: 0, 1, 2 and 3.
If you do not specify a value, the SAP System uses the value 0 as default.
Value 0: The usage is appropriate if - with the same rating used - the generation variant validity
area that is expanded to its countries and regions is the same as or is a subset of the expanded
validity area of the usage with which it is to be compared.

127

SAP AG

SAP EHS Regulatory Content - material safety data sheet (MSDS) templates
Example: Generation variant: DE Value assignment usage: REG_EU If a safety data sheet is
created for Germany, value assignment instances are also taken into account that are valid
for the validity area REG_EU.
Please see the SAP Help function for all the details on the option.
Under "Rating/Validity", additional validity/language combinations can be maintained:

These validity areas or languages must be addressed directly by the WWI coding in the
template (G-Repeating-Group) to be effective. By the use of these Rating/Validity options, it
is for example possible to give out special phrases in English on a template in Chinese or
Spanish.

7.3. Check Implementation


The following steps describe how to check the implementation of material safety data sheet
(MSDS) templates.

Appendix A. How To ...


A.1. How to upload property tree transports files
The upload process consists of three steps:
1. Find out the directory name and path of the import queue for the SAP Transport Management System.
2. Load the transport files into the import directory using the transaction CG3Z.
3. Attach the transport request to the import queue
In the following, the three steps are described:
1. Find out the directory name and path of the import queue for the SAP Transport Management System.
You may ask your SAP system manager or proceed as follows:
Run transaction AL11.
The first part of the directory path is listed after the entry DIR_TRANS, for example "F:
\usr\sap\trans".
Within this directory two sub-directories exist:
The sub-directory "cofiles" where the co-files are stored.
The sub-directory "data" where the data files are stored.
2. Load the transport files into the import directory using the transaction CG3Z.
Start transaction CG3Z.
Enter in the field "Source file on front end" the transport file name including the complete
path on your computer or file server, for example "d:\transfer\K102047.SH2" for a co-file
or "d:\transfer\R102047.SH2" for a data file.
Enter in the field "Target file on application server" the same file name and the complete
path on the SAP Application Server which you found out in Step 1, for example "F:\usr
\sap\trans\cofiles\K102047.SH2" for a co-file or "F:\usr\sap\trans\data\R102047.SH2" for
a data file. Make sure to enter "BIN" in the field "Transfer format for data".
Start the upload process with the push button "Upload". When the upload process has
been successful a message appears.
3. Attach the transport request to the import queue
Navigate to the SAP Transport Management System (transaction STMS).
Choose push button "Import Overview (F5)".
Navigate to the transport domain of your SAP system: Position the cursor on the transport
domain and choose the push button "Display Import Queue" or choose "Double click".
Choose in the menu "Extras" -> "Other requests" -> "Add".
Enter in the field "Transp. Request" the name of the transport request, e.g.
"SH2K102047". The field "Import Queue" is already filled with the selected import queue.
Start the process with the push button "Continue". The transport request is added to the
bottom of the import queue with the highest number.
Please note that the listed "Owner" is the SAP user who created the transport request not
the login-user who started the upload process!

A.2. How to upload files


Upload all phrase import files and the phrase set assignment file from your local drive to the
application server.
129

SAP AG

How To ...
Ask your administrator for the upload path on your application server. You may check for the
path also via transaction AL11.
For example :
\\<server>\ \\Globaltrans\trans or F:\usr\sap\trans\upload
Use transaction CG3Z for uploading and choose BIN(ary) transfer format as shown in the
screen shot below.

Size of path and filename is limited. It may be necessary to either shorten the import file names
or choose a short directory path to upload the files.
Please check that you upload the correct files for the operating system of your application

queue they will appear like:
yyyKxxxxxxx (The system ID as a prefix followed by the "K" of the co-files and the numeric
value.)
Example : K102002.SH2 and R102002.SH2 would be the filenames and the list entry would
be : SH2K102002
Setting filters :
To find the transports you may use a filter. The transports can be identified by user who created
the transport - not the user who did the upload!
Setting the filters is initiated by a mouse click on the column to be filtered and then a click on

refresh the screen with the (first icon in the screen shot above) the van symbol will disappear
when the transport has finished.

A.4. How to import BC sets


If BC Sets have been uploaded (cg3z) you must activate them.

Activation
Choose Tools - Customizing - Business Configuration Sets - Activation in the SAP menu, or
enter the transaction code SCPR20 in the command field.
Enter the name of the BC Set which you want to activate.
Choose Bus.Conf.Set - Activate or the Activate pushbutton.
Enter the transport request number when asked for a Customizing transport request and
choose Continue.
A warning that original tables are overwritten by activation of BC Sets appears. Choose one
of the following three options

132

How To ...
To proceed with the activation, choose Activation.
If several BC Sets are being activated, only those which have not yet sent an error message
are activated.

Simulation
To simulate activation, choose Simulation.
Simulation tests part of the activation procedure and creates an activation log. The log tells
the user whether the simulated activation reached a certain point. A successful simulation
does not guarantee the success of a subsequent activation. The errors in a simulation would
occur during activation.
Simulations write no data in customizing tables or transports.
The system checks for key conflicts in the BC Set.
Key conflicts occur if there are two data records in a hierarchical BC Set with the same key
but different values. In this case it is not clear which of the values is to be put in the original
tables. The activation is cancelled if key conflicts occur.

Result
The result of activation or simulation can be:
Activation successful
Program Response is a status message and all data are written.
Activation ended with warning
Program Response is a status message and most data are written.
Choose Compare with Customizing Tables and read activation log.
Activation ended with error
Activation log displayed automatically, data are not, or only partially, written.
Choose Compare with Customizing Tables and read activation log.

Compare with system tables


Double-click on the BC Set to be compared with the system tables.
Choose Utilities - Compare - With System Tables or the Compare with System Tables icon.
You can display all entries with the Display All pushbutton, or the differences only with the
Only Display Differences pushbutton.

A.5. How to allocate phrase sets


There are two ways to generate phrase sets:
1. Manual generation and allocation of phrase sets
2. During an initial setup: Customizing activity "Generate Standard Phrase Sets"
In the following, both ways are described:
1. Manual generation and allocation of phrase sets
Ensure that no one is working with the affected property tree or is using the affected the
properties and characteristics in the EHS specification workbench.
Run transaction CGCZ "Match Up Master Data" with flag "Match Up ValAss Type and
Char." only. This function determines all characteristics to which phrases can be assigned
- that are characteristics of type CHAR 30. These characteristics are transferred to the
table Phrase set - Attribute assignment (transaction CGAB).

Choose transaction CG1B "Edit phrase sets" and create manually phrase sets for all
characteristics which are described in the file "Changes....pdf" as "new, CHAR 30, multiple phrases" or new, CHAR 30, single phrase. Enter the characteristic key as the new
phrase set key. Add appropriate phrases to the new phrase sets. Exceptions are characteristics such as "Accuracy" or "GLP". For these characteristics, phrase sets already
exist (SAP_EHS_XXXX_XXX_PREC, SAP_EHS_XXXX_XXX_GLP) and can directly be
assigned.
Customers of SAP EHS Regulatory Content - multilanguage phrase library for hazard
communication receive the allocation of phrases to phrase sets of new characteristics
with the corresponding update.
Choose transaction CGAB "Edit phrase set-attribute assignment". Assign all new phrase
sets to the appropriate characteristics.
Run transaction CGCZ "Match up master data" with flag "Activate Phrasing of Characteristics." only. This function assigns the function module
134

SAP AG

How To ...
C14K_PHRASECHARACT_CHECK to all phrase-related characteristics. This enables
the system to call an assigned phrase set in the specification data base.

2. During an initial setup: Customizing activity "Generate Standard Phrase Sets"


Ensure that no one is working with the affected property tree or is using the affected the
properties and characteristics in the EHS specification workbench.
If an EHS system is set up initially the customizing activity "Generate Standard Phrase
Sets" is used in general to create and allocate phrase sets to all characteristics of type
CHAR 30.
Navigate to the activity "Generate Standard Phrase Sets" in the SAP customizing (IMDG)
(path within EHS 3.2 and higher releases: Environment, Health & Safety -> Basic Data and
Tools -> Specification Management -> Specification Data Base Structure -> Settings for
Value Assignment). A complete overview about this activity is given in the corresponding
IMDG activity documentation.
Start the activity.
Phrase sets are generated and allocated to all characteristics of type CHAR 30. Phrases
are not allocated to the new phrase sets. Assignments of phrase sets to characteristics
that already exist are not overwritten by the system.
Some characteristics defined as CHAR 30 are not meant to be assigned to phrase sets,
for example "Value in Non-Standard Unit". These characteristics shall be used to store a
numerical value and a unit but were unfortunately defined as a free text fields of CHAR
30. In this case, the assigned phrase set has to be deleted in the table "Edit phrase
set-attribute assignment" (transaction CGAB) after the standard phrase sets have been
created.
Run transaction CGCZ "Match up master data" with flag "Activate Phrasing of Characteristics" only. This function assigns the function module
C14K_PHRASECHARACT_CHECK to all phrase-related characteristics. This enables the system to call an assigned phrase set in the specification data base.
If the phrase set was deleted in the table "Edit phrase set-attribute assignment" (transaction CGAB) before carrying out this transaction, then the function module
C14K_PHRASECHARACT_CHECK is deleted in the corresponding CHAR 30-characteristic and this characteristic can be filled as a free text field.

A.6. How to create WWI report symbols


Run transaction CGCZ "Match up master data" with flag "Generate Symbols" only. This will
generate the necessary new WWI symbols for the new characteristics.

Additional information:
In a standard R/3 System symbols are generated with descriptions in the logon language. The
flag "Regenerate Symbol Descriptions" within transaction CGCZ can be used to generate the
symbol descriptions in another language different from the logon language.
If the transaction CGCZ is run with the flag "Match Up Symbols-Phrase-Enabled Characteristics" the symbol definitions for the characteristic symbols that have been changed from phraserelated to non-phrase-related (or vice versa) will be updated..

A.7. How to set up the Table-based Value Assignment


There are two ways to set up the Table-based Value Assignment:
1. Set up Table-based Value Assignment for new properties
2. Set up Table-based Value Assignment for existing properties with new characteristics
In the following, both ways are described:
1. Set up Table-based Value Assignment for new properties
1.1. Navigate to the activity "Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment" in the SAP customizing (IMG) (path within EHS 3.2 and higher releases: Environment, Health & Safety ->
Basic Data and Tools -> Specification Management -> Specification Data Base Structure
-> Settings for Value Assignment -> Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment). A complete
overview about this activity is given in the corresponding IMG activity documentation.
1.2. Start the activity. The following screen appears:

1.3. Choose the entry "Create Entries for the Value Assignments". The window "Filling
Customizing Table for Table-based Value Assignment" appears:

137

SAP AG

How To ...

1.4. Enter a property key of a new property or a series of property keys in the field "Value
assgmt type" and start the process (pushbutton "Execute").
A general example for a property key is SAP_EHS_1023_043 (for property "GHS Classification"). Select the property keys of the new properties within a specific property tree
package from the file "Changes_.....pdf". The file name for a specific property tree package can be found in the Appendix.
Please avoid to execute this process with the same property key multiple times because
this would create multiple entries in the customizing table!
1.5. Return to the previous window (push button "Back"):

138

SAP AG

How To ...
1.6. Choose the entry "Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment". The complete customizing table opens. Check all entries for the configured property/properties:
1.7. Return to the previous window (push button "Back"):
1.8. Repeat the steps 1.2 to 1.7 to create the necessary entries for all new properties.
2. Set up Table-based Value Assignment for existing properties with new characteristics
For EHS 3.2 and higher releases you have to change the configuration of existing properties where new characteristics were added and which were already configured for the Table-Based Value Assignment. The recommended procedure is to delete all entries for existing properties with new characteristics in the customizing table and to create the entries
for these properties again (see the following steps 2.1 to 2.14).
If the configuration of the Table-Based Value Assignment for properties with new characteristics was already changed, then these changes should be documented before deleting the
entries. In this case, an alternative could be not to delete all entries for a changed property
but to update the Table-Based Value Assignment for the existing property only (follow steps
1.1 to 1.8). Then, the new characteristics would be appended to the already existing entries
for this property. The correct order of the characteristics would have to be set up manually.
Please note, that the Table-based Value Assignment customizing table can only be changed
in SAP systems where the direct customizing is enabled. If the direct customizing is disabled
(for example in a production system), then the Table-based Value Assignment should be set
up in a system where the direct customizing is enabled (for example a development system).
The correct entries can be then transported to the system with the disabled customizing
(customizing transport).
2.1. Navigate to the activity "Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment" in the SAP customizing (IMG) (path within EHS 3.2 and higher releases: Environment, Health & Safety ->
Basic Data and Tools -> Specification Management -> Specification Data Base Structure
-> Settings for Value Assignment -> Set Up Table-Based Value Assignment). A complete
overview about this activity is given in the corresponding IMG activity documentation.
2.2. Start the activity. The following screen appears:

new characteristics and navigate to this property. Select the property key from the file
"Changes_.....pdf". The specific file name for a certain property tree package can be found
in the Appendix.
2.5. Select all entries for this property.
2.6. Delete the selected entries (push button "Delete").

A.8. How to create passive phrase catalogues


141

SAP AG

How To ...
To create a passive phrase catalogue start the IMG customizing (transaction spro) navigate
to Environment, Health & Safety -> Basic Data and Tools -> Phrase management -> Specify
Phrase Libraries and Phrase Groups.

Requirements : You have already defined the number


ranges for the phrase key.
Note
One library has to be the active library.
It is possible to adopt phrase libraries from non-SAP systems.
You can use all libraries available on the market that support the conversion formats
of the SAP component Environment, Health and Safety (EHS).

Following entries must be made:


Phrase library

CED

Label

CED for EHS

Note

Int. no. range

0I

Ext. no. range

0E

A.9. How to setup number ranges


Here the interval limits of the internal (0I) and the external number range (0E) must be entered.
The internal number range is assigned by the system itself while the automatic key definition
whereas the external number range must contain all phrase keys which are not produced
automatically but entered manually or by phrase import.
EH&S 2.5B and newer: Implementation Guide for R/3 Customizing (IMG) / Environment, Health
& Safety / Product Safety / Phrase Management / Specify Number Ranges for Phrases
EH&S 3.2 and newer: Implementation Guide for R/3 Customizing (IMG) / Environment, Health
& Safety / Basic Data and Tools / Phrase Management / Specify Number Ranges for Phrases
To import the CED phrases the external number range 0E must have the alphanumeric interval
from A to ZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ.
We recommend to designate the internal number range 0I for numeric values only (interval
100000000000000 to 899999999999999).

A.10. How to import phrases


Choose Data Transfer - > Phrases (Transaction CG31) ; please see screen shot below.
"File with path" - Enter the path and file name (same as target file section upload files )
"Character standard" - Choose MS-NT for all files that have no _unicode.dat ending in their
filename; this applies also to unicode systems!
For files with unicode only languages ( with _unicode.dat ending in their filename) choose
UTF-8 as character standard.
You can leave all other options blank
Optional: You can limit the import to certain languages if you want (Button "Language selection" )
Check the file (F5)
Carefully check the displayed information before importing the phrases. Make sure you import to the passive CED or TDCLE library, the versions are correct and no errors are displayed.
If necessary approve the message "Date of phr. lib. to be imported is identical to date of
current library", this is just for your information.
However if the file you want to import is older than the library in your system, you can not
import it. Please make sure you have chosen the correct import file. In section upload files
you can also find information on how to change the header data of your import files.
Choose "Transfer/start time" (F6)
Choose "Immediate" or specify a time
Save

Note
For the TDCLE phrase library you have the choice to import either a single unicode
file including all languages, except for American English and Canadian French, or
separate import files based on the language group.
Due to the size of the phrase library and technical limitations with the phrase import
functionality, the option of a single import file for all languages is currently not available for the CED library.
Phrase import files for CED and TDCLE libraries include all phrases of the library,
not only those that are new or updated. Please be aware that all manual changes
made in your CED or TDCLE phrases will be overwritten.

Caution
Please do not set the flag for full import as this will delete your
passive library!

2. Go to the menu bar ->extras->merge

and select merge.


3. Pressing the "Adopt phrase ID" Button you will take the same phrase IDs into the active
catalogue as you have in the passive one.

145

SAP AG

How To ...

Note
It is not recommended to press the "Determine target phrase" - button as this may
select phrases as target phrases that are not appropriate or may not have e.g. all
language translations.

Note
The merging process normally does not perform well when processing several thousand phrases at one time. Therefore, we strongly recommend that only a part of the
phrase library is merged at one time (e.g. filtered by phrase groups or phrase keys).

A.12. How to import phrase set assignments


Prior to importing phrase set assignments, the phrases have to be merged into the active
library. After uploading the phrase set assignment file, the assignments should to be imported
into SAP EHS.
Choose Data Transfer - > Phrases (Transaction CG31)
"File with path" - Enter the path and file name (same as target file section upload files )
Check the "Phrase Set Assignmt" option as shown in the screenshot below
Check the file (F5)

146

SAP AG

How To ...

Sometimes none or only a few assignments are imported. If you encounter this error, the first
step would be to run this import several times until no more phrases are assigned to phrase
sets. If this does not help an easy work-around is to change the name of the phrase library in
the import file to the name of your active library. Upload and import this modified file. In section
upload files you can also find information on how to change the header data of your import files.
As the phrase set assignment files are based on the latest SAP EHS standard property tree
there will be warnings in the logfile of the import if your system is not updated with the latest
standard property tree. These warnings can usually be ignored. Customers with valid maintenance contracts for SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules for substance and mixture
classification or - substance lists and reference data receive the latest tree as part of their

A.13. How to combine/retire phrases


A.13.1. Combining Duplicate Phrases
Previous versions of retired phrases lists will be delivered on demand. With those the following
should be done.
All phrases in column A will no longer be maintained and should be combined with the phrases
listed in column D .
Combining a phrase adds all phrase set assignments from the no longer used phrase (replaced
phrase) to the phrase that's still in use (combined phrase). Additionally all substance value
assignments will be checked and the no longer used phrase key will be replaced by the combined phrase key.
Please see also the SAP EHS documentation for further information on combining phrases.
(example on next page)
Create a hit list of two or more phrases you want to combine
Check that both phrase texts are identical
Do a check if these phrases are used: -> Extras -> Where-used list
Choose -> Extras -> Combine
Mark the phrase that you want to keep
Choose Execute or Execute in background
Important Notes:
When combining phrases, the phrase positions will not be changed, e.g. missing translations
in one phrase will not be filled with the existing translation of the other phrase nor will changes
to the phrase text or code be made.
If a phrase is used directly on a report template, the symbol for this phrase has to be replaced
manually with the phrase key of the combined phrase. Use the "where-used list" functionality
to check if a phrase is used on a report template.
If a phrase is used, execute the combine as a background job as it might take some time to
update all value assignments with the new phrase key.
Please note that combining phrases may have an influence on e.g. Expert rule sets or data
loads. It may become necessary to change mapping tables accordingly.
For combining phrases when using ALE distribution please take notice of SAP NOTE 727174
Example:

A.13.2. Retired Phrases


Due to regulatory changes or the addition/revision of phrases some of the older phrases of the
CED phrase library may become obsolete. We publish a list of so called "retired phrases" as
a spreadsheet (e.g. CED_2009_1_RetiredPhrases.xls) which is included in the delivery. For
past updates these files can be delivered on demand.
Please review the retired phrases list and inform us if there are phrases that you still need.
After that, please delete any phrases that you no longer need from your active phrase library:
Create a hit list of these phrases
Do a check if these phrases are used: -> Extras -> Where-used list

149

SAP AG

How To ...
If not used, choose -> Edit -> Delete
Phrases deleted from the SAP system are stored in the backup phrase library unless an active
phrase that originated in a passive phrase library is deleted.

A.14. How to create phrase variants


In the phrase library there are several phrases including.? in the phrase text, e.g. .?C. If you
wish to use such a phrases with a specified temperature e.g. 10C, please create a variant
of this phrase.
To do so, create a hit list with the original phrase, mark the phrase and create a copy
(Phrase_CopyTemplate). Then choose a new phrase key starting with P (for permutation) and
safe the new phrase.
Replace the ? in each language of the new P phrase with the chosen number or customer
specific information, in this case 10, and safe again.
Please do not alter the original CED phrase as your changes might be overwritten in one of
the following updates.
It is also possible to replace the qualifier .? automatically by using special user exits at the
phrase. Please see SAP Note 1373615 for more information.
In addition there is a standard functionality for special qualifiers available, that may insert phrases like target organs into another phrase.
Example:
"Causes damage to organs (/$/*_ORG_SING_ORAL/$/) if swallowed." The functionality
would replace the placeholder with the values stored in *_ORG_SING_ORAL (e.g. in
SAP_EHS_1023_044 GHS Target Organs for single exposure, oral). Please note that this
functionality might not work correctly in all languages, because the value used might have an
impact on the wording of the phrase in some languages. It usually works in most Western
and Eastern European languages. Until now, this functionality is able to manage phrases only.
Other values as e.g. numerical ones are not yet covered.
Please see SAP Note 146663 Placeholder phrases for EH&S reports for details on how to
implement the placeholder functionality and how to use it in phrases and WWI templates.

A.15. How to install EHS OCC


On each front-end computer that is used for loads of SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance

sets are explicitly given in the functional description of the rule set and in the appendix for SAP
EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data.

Activities
1. In Customizing for Basic Data and Tools, call the IMG activity Manage User Exits.
2. Create a new user exit with user exit category SUB_SEDACA using
C1E5_SUB_EXPERT_EVALUATE as Function Module (copy the entry of a DEMO-rule set
as template for your new user exit).

155

SAP AG

How To ...

3. Choose Parameters and Values.


The following environment parameters must be set up for the reference modules
C1E5_SUB_EXPERT_EVALUATE:
EXPERT_COMMIT_MODE
Specifies the backup mode for secondary data determination by the EHS Expert.
If you enter the value I, the SAP system creates the new data records that were determined
by the EHS Expert without changing other data records.
If you enter the value D, the SAP system deletes all the existing data records and creates
the newly determined data. If the EXPERT_RES_BY_SRSID_OWNID_FLG parameter is
set, then only those data records are deleted that were determined during previous runs of
the EHS Expert. Using the data origin (parameter EXPERT_WRITE_SOURCE_ID) and the
data provider (parameter EXPERT_WRITE_OWNER) the SAP system recognizes which
data was determined previously by the EHS Expert.

Note
You can determine the address number of the data provider in Customizing for Basic
Data and Tools in the IMG activity Specify Authorization Groups. To do this, call the
input help for the Data prov. field in the IMG activity. You will find the value you require
in the Addr. no. field. The address number is not displayed in address management
in the Product Safety component.
If you enter the value C the SAP system resets the active indicator for the newest of the
data records and deletes all other existing ones. The number of data records to be deactivated can be derived from the parameter EXPERT_NUM_OF_DEACT_VALUATION.
The data records that were newly determined by the EHS Expert are also created. If the
EXPERT_RES_BY_SRSID_OWNID_FLG parameter is set, then only those data records
are deleted that were determined during previous runs of the EHS Expert. This helps
you prevent data records being deleted inadvertently. The SAP system uses the data origin (parameter EXPERT_WRITE_SOURCE_ID) and the data provider (parameter
EXPERT_WRITE_OWNER) to recognize which data was determined previously by the EHS
Expert.
EXPERT_DESTINATION

156

SAP AG

How To ...
Corresponds with the name of the RFC destination that is entered under Tools -> Administration -> Administration -> Network -> RFC Destinations (transaction SM59) (for example
EHS_EXPERT).
EXPERT_READ_RATING and EXPERT_READ_VALIDITY_AREA
Determine the rating and validity area for which the data is transferred from the SAP system
to the EHS Expert.
EXPERT_WRITE_RATING and EXPERT_WRITE_VALIDITY_AREA
Determine the rating and validity area with which the data determined is stored in the SAP
system. In the EHS Expert set of rules you can also specifically define a different rating and
validity area that are used when storing data in the system.
EXPERT_READ_USAGE_1...n and EXPERT_WRITE_USAGE_1...n
These parameters can be used in addition to the two previous parameter pairs. You can
specify any number of usages in the format VACLID/RVLID/EXCLFLG (rating/validity/exclude indicator). The parameter numbering has to start with 1 and has to be consecutive.
Examples
EXPERT_READ_USAGE_1:PUBLIC/REG_EU EXPERT_READ_USAGE_2:PUBLIC/DE/X
In this example, the system reads all data records that are valid in the EU but not in Germany.
EXPERT_WRITE_USAGE_1:PUBLIC/REG_EU
EXPERT_WRITE_USAGE_2:PUBLIC/US
In this example, the system writes all data records that are valid both for the EU and for
the USA.
EXPERT_WRITE_SOURCE_ID
Data origin that must be created in the IMG activity Specify Data Origin.
If no data origin is created, the system issues an error.
EXPERT_RULE_SET
Name of the rule set
The following environment parameters can be set up for the reference module
C1E5_SUB_EXPERT_EVALUATE (not all possible parameters are described here):
EXPERT_COMMIT_FLG
If you set this indicator to X, the system calls the update function specified in the parameter
EXPERT_COMMIT_FUNCTION after the calculation is finished on the Expert server.
If you do not set this indicator, the EHS Expert server directly calls the update function. In
a productive system, we recommend that you set the indicator so that the Expert server is
available again more quickly for other parallel calls. During development and testing it may
be useful to not set the indicator, so that error messages from the update function are logged
in the log files and so you have the option of displaying the runtime of the update function
on the console or in the event display.
EXPERT_NUM_OF_DEACT_VALUATION

157

SAP AG

How To ...
Determines the number of data records that are not deleted for save mode C, but are set
to inactive.
EXPERT_PARAMETER_CHANGE_MODE
If you enter the value S (default), the SAP system displays the Determine Secondary Data dialog box in display mode when starting secondary data determination using the EHS
Expert.
If you enter the value E you can revise the environment parameters in the Determine Secondary Data dialog box when starting secondary data determination using the EHS Expert.
The environment parameters you specified in Customizing are displayed as default values.
If you enter the value H the SAP system does not display the Determine Secondary Data
dialog box when starting secondary data determination using the EHS Expert.
EXPERT_RES_BY_SRSID_OWNID_FLG
Set this indicator if in backup modes C or D only data is to be deleted by the EHS Expert
that was determined during previous runs of the EHS Expert.

Warning
If you do not set this indicator, data that has also been entered manually or imported
can be deleted in backup mode C or D by the EHS Expert during secondary data
determination.
EXPERT_WRITE_OWNER
Data provider that you must have created in the SAP component Product Safety under Tools
-> Addresses -> Edit Data Providers. The data provider must always be entered with 10
digits.
If you do not specify a data provider, the SAP system uses the authorization group for the
specification to determine the respective data provider (see IMG activity Specify Authorization Groups). If the SAP system does not find any data providers there, it creates the data
without a data provider.
EXPERT_HIDDEN_PROCESSING_MODE
You can choose between two operating modes.
ONLINE (default): The EHS Expert run starts immediately after you choose Execute.
BACKGROUND: The EHS Expert runs as a background job. The indicator for the parameter
EXPERT_ASK_FOR_STARTTIME must be set for the start time prompt.
EXPERT_ASK_FOR_STARTTIME
If you set this indicator, you will be prompted in a dialog box when the EHS Expert is to start
as a background job.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_1...n
You can pass any number of parameters to the set of rules. This means you can make sets
of rules configurable. In the set of rules you must create a fact for this purpose that is mapped
to the external ID P:I_TAB_PARAM in fact mapping.
EXPERT_WRITE_RUN_DATE
158

SAP AG

How To ...
With this parameter, the Expert will write the current date with each run of
the given Expert rule: Enter the value X here, and set the further parameters EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT, EXPERT_EXPLANATION_RULE_PROP, and
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DATE_PROP as described below.
You set up the explanation component (optional) of the EHS Expert using the following parameters:
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DISPLAY
If you set this parameter to X and allow the set of rules to run in the foreground, the system
displays the explanation immediately after the set of rules run. For sets of rules that run in
the background, the system does not display the explanation automatically.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_SAVE
Set this parameter to X if you want to save the explanation for the set of rules run in the
specification. If you set the parameter to X, you must also edit the following parameters:
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT
In this parameter you specify the value assignment type in which the explanation is to be
saved as a user-defined text. The standard version of the demo sets of rules contains the
entry SAP_EHS_0101_002. This value assignment type is not in a property tree because
the explanation is not displayed as a user-defined text but in the menu.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_RULE_PROP
In this parameter you specify the characteristic in which the name of the set of rules is
saved to allow its assignment when displayed at a later stage. The characteristic must be in
the same value assignment type as the user-defined text for the explanation. The standard
version of the demo sets of rules contains the entry SAP_EHS_0101_002_RULESET.

Note
If you run a master data match up, the system automatically appends a phrase set
and a check module to the characteristic. You must remove this check module again.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DATE_PROP
In this parameter you specify the characteristic in which the current date is written with each
rule run. The characteristic must be in the same value assignment type as specified in the
parameter EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT. The standard version of the demo sets of
rules contains the entry SAP_EHS_0101_002_RUN_DATE. The last run date is only written
when triggered separately with the parameter EXPERT_WRITE_RUN_DATE.
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_TEXTCAT
In this parameter you specify the user-defined text type with which the explanation is to be
saved in the specification. The standard version of the demo sets of rules contains the entry
EX.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_1
In this parameter you specify the path and name of the index / header file of your SAP EHS
Regulatory Content database.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_2

159

SAP AG

How To ...
In this parameter you can specify a user name to access your SAP EHS Regulatory Content
database if it is stored in a password protected storage location or web server.
EXPERT_ADD_PARAM_3
In this parameter you can specify a password to access your SAP EHS Regulatory Content
database if it is stored in a password protected storage location or web server.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_1
This parameter is the specification key from SAP EHS, it should not be changed.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_2
In this parameter you specify the identifier that OCC should use when looking for substance
data. This is usually either the CAS or the UN number.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_3
In this parameter you specify the identifier that OCC should use for display. Choose an
identifier that is available for all substances like synonym name.
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_4
In this parameter you can specify a second identifier that OCC should use when looking for substance data. This is identifier is only used when the identifier specified in
EXPERT_TAB_FIELD_2 does not give a search result. The main purpose is for loading data
that is not assigned to CAS numbers.

A.26. How to add validity areas


The validity area determines in which jurisdictions values assigned to specifications apply. You
specify validity areas depending on the validity area categories. You can use the validity area
categories to define plants, business areas or regions, for example, as validity areas. You can
assign individual jurisdictions or organizational units at a lower level to each validity area, for
example:
You can assign countries and regions from the country table as validity areas for validity areas
of the category REGION. You can assign other organizational units for validity areas of another
category.
The definition of validity areas is closely linked to the requirements for reports. The validity
areas for this IMG activity are also used in the R/3 component Dangerous Goods Management.

Caution
Be aware, that the validity area "REG_WOLRLD" is "empty" and
has the default behaviour to recognize all countries.
Once you have used a validity area in a productive system, it can
no longer be deleted.
Newly created validity areas are not evaluated correctly by the
Expert before restarting the Expert Server.
Go to the IMG customizing ("spro"):
Navigate to Environment, Health and Safety -> Basic Data and Tools -> Additional Information for Value Assignment -> Usage ->Specify Validity Areas.

3. Parameters and Values are not required for a search user exit and you can leave them
empty.

A.28. How to setup/update XML substance


database for substance lists and reference data
Note
This step is not required if substance lists and reference data is loaded from the SAP
EHS Regulatory Content webserver, only if a local copy of the database is used.
No database server is needed, any file server with a fast connection and sufficient
storage space is suitable.
Your data implementation or update package contains a setup file e.g. cleo_2009-2_region.exe
which includes all required database XML files. Please execute this file and choose the correct
path to your SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data (Product Safety
or Dangerous Goods) database installation. The path must match the entry of the secondary
data determination User Exit for data load, see chapter How to configure the User Exit.

Note
If you are updating an existing database, the setup program will suggest a path for
the installation based on the storage path of the last installation from this computer.
Please carefully check this installation path to avoid mixing up e.g. productive and test
databases.
In your XML substance database folder, a text file called version.txt is stored which
will have information about the currently installed database. Please check the version
file before updating the database to avoid overwriting your database with the same or
older files.
Each installation of the substance lists and reference data XML substance database takes
approximately 1,5 GB for Product Safety and 1,1 GB for Dangerous Goods database.
After installation of the XML files, the structure of the database should look like:

169

SAP AG

How To ...

Product Safety:
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\

main folder with index file and version info


(header.xml and version.txt)

<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\1 subfolder with all CAS numbers starting with 1
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\... subfolders for other CAS numbers starting
with 2 to 9
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\G subfolder with all substance groups
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\N subfolder with all non-substances data, e.g.
mixtures and data with no CAS number

Dangerous Goods and Dangerous Goods with Packaging


Data:
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\

main folder with index file and version info


(head.xml and version.txt)

<path to XML substance database>\CLEO subfolder with all data for DG regulation
\ADN
ADN(R)
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO\... subfolders for other DG regulations
<path to XML substance database>\CLEO subfolder with all available UN numbers
\UN
Alternatively extract the files and burn a DVD if no network folder should be used (performance
loss!). The network path for database must be accessible for all users (read access). For
security reasons, access should be limited to persons allowed to load SAP EHS Regulatory
Content - substance lists and reference data. Please note the path to the database in the
installation protocol.
It is possible to have separate databases for Test, Development and Productive systems. This
allows testing of data updates without impact on the productive data load. If you want to do this,
copy the whole database including all subfolders to a different storage location. In addition,
changes to the mapping database and user exit are required to support multiple databases
(see also chapters How to configure the User Exit, How to configure EHS OCC and How to
setup Mapping Database).

Note
Please make sure that you have a fast network connection between your OCC frontend computer, SAP application server and the storage location of the XML substance
database. WAN connections are usually unsuitable for OCC as large amounts of data
have to be transferred. See also SAP note 1235663 for further hints to improve the
OCC performance.

A.29. How to setup/update mapping database for


SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists
and reference data
170

SAP AG

How To ...
The mapping database file is included in folder 5-Mapping-Database of your SAP EHS Regulatory Content -substance lists and reference data package. The mapping file is named
td_cleo.mdb for product safety and td_cleo_dg.mdb for dangerous goods.

Initial setup of mapping database


This mapping database can either be installed locally for each user or used as a central network-database for all users.
Advantages of a local database:
Fast access during data load
Cache during the first data load is created much faster
No access conflicts if several person are loading data at the same time
Disadvantages of a local database:
During updates, each database needs to be changed/replaced.
Users can have different mapping for phrases, properties and other values, potentially creating inconsistencies in SAP EHS.
Advantages of a central database:
Only one database needs to be maintained/updated
All users have the same mapping settings
Disadvantages of a central database:
If network access is slow or bandwidth is limited, response time during data load might be
longer. Especially creating the cache will be much slower.
In rare cases conflicts in opening the database if several persons are loading substance lists
and reference data at the same time

Note
Please make sure that you have a fast network connection between your OCC frontend computer and the storage location of the mapping database. WAN connections
are usually unsuitable for OCC as large amounts of data have to be transferred. As the
mapping database is used to store cached data for improved performance, this file can
get quite big (over 100 MB). See also SAP note 1235663 for further hints to improve
the OCC performance.
If you are copying the mapping database from a CD/DVD to your local drive/network,
please remove the write protection of the file td_cleo.mdb after copying to your local
drive.
If the active phrase library is different than CUST, changes to the mapping database are required:
1. Open td_cleo.mdb / td_cleo_dg.mdb in MS Access
2. Open table ExpPhraseMap
3. Choose column External_id and replace CUST:
Search for: CUSTReplace with:????- (name of active phrase library)

171

SAP AG

How To ...
Search in: External_id
Compare: Beginning of field
Replace all

Note
If several installations were done for the database (test/dev/prod), we recommend a
separate mapping database for each of the installations.
The OCC mapping database follows the same structure as SAP EHS Expert mapping databases. There are separate mapping tables for properties, phrases and other values:

Updating the mapping database


We recommend replacing the mapping database with the new version included in your update package as additional phrases and regulatory lists are added in the phrase mapping
table. If you have already made your own changes to the mapping database, e.g. renamed
identifiers or phrase mapping changes, please contact us and we will support you in updating
your database. If your active phrase library is different than CUST, changes to the mapping
database as specified above are required.
You can find the path of your mapping database in the ExpertAdmin tool installed on your front
end computer. On the instances tab there should be entries for e.g. CLEO_PS or CLEO_DG
which specify the path to the current mapping database. Please see Section 5.2.7.1.1, How
to configure EHS OCC for details.
Repeat the above steps for all installations of the SAP EHS Regulatory content - substance
lists and reference data mapping database if you are using more than one mapping database
or if each user has a local copy of the mapping database.

Note
We recommend to create a backup copy of your existing mapping database before
overwriting it with the new version of the mapping database.

Tables of the mapping database

ExpRecordMap: Property Mapping


ExpFactMap: Characteristics, Identifiers, Free Text, ... and display order
ExpPhraseMap: Phrases and other values
ExpGroupMap: Not used for OCC
ExpSubstanceMap: Individual filter settings for each substance based on the last load for
this substance
History: Version information and change log
CacheHeaderInfo: Cached information about the index file. Only available after the first data
load.
CacheHeaderAvailableSubstances: Cached data about all available substances in the
database. Only available after the first data load.
CacheHeaderGroup: Cached data about all group assignments in the database. Only available after the first data load.

172

SAP AG

How To ...
In all tables, Internal_id means the key/value in the database and External_id the corresponding key/value in SAP EHS.

A.30. How to install the Update Analysis Tool for


Excel
The Simulation Tool for SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data
is included in folder 6-UpdateTools and can be installed on front-end computers with a few
simple steps:
Copy either cleo_simulation.xlt (MS Excel 97 - 2003) or cleo_simulation.xltm (MS Excel 2007) to your Excel template folder, usually ...\Documents\<user>\Application Data\Microsoft\Templates
As an alternative, open cleo_simulation.xlt in Microsoft Excel 97-2003 and choose "Save
as...". Use the option for Excel templates *.xlt and the correct path to the template folder should be preset. Save as xlt-file to this folder. For MS Excel 2007, open choose
cleo_simulation.xltm and save as "Excel Template with macros" *.xltm

Note
You need to activate the macros in cleo_simulation.xlt / cleo_simulation.xltm or you
will not have access to any of the functionalities of the tool. If you have installed previous versions of the Simulation Tool for Excel you may want to make a copy before
overwriting with the new version. If you do not want to activate macros, we recommend
using the previous version of the tool which was not making use of any macros but
has limited functionality.

Note
In MS Excel 2007, you need to save this Excel file in a trusted directory or you cannot
activate the macros.

A.31. How to configure EHS OCC


The following settings in OCC must be created to support the data load of SAP EHS Regulatory
Content - substance lists and reference data.

Note
Please note that everything described in this chapter is only valid for SAP EHS Open
Content Connector (OCC) Service Pack 21 (November 2009) or higher. Please update
OCC to this version or contact us for the settings in older OCC versions.

Note

IsPhrase

Identifies whether the fact contains values that are to be subject to value
conversion via phrase mapping tables. This will mostly be used for facts
that represent characteristics with phrases assigned in order to convert
an easily recognizable phrase identification used in the set of rules / OCC
XML file to the phrase key in EHS and vice versa.

The first three fields together form a unique identifier for the fact in the set of rules.

A.35. How to adjust the Phrase Mapping


The phrase mapping table contains the regulations for mapping phrase codes used in the set
of rules or OCC XML files to phrase keys in EHS.

Note
Phrase mapping allows an assignment to be made between an internal and an external
value for any fact value. The phrase does not have to be an EHS phrase. The corresponding conversion takes place if the IsPhrase indicator is set in fact mapping.
Expert generates a warning message if the rule set or OCC reads phrases which are
not contained in the Mapping table.
Table Fields in the Phrase Mapping Table (ExpPhraseMap)
Table Field

Meaning

Internal_Id

Phrase code in the set of rules. The rule editor uses a special syntax for
phrase codes to distinguish them from normal texts. For this purpose the
phrase codes are enclosed in square brackets and number signs, for example [#R20#] .

External_Id

Phrase key in EHS

Phrasetext

Phrase text

Options

Options that govern access to the data in EHS more closely

In some cases it might be necessary to enhance/adapt the phrase mapping manually.

Customer specific phrases


The phrase mapping table has to be enhanced if a customer uses additional customer specific
phrases.
To suppress the warning message these phrases have to be added manually to the phrase
mapping table.

Tip
We recommend to insert these phrases using the following pattern:
Internal_Id: <Catalog name>-<Phrase key> , e.g. CUST-N09.00101280
External_Id: <Catalog name>-<Phrase key> , e.g. CUST-N09.00101280
To consider these enhancements for updates of the standard mapping you should label
these manual settings in the database e.g. in the Version column.

Customer specific phrase catalogue


The first part of the phrase key (column: External_Id) always signifies the active phrase catalogue in EHS.
The default phrase mapping is based on the CED Phrase Catalogue.

179

SAP AG

How To ...
The default value for the active phrase catalogue is CUST.
If the active phrase catalogue in the EHS system is named differently then the mapping has
to be changed (using the replace function in MS Access).

A.36. How to write the Last Run Date


The EHS Expert is able to write the current date when running an Expert rule, to allow looking
up when a rule was called for the last time on a given substance. For that purpose, the property
"EHS Expert Explanations" was extended by another characteristic "Last Run Date" allowing
to store a date.
To activate writing the last run date, the following user-exit parameters have to be set:
EXPERT_WRITE_RUN_DATE = X (invokes writing the date)
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT = SAP_EHS_0101_002 (property the explanation is
stored at)
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_RULE_PROP = SAP_EHS_0101_002_RULESET (characteristic within the property given above to save the user-exit name)
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DATE_PROP = SAP_EHS_0101_002_RUN_DATE (characteristic where the date of the last run shall be stored)

A.37. SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance


lists and reference data (Product Safety) Update
Data Load
A.37.1. Review Regulatory Changes
SAP EHS Regulatory Content Release Notes include a brief overview of the new, deleted
and modified regulations in this version. Details about each regulatory list, e.g. list purpose or
mapping to SAP EHS can be found in the content reports which are part of this update.
All documents are available in folder 0-Documentation. This information should be reviewed
prior to continuing the update process.

A.37.2. Update Cached Data


Start OCC for SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data (Product
Safety) for any list substance after you have updated your database. The first load after the
update will analyze the database for new and changed substance and will store this information
locally in your mapping database (cache).
This process may take from less than a minute to several minutes, depending on your network
speed to the database and your front-end computer (memory). Minimum requirements are 512
MB memory, we recommend 1 GB for the initial load.
Only the first load will take this long, after the cache has been rebuild, load times should be
down to only a few seconds again.
We recommend that the first load is done by somebody with a fast connection to the database,
e.g. someone working at the same site as the database installation.

180

SAP AG

How To ...

A.37.3. Review New Filter Settings


For the new lists added with this release, please check the filter settings and change the standard filter settings if required. The default is that new lists will be added to your standard filter
settings as to be loaded.
After reviewing the filter settings, you can define these as the new standard by clicking the
"Default" button.

A.37.4. Hit List of List Substances


SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data comes with a functionality
to search for list substances with new or changed data available. We recommend using this
functionality to create a selection of your list substances that should be checked for new data.

Note
With the SAP EHS Regulatory Content 2009-1 update we have provided enhanced
functionality for the list substance search which performs much faster than older version
of the program. Please check the technical details of this update and make sure that
the new version of the program is installed to avoid long run times or time-out issues.
1. Choose Extended Search: List Substance with new content ...

181

SAP AG

How To ...

2. Specify the path to the file cleo_update_2010-1.txt which can be found in folder 6-UpdateTools.

3. Combine with any other search option, e.g. SUBID or identifiers and execute the search.
4. A hit list of all list substances will be created that potentially have new or updated regulatory
data available.

182

SAP AG

How To ...
5. We recommend saving the created hit list so you have it available in the future without rerunning the query.

Note
Starting with update 2010-1, we also provide a file cleo_new_group_assignments.txt.
This file can be used in the same way as described above, however it generates a list
of substances with new group assignments compared to the last release.

Note
For performance reasons, we are only checking the changes on a per substance level
not on single data sets. As a result you may have substances on your hit list for which
you do not get any new or changed data when you try to load them. This is the case if
You have not licensed all regional packages for SAP EHS Regulatory Content - substance lists and reference data and the changes are in an area you have not licensed.
You have switched off certain lists/regions in your filter settings; changed data therefore will not be displayed.
You have decided not to load certain data and/or groups in the past for this substance, if the change is in one of these data sets, it will not be displayed.

A.37.5. Simulate Data Load


Based on the generated hit list we recommend to simulate the data load first, before you start
loading updates. The simulated update will be exported to a spreadsheet which you can then
use to analyze the changed data for potential impact.
1. Create a hit list of substances either manually or as described in the last chapter of this
guide.
2. Select (all) substances
3. Start the secondary data determination and choose CLEO Product Safety (or a comparable
entry available in your system)
->Utilities -> Secondary Data -> Determination -> CLEO Product Safety
4. Select a substance and press "Set Filters"

5. Set data options "Load Changes Only" and optionally "Use Substance Groups"

183

SAP AG

How To ...

6. Select "Apply to All Substances"


7. Back on the OCC substance list, choose the spreadsheet symbol to simulate the update
data load
8. A suitable program assigned to handle CSV data will be opened, usually this is Microsoft
Excel. Save the spreadsheet that was created with the new and revised list substance data
for further use.

A.37.6. Analyze Changed Data


SAP offers a template for Microsoft Excel which allows a first analysis of the new and changed
list substance data. If the template is not installed on your computer, please follow the steps
described in the SAP EHS Regulatory Content Administration manual or contact us for further
information.
1. Open Excel and create a new spreadsheet using the installed cleo_simulation.xlt as a template:

2.
3.
4.

5.
6.

-> File -> New -> New from template -> General Templates -> cleo_simulation.xlt
When prompted, enable macros
Open the spreadsheet with the new and revised list substance data you created during the
data load simulation if it is no longer open
Click the button Import OCC Data. The tool will check for any open OCC simulation file
and ask for your confirmation to import the data. If no spreadsheet with OCC data is found,
please either copy the data manually or open the correct file (starting with occSimu_*.csv)
Click the button Start Analysis to analyze the imported OCC data.
Save the new spreadsheet

The Simulation spreadsheet offers some functionality for a first analysis of new and changed
data:
Two lines per dataset, the first one (white background) is the new SAP EHS Regulatory
Content data. The second line (grey background) is existing data in SAP EH&S
Pairs of related data are assigned a unique record number in column A, e.g. 1_CLEO and
1_EHS

184

SAP AG

How To ...

In column "Mode" each record is marked as either new, changed or inactivated


Filter options for all fields, e.g. by property or regulatory list
New records are highlighted bold red (complete line)
In changed records, only important changes are highlighted bold red
Inactivated records are highlighted in italics (complete line)
In the top right corner a summary is given (number of substances and records)

Explanation of some fields:


Column A: Unique record number for pairs of related data, e.g. 1_CLEO and 1_EHS
Column B: Substance ID of SAP EH&S (SubID)
Column C: Group ID of SAP CLEO => Data is from a generic group, not for the substance
itself
Column E: Mode - "New" , "Change" or "Inactivated"
Column F: Property - this is the property or identifier with the new/changed data
Column H: CAS number or identifier type
Column I: Name of the substance

Example A.2. Examples


Example 1: Select all substances that have a changed EU Classification
Switch filter of column Mode to "change"
Switch filter of column Property to "CLASSIFICATION"
Example 2: Select all records that have a new entry for notification status
Switch filter of column Mode to "new"
Switch filter of column Property to "NOTIFICATIONSTATUS"
Example 3: Select all substances with a new synonym name identifier:
Switch filter of column Mode to "new"
Switch filter of column Property to "__IDENTIFIERS__"
Switch filter of column CAS/ID Type to "SYN"
Example 4: Select all records with new or changed data for New Zealand:
Switch filter of column Lit. Source to "Custom..."
Define criteria "contains" and "NZ_"

A.37.7. Load Changes to SAP EH&S


There are two different options to load new and changed data into your existing list substances
in SAP EH&S.
If only a few substances need to be updated or if you want to exclude some data from being
updated, the manual process is the best choice.
If the data analysis in the previous chapters has not shown any critical changes and a lot of
substances have new data available, the autoload functionality should be used.

A.37.7.1. Manual update load


A manual update load is almost identical to an initial data load, except for two differences:
The option " Load Changes Only " is set and you can compare the new data with the already
existing data in SAP EH&S directly in OCC.

185

SAP AG

How To ...
1. Create a hit list of substances either manually or as described in Section A.37.4, Hit List
of List Substances
2. Select (all) substances
3. Start the secondary data determination and choose CLEO Product Safety (or a comparable
entry available in your system)
->Utilities -> Secondary Data -> Determination -> CLEO Product Safety
4. If you have selected more than one substance, select a substance from the following screen
and press "Set Filters"
5. Set data options "Load Changes Only" and optionally "Use Substance Groups"
6. Select "Apply to All Substances"
7. Back on the OCC substance list, select the " Ok / Show Regulatory Data" button
8. Compare new and changed data to existing data in SAP EH&S
9. Make your choices on load/no load/etc.
10.Save data to EH&S

A.37.7.2. Mass Load / Autoload


The autoload functionality is different from a standard load as no user interactivity is possible
after a choice of options and filters/regulatory lists was made. All changed and new data will
be automatically loaded into the existing list substances in SAP EH&S.
1. Create a hit list of substances either manually or as described in Section A.37.4, Hit List
of List Substances
2. Select (all) substances
3. Start the secondary data determination and choose CLEO Product Safety (or a comparable
entry available in your system)

4.
5.
6.
7.

->Utilities -> Secondary Data -> Determination -> CLEO Product Safety
Select a substance from the following screen and press "Set Filters"
Set data options "Load Changes Only" and optionally "Use Substance Groups"
Select "Apply to All Substances"
Select the "Autoload" button

Note
If a new group was assigned to a substance, the group information will not be loaded
using the autoload functionality combined with the "load changes only" option. This
is the intended behaviour to avoid unintentional group assignments which were not
reviewed by your regulatory experts.
If new or changed data becomes available within an existing group, your choices in the
past decide if the data will be loaded:
If a group was loaded in the past, all new and changed data will be loaded as well.
If a group was set to "no load" in the past, new and changed data will be ignored
and not loaded.

A.41. How to configure EHS Expert Server as a


Windows Service
Requirements
Your PC runs on the Windows NT or Windows 2000 operating system.
You have installed the EHS Expert server on your PC.
You have configured the EHS Expert server for a certain destination. (In the following, the
destination EHS_EXPERT_TDG_01 is used as an example).

Standard settings
The EHS Expert server as a Windows service consists of the file EHSEXPSV.EXE that is
automatically copied to the corresponding bin directory for Expert installation (for example, c:
\program files\EHS\Expert\bin). The bin directory should also contain the following three files:
The administration program SVCADMIN.EXE, which can be used to install, configure, and
check services
The program library WIN32SVC.DLL
The EHSSTART.EXE file to automatically start and monitor the WWI generation server or
EHS Expert server as a Windows service

Activities
1. Log on as local administrator to the PC

191

SAP AG

How To ...
2. Start the MS-DOS prompt and change to the bin directory for EHS Expert installation
3. Install the service by calling the EHSEXPSV file together with command line parameters as
follows: EHSEXPSV.EXE -I -N<name> -D<destination>.
Example:
EHSEXPSV.EXE -I -NTest -DEHS_EXPERT_TDG_01 installs the Windows service EHS
Expert Server (Test). The destination EHS_EXPERT_TDG_01 is used.
4. Make the settings that are specific to the application for the EHS Expert server as a Windows
NT service.
During the installation, for each service, a key is created with the name
EhsExpertSvc(<name>) under the main key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services.
Start REGEDIT.EXE via Start\Run\regedit.exe
Choose the key EhsExpertSvc(<name>)\Parameter.
Change the parameters if required.
Destination: name of logical SAP R/3 destination
Idle Time: (default value = 1000 ms)
InitialServerCount: Number of EHS Expert server threads that are created directly after
the service is started. (Default value = 1)
MaximumServerCount: Maximum number of EHS Expert server threads. As soon as
the maximum is reached, a warning is logged. The service main thread then only functions as a database server. (Default value = 20)
MaximumServerCount: Maximum number of EHS Expert server threads. As soon as
the maximum is reached, a warning is logged. The service main thread then only functions as a database server. (Default value = 20)
LogDirOptions: (Default value = 1 /F /P /E /L=clean.log)
Syntax: n [/F] [/P] [/E /L=<filename>]
The number n deletes all files whose creation date or change date is more than n
days ago (with 1 <= n <= 365)
/F If the parameter is set, the reference point for deleting is the creation date. If the
parameter is not set, the reference point for deleting is the date of the last access
or last change.
/P If the parameter is set, subdirectory structures are retained and only files are deleted. If the parameter is not set, everything below the current directory is deleted.
/E Logs the names of all files and directories that cannot be deleted owing to restricted
access rights. /L=<filename> Name of log file if parameter /E is set.
Examples:
1 /F /P /E /L=clean.log deletes all files whose creation date is more than a day ago
and log messages are created in the CLEAN.LOG file in the EHS Expert directory.
1 /P deletes all files whose change date is more than a day ago.
5. Configure the application log for Windows NT or Windows 2000.
Start the Windows event viewer (EVENTVWR.EXE).
Change the setting for the application log via Log -> Log settings to the option Overwrite
Events as Needed to prevent an overflow in the event viewer.
6. Test the service.
Start and stop the EHS Expert Server (Test) service using the SVCADMIN.EXE program
from the bin directory of the Expert installation or the Services control in Windows.
Call the EHS Expert Server (Test) from the SAP System.

192

SAP AG

How To ...
Use the event viewer to check whether the respective commands in the application log file
have been logged and whether the language-dependent texts for the events are displayed
in the detail view.
Check whether the service was started automatically on system startup by rebooting the
PC and calling the EHS Expert Server (Test) from the SAP System.
7. To remove an installed service, proceed as follows:
Log on to the PC with administrator rights.
Start the service administration program SVCADMIN.EXE from the bin directory for the
Expert installation.
If necessary, close the current service using the Control and configure services function.
Remove the service using the Uninstall services function.

A.42. How to configure EHS Expert Server as a


console program
To start the EHS Expert as a console program, you call the program EHSEXPER.EXE with
the parameter -D <Name of destination>.
For example: EHSEXPER.EXE -DEHS_EXPERT_TDG_01
If you copied the icons to your desktop when you installed the EHS Expert, change the parameter -D accordingly to the entry in your file SAPRFC.INI.
Alternatively, you can call the program on your front end using the menu command Start > Programs -> EHS Expert. The default parameter -D is here set to EHS_EXPERT. Therefore you have to change the parameter if you have defined another destination in your file
SAPRFC.INI (EHS_EXPERT_TDG_01 in the example)

A.43. How to add user-defined DG texts


User-defined dangerous goods texts are regulation-dependant and may be assigned to specific dangerous goods user-defined text profiles. The dangerous goods user-defined free texts

searching manually for specifications
executing queries
loading sets of hits
A set of specifications appears in the form of a hit list.
2. In the hit list, select the specifications you require and choose Utilities -> Secondary Data
-> Determination.
The Determine secondary data dialog box appears.
3. Choose the EHS Expert user exit by double-clicking.
If you have set the parameter EXPERT_PARAMETER_CHANGE_MODE to S for the
EHS Expert user exit in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools, the SAP system displays
the Determine secondary data dialog box in display mode when secondary data determination is started.
If you have set the parameter EXPERT_PARAMETER_CHANGE_MODE to E for the
EHS Expert user exit in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools, you can edit the environment parameters in the Determine secondary data dialog box when secondary data determination is started. The environment parameters set in Customizing are displayed as
default values. Enter or change the environment parameters as required.

197

SAP AG

How To ...
If you have set the parameter EXPERT_PARAMETER_CHANGE_MODE to H for the
EHS Expert user exit in Customizing for Basic Data and Tools, the SAP system does not
display the Determine secondary data dialog box when secondary data determination is
started.

Result
Using the rules in the set of rules, the EHS Expert determines data for the selected specifications and writes it to the database. When writing the data, the EHS Expert uses the data
you specified in the IMG activity Manage User Exits under the corresponding parameters for
the EHS Expert user exit for rating, validity area, data provider, and data origin, or the data
changed manually in the Expert: Parameter Entry for Data Determination dialog box.
The save mode specified in Customizing or in this dialog box determines whether existing data
records are overwritten, or whether new data records are just added. If the newly determined
data is identical to the data determined at an earlier stage, the system does not delete or create
data if save mode I is not set.
You can use and edit the data that was written to the database by the EHS Expert in the same
way as data entered manually.

Note
Here you should note that if during subsequent manual processing the data origin and
data provider differ from the corresponding parameters of the EHS Expert run, a new
value assignment instance is created in a new EHS Expert run even if the values
then match.

A.48. How to display the Explanation Component


Some of the SAP EHS Regulatory Content - expert rules for substance and mixture classification are delivered with explanations showing intermediate results to be able to trace how the
results determined by the rule were dedicated.
To activate the explanatory tool for an Expert rule, the following steps have to be performed:
Additional user-exit parameters have to be set according to the Expert rule's functional description. The default settings are:
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_SAVE = X (invokes the explanation)
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_ESTCAT = SAP_EHS_0101_002 (property the explanation is
stored at)
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_RULE_PROP = SAP_EHS_0101_002_RULESET (characteristic within the property given above to save the user-exit name)
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_TEXTCAT = EX (defines the user-defined free text category
to be used for the XML stream)
(optional) EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DISPLAY = X (has the explanation displayed automatically after the rule set run)
Create the user-defined free text category defined above (EX in the default case).
Make sure that the characteristic defined above (default: SAP_EHS_0101_002_RULESET)
is not with phrases and remove the phrase set assignment if necessary. Please note that the
phrase set assignment may be made automatically with standard property tree upgrades;
in this case this has to be undone manually!

198

SAP AG

How To ...
If you want to have the current date written with the explanation each time you run the Expert
rule, the following parameters are required in addition:
(optional) EXPERT_WRITE_RUN_DATE = X (invoking saving the date)
(optional)
EXPERT_EXPLANATION_DATE_PROP
=
SAP_EHS_0101_002_RUN_DATE (characteristic where the date is stored)
To display an explanation, create a hit-list of the substance(s) whose explanation shall be
shown and choose in the menu Utilities -> Secondary Data -> Log.
Open the tree structure with a mouse click.
If you are using an EHS 2.7B system with the downgrade for the explanation choose the menu
item specified with the downgrade's installation.
Some of the standard expert rules use the sub rule GS_IDENT, which has an external table
GS_ident_externvalues.mdb where some parameters for the explanation can be customized
individually. For details on these parameters please refer to the rule set's functional description.

A.49. How to generate Log Files


The Expert logging can be activated directly on the Expert server with the help of the Expert
Admin tool or, if the Expert server is configured accordingly, with the EHS Administration Service (transaction cgsadm).
For each rule set instance that shall be logged the logging needs to be activated separately;
this is especially important when sub rules are used, i.e. for DangGoods and NotStat.
To find out which instance is called for a given rule set, please check the user-exit parameter
EXPERT_RULE_SET, or refer to the documentation for the sub rules used.

Using EHS Service administration


1. Start EHS Service administration (transaction cgsadm), click on the Expert Server PC and
choose the Expert Server
2. Change to edit mode (via Menu Service --> Change <-> Display)
3. Activate logging
To activate the logging please go to the Application Parameters tab page and tick the "Logging" flag at the rule set instance to enable the RFC logging, and set the log level to 5 to
set the so-called Exp logging to an appropriate level of detail.

199

SAP AG

How To ...

Caution
Please do not forget to deactivate the logging afterwards, since an activated log level
has a negative impact on the Expert's performance.
4. Run the rule set in EHS
5. Download the files EXP*.log and RFC*.log from the logging directory within the EHS Service
Administration
You can download the files via the menu: Utilities --> File from Server
Choose the logging directory on the Expert Server PC; default is the directory LOG in the
Expert installation directory
NOTE:
The path can only be chosen by a click on the icon
Then choose the icon next to view the directory structure
Mark the files to be transferred and choose the storage path on you computer afterwards

Using ExpertAdmin Tool


1. Logon the Expert Server PC
2. Activate logging
To activate the logging please tick the "Log Data Exchange" flag at the rule set instance to
enable the RFC logging, and set the log level to 5 to set the so-called Exp logging to an
appropriate level of detail. (see screenshot)
3. Run the rule set in EHS

200

SAP AG

How To ...
4. Download the files EXP*.log and RFC*.log from the logging directory (the logging directory
can be specified, default is the directory LOG in the Expert installation directory.)

Caution
Please do not forget to deactivate the logging afterwards, since an activated log level
has a negative impact on the Expert's performance.

A.50. How to adjust external table values


In addition to the files for the rule sets (ruc files and the mapping data base) some rule sets
provide a separate MS-Access data base
The purpose of it is to allow the user to modify the preconfigured data according to the needs
of the customers.
These external parameters are interpreted by the rule set as IN facts.
It is recommended to install this data base in the same directory on the Expert server as the
rule files.
If this external data base is installed somewhere else, the linkage between the rule set and the
external data base must be maintained by defining the file path in the mapping tables.
The
below
mentioned
mapping
information
refers
to
the
OSHA_Hazard_Determination_externvalues.mdb but the approach to adjust the mapping is
the same for all rule sets.

201

SAP AG

How To ...
Example: Record-Mapping Installation of the external data base in the same directory as the
rule set.
Internal_id

External_id

ext_target_organ T:Target_Organ/OSHA_Hazard_Determination_externvalues.mdb
Example: Record-Mapping Full declaration of the path for the external data
Internal_id

External_id

ext_target_organ T:Target_Organ/C:\Program Files\EHS\Expert\Rules


\OSHA_Hazard_Determination_externvalues.mdb
Example: Fact-Mapping Installation of the external data base in the same directory as the
rule set.
Internal_id

External_id

i_switch_harmful T:harmful_check;Switches/
OSHA_Hazard_Determination_externvalues.mdb
Example: Fact-Mapping Full declaration of the path for the external data
Internal_id

External_id

i_switch_harmful T:harmful_check;Switches/C:\Program Files\EHS\Expert\Rules


\OSHA_Hazard_Determination_externvalues.mdb
A documentation of the adjustable parameters could be obtained from the respective functional
descriptions of the rule sets.

A.51. How to adjust the Group Mapping


The composition mapping table contains the regulations for mapping compositions in the set
of rules to value assignment types of the category composition in EHS.
Table Fields in the Composition Mapping Table (ExpGroupMap)
Table Field

Meaning

Internal_Id

Name of the composition in the set of rules. This field uniquely identifies
the composition in the set of rules.

External_Id

Name of the assigned value assignment type of the category composition


in EHS

Descriptions

Description text for the composition

Options

Options that govern access to the data in EHS more closely

A.52. How to setup identification listings


Setting up identification listings is an IMG activity.
Please choose transaction SPRO , then choose SAP Reference-IMG (F5).
Go to: Environment, Health and Safety - Basic Data and Tools - Specification Management Specification Master - Check Identification Listings

202

SAP AG

How To ...
Add the required Identification Listings via "New Entry" including a header, add the required
identifiers to the definition and save.

A.53. How to import report templates


First upload the files dat-files (for example SDS_EU_2010_1.dat ) and doc-files on the application server using transfer format BIN (=>transaction CG3Z).
If a UNIX system is used, choose corresponding dat file with ending _unix.dat and rename it
to SDS_x_y.dat.
Then import the dat-file using transaction CG34 "Import Report Templates" or go to Logistics > Environment, Health and Safety -> Basic Data and Tools -> Tools -> Data Transfer -> Import
Report Template
The following settings need to be used:
File with path: <path on application server and file with ending .dat>
Character standard: MS-NT
Choose function "Check file". The SAP System checks if the data can be transferred correctly
from the transfer file and matches up the symbols.
Check Symbol Matchup to make sure all symbols are available on system in the correct way.
All entries in the system column must have symbol names. If they do not, check if symbol
generation was carried out on your system.

"Transfer/Start Time" will transfer (import) your file.


WWI will automaticly open the new template document. Check the template by clicking on the
check-button and save it.

A.54. How to create generation variant


Using transaction CG2B you can maintain generation variants for every template.
Or you go to Logistics -> Environment, Health and Safety -> Basic Data and Tools -> Report
Definition -> Edit Generation Variants

203

SAP AG

How To ...
In the generation variant the main validity area is defined under "Validity Area"; the area from
which the template will draw its data.

The option "Usage check" is utilized to control the way in which the usages are compared.
There are four options to select: 0, 1, 2 and 3.
If you do not specify a value, the SAP System uses the value 0 as default.
Value 0: The usage is appropriate if - with the same rating used - the generation variant validity
area that is expanded to its countries and regions is the same as or is a subset of the expanded
validity area of the usage with which it is to be compared.
Example: Generation variant: DE Value assignment usage: REG_EU If a safety data sheet is
created for Germany, value assignment instances are also taken into account that are valid
for the validity area REG_EU.
Please see the SAP Help function for all the details on the option.
Under "Rating/Validity", additional validity/language combinations can be maintained:

These validity areas or languages must be addressed directly by the WWI coding in the
template (G-Repeating-Group) to be effective. By the use of these Rating/Validity options, it
is for example possible to give out special phrases in English on a template in Chinese or
Spanish.

Appendix B. Technical Settings


Property Tree Packages
In general, this Appendix contains all relevant information to implement the last property tree
package delivered with the last SAP EHS Regulatory Content Update.
The last SAP EHS Regulatory Content Update is 2011-1. No enhancements to existing properties or no new properties were defined for this update. Therefore, no property tree package
2011-1 was created.
In order to make use of the latest Expert Rules, Substance Lists and Reference Data (delivered with update 2011-1) the contents of the already existing property tree packages such
as 2010-2 Product Safety, 2010-1 Product Safety etc have to have been implemented before
implementing the update 2011-1. This should have already happened with the last SAP EHS
Regulatory Content Updates. If the property tree STANDARD is up to date, no property tree
package has to be installed in the 2011-1 update process.
The existing property tree packages which were delivered in the past are summarized in Chapter 2.

B.1. Settings to implement the last SAP EHS Management Property Tree Package Product Safety
No property tree package is delivered with the 2011-1 update. Therefore, no transports have
to be installed if the property tree STANDARD is up to date, that is if ERP 6.0 EHP6 or all
packages up to 2010-2 were installed.

B.2. Overview about existing property tree packages delivered in the past
The existing property tree packages, which were delivered in the past, are summarized in the
following tables:
