Decision Point change status

Question

Dear Experts,
I'm trying to develop a report to modify the status of a decision point.
I have tried to use the standard function /RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY  and I've tried the method set_attributes of the standard class CL_RPM_DECISION.
In both cases, the return code is OK and apparently the status changed (looking the variables in debug mode) but once the report ends, the old status remains in the database (table /RMP/DECISION).
I  paste the both ABAP code through I'm trying to change the DP status.
Please, could you tell me if I missed something or if there is something wrong?
thanks a lot.
Aupa.
ABAP Code:
When I'm calling the function /RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY  , I do:
ls_context-object_guid = wa_decision-guid.
ls_context-portfolio_guid = lv_porf_guid.
  ls_context-parent_guid = wa_decision-guid.
  CALL FUNCTION '/RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY'
    EXPORTING
      is_context     = ls_context
      iv_language    = lv_lang
      iv_change_mode = lv_chg_mode
      it_comments    = it_item_desc_comments
    IMPORTING
      ev_rc          = lv_rc
    TABLES
      it_attributes  = it_item_desc_attr_ins
      et_msg         = lt_msg.
and when I've tried to use the standard class, I do:
DATA:   lr_decision     TYPE REF TO cl_rpm_decision,
          ls_attributes   TYPE rpm_ts_decision_int,
          ls_decision_int TYPE rpm_ts_decision_int,
          lv_rc           TYPE i.
  DATA: lr_object_manager TYPE REF TO cl_rpm_obj_manager,
        lr_common         TYPE REF TO if_rpm_common.
  lr_object_manager = cl_rpm_obj_manager=>get_instance( ).
  CALL METHOD lr_object_manager->get_appl_object
    EXPORTING
      iv_project_guid  = i_item_guid
      iv_appl_obj_id   = i_decision_id
    iv_appl_obj_guid = i_decision_guid
      iv_appl_obj_ot   = 'EPO'
    RECEIVING
      rr_object        = lr_common.
  lr_decision ?= lr_common.
  CALL METHOD lr_decision->get_attributes
    IMPORTING
      es_attributes = ls_attributes.
Make sure that decision point is in edit mode
  lv_rc = lr_decision->if_rpm_entity~set_edit_mode(
                     cl_rpm_co=>sc_edit_mode_change ).
  IF lv_rc IS NOT INITIAL.
    RAISE error.
  ENDIF.
Update status
  ls_decision_int = ls_attributes.
  ls_decision_int-status = i_status.
  ls_decision_int-active = 'X'.
Set the DP attributes
  lr_decision->set_attributes( ls_decision_int ).
Read new atrributes
  clear ls_decision_int.
  CALL METHOD lr_decision->get_attributes
    IMPORTING
      es_attributes = ls_decision_int.
  e_status = ls_decision_int-status.

When you are using function module to change the decision point status, you must use /RPM/SAVE_CHANGES function module after /RPM/DECISION_POINT_MODIFY function module otherwise the changes will not be committed to database.
When you are using the classes , then you should use object manager ( cl_rpm_obj_manager) instance method do_save.
