Problem in Activation of the SFC after SFC serialization

Question

Hi Experts,
I am trying to do SFC serialization. I am able to do it.However after serialization , the old SFC  became INVALID but new SFC is not
becoming active at next operation. I am trying as follows in Activity Hook at PRE_START hook point.
SplitSerializeServiceInterface   serializeService = (SplitSerializeServiceInterface )ServiceLocator.getService("com.sap.me.production",
"SplitSerializeService");
SerializeSfcRequest request = new SerializeSfcRequest();
request.setSfcRef("OLD_SFC") ;
List<SerializeSfcDetail> newSfcList = new ArrayList <SerializeSfcDetail> ();
SerializeSfcDetail serializeSfc =new SerializeSfcDetail();
serializeSfc.setSfc("NEW_SFC");
newSfcList.add(serializeSfc);
request.setNewSfcList(newSfcList);
serializeService.serializeSfc(request );
// If I try as follows.
We are trying to do SFC serialization as follows in an activity at PRE_START hook point. We are able to see new SFC in SFC table of WIP DB. Also SEQUENCE is 2, REASON is S in SFC_ID_HISTORY table. However, the old SFC is not becoming invalid and we could not find the new SFC anywhere in the POD. Could you please help us where we are missing and how we can make sure that SFC is serialized. Code snippet given below.
   SerializeSfcRequest request = new SerializeSfcRequest();
            request.setSfcRef(sfcBO.toString());
            request.setOperationRef(operationBO.toString());
            request.setResourceRef(resourceBO.toString());
            request.setQuantityToSerialize(BigDecimal.valueOf(1.0));
            List<SerializeSfcDetail> newSfcList = new ArrayList <SerializeSfcDetail> ();
            SerializeSfcDetail serializeSfc = new SerializeSfcDetail();
            serializeSfc.setSfc(strNewSFC);
            serializeSfc.setLocation("");       // Is Location compulsory? If yes then what needs to be put here? Resource or Operation or something else?
            newSfcList.add(serializeSfc);
            request.setNewSfcList(newSfcList);
            splitSerializeService.serializeSfc(request);
Thanks in advance,

Answer 1

Can you just lemme know what field is that?
i hope its ot an automatic generated field which are created automatically for the amount or quantity fields.
morever if this is not the case then please try to refresh the tree.. u might see the diffrence.
