SAP BW 7.4 Maintain characteristics

Unfortunately, SAP shifted the maintenance of master data in SAP BW 7.4 into the Web. Not everyone wants to maintain the master data on the
Web. Here is a small workaround.

1. Call transaction se37
2. Call function block RSDMD_MDMT
3. Put a breakpoint in line 281
4. Call transaction rsdmd
5. Select characteristic
6. Run
7. Select Variablel_use_old_ui with a double click
8. Change Value
9. Set value to X and then press Enter
10. Run

Now it is possible to maintain the characteristic in the BW.
