Are there any updated SAP functions or Classes to read PM characteristic values?
Currently we are using BAPI_CLASS_GET_CHARACTERISTICS and BAPI_OBJCL_GETCLASSES. This is very inefficient on a Hana database as characteristics are read for each separate object in stead of all required objects at the same time.
Obviously we can write our own methods to read this data, but our preference is to use SAP standard where possible.
