Adding Modification Adjustment Transports to SPAM queue

Hello;
As part of my upgrade, I need to remove a table column as the upgrade to component SAP_APPL will re-insert it. However, if I remove it separately from the upgrade, the activation of the table removes the data - which needs to be kept.
I've created a transport that will remove it. How do I include it in the queue when the the stack for SAP_APPL is imported? Will the Modification Adjustment displayed when "queuing" the SAP_APPL stack allow the transport to be imported with them? If so, how do I get the transport into the respective queue so SPAM will see it?
Thanks.
Jim

Hi Jim,
YOu can include Modification Adjustment Transport only in the SPAM import queue.
It is not possible for your to include a normal transport in the SPAM import queue.
for details, you can refer to the online help:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/de/151042f664e12ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm
So my suggestion is to just do SPAM import on your DEV system, and when the import run into the SPDD phase, you can create transport and do modification adjustment for this table. When you do upgrade on QAS and PRD system, you can include the modification adjustment transport generated on DEV system in the SPAM import queue.
For details please refer to the online help:

Software Component Vector in Modification Adjustment Transport

Hello all,
We are in the middle of a support pack project for our SRM system, and I've run into a snag as I prepare to move them into QAS. We've had this system for many years, and when DEV was originally installed in 2000 it was as a B2B 2.0a system. It was upgraded to 2.0b before GoLive, and the QAS and PRD systems were installed directly as 2.0b systems. The entire landscape has been upgraded several times in the twelve years since, and today it is on release SRM 5.0.
The problem is that the DEV system still shows an installed software component of NDI_ERM (Extended Relationship Management) in release 20A. Obviously that is actually long gone, but it still shows up in SPAM in the Display Package Level function, and under Attribute SAPCOMPONENT in the properties of all transport requests released from this system. It should have been passively deleted during the first (or subsequent) upgrade long ago, but for whatever reason that didn't happen. This software component never existed in QAS or PRD and does not show up in SPAM in those systems.
This hasn't been an issue in the past, and so I've just ignored it as I always had bigger fish to fry. I've performed upgrades and support packages for these systems without an issue, but we hadn't done any of these tasks for the past three years.
Until now.
I successfully installed support package stack 28 for SRM 5.0 into DEV a few months ago, and I performed the required modification adjustments in SPAU, creating the usual modification adjustment transport. Now, however, when I am trying to import the support packs into QAS, I have a problem when defining the queue, at the step for adding the modification adjustment transport. The transport is marked with a Software Component Vector that includes the defunct ghost NDI_ERM 20A, and NDI_ERM doesn't exist in QAS. SPAM finds the transport, but marks it with a red light ("Transport does not fit"). Drilling into details shows me that everything matches perfectly except for my ghost. On that line I get "The software component is not installed," and SPAM will not allow me to add the transport into the queue.
I should point out that I can import regular transports just fine, and I'm pretty sure I could just import the queue without the modification adjustment transport, and then import it manually when SPAM gets to the step about performing the adjustment. No doubt that would work, and that's almost certainly what I'm going to end up doing. But it bugs me that I can't fix this.
I have some thoughts about fixes that might work, and I'd like input on whether anyone else has dealt with (and solved) this problem before.
I think that I could probably just delete the line in DEV in table CVERS for NDI_ERM and so have it no longer show up in the attributes of future transports. That might solve the problem going forward, though it won't fix the mod adjust transport I've already released. Any thoughts about this?
I was able to get the existing transport to no longer show NDI_ERM in its attributes by deleting the appropriate line in DEV in table E070A. After doing that the transport looked fine in the STMS queue for QAS when drilling into its properties. However, this apparently isn't enough for SPAM. As I had already uploaded the transport in SPAM once, SPAM 'remembers' it and seems to have therefore cached its properties, including the NDI_ERM software component. I haven't been able to figure out how to get SPAM to 'forget' this transport so I could completely upload it anew and hopefully get new attributes that will then match the correct software component vector for the target system. Resetting the queue status doesn't do it.
Any thoughts on where (what tables) SPAM stores information about modification adjustment transports, and how to clear that information out? Any thoughts on the (admittedly drastic) measures I've mentioned above?
Thanks in advance,
--Matt

Hello,
SAP strictly forbids the modification of those tables for specific Add-Ons or even essential software component. As you do not really delete those products from a SAP system. This will only partially remove meta information from a SAP sytem. After the "reinstallation" the data and many other log files are still exists and may have some really inconvenient side effects in a SAP systems (inconsistent installation, incomplete database table conversion, problems regarding maintenance via notes and support packages, modifications cannot be reverted...) .
Additionaly it will be very difficult or even impossible to resolve upgrade or maintenance issues.
If you have any issue regarding an installation of a SAP product, you should contact the corresponding SAP support. They will provide you the right solution.
Currently SAP only provides for a small subset of Add-Ons the deinstallation.
Thanks a lot for your understanding

About the automation of "Adjust Transport Queue"

Hi, Experts.
I want to know about the automation of "Adjust Transport Queue".
Concretly, I want to copy Transport Data&cofiles
from Transport Domain Controler(DEV) to PRD System.
[Environment]
DEV -- Location A, Domain Controler
QAS -- Location A
PRD -- Location B ** different Location from Domain Controler **
Therefore when I execute Transport to PRD,
"Adjust Transport Queue " is necessary to do.
I know the JOB to refresh Transport List,
but I don't know the JOB to Modify transport Queue.
If you know it , please tell me the way.
Best Regards.
Toshikazu Takahashi.

Hi Pavan,
Thanks for your post.
What’s the version of your TFS?
How did you specific the file path in InvokeProcess activity? Where you stored this batch file, under a local path in your build agent machine?
As the TFS Build will running on build agent machine, so you can create the batch file under a local path in your build agent machine, for example C:\BAT\test.bat, then specific in this “C:\BAT\test.bat” as the
FileName in your InvokeProcess activity. You can refer to Hari’s reply in this similar post:
https://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/vstudio/en-US/b8bcb19f-1296-441c-8356-e701b949445a/tfs-2010-how-to-execute-a-batch-file-after-build?forum=tfsbuild.
Each TFS build’s drop location copied from binaries folder, you can find the binaries folder from
C:\Builds\ID\teamprojectname\builddefinitionname\bin on build agent machine, so you can write your batch script to copy latest files form this binaries folder for each TFS Build.

Adding transports to import queue after System Refresh

Hello All,
Every time we do system refresh from PRD to Sandbox as a part of post refresh activity we need to import all the transports which are in the import queue of PRD(which are not yet imported to PRD) to our Sandbox.
But its a tedious job, as in the import queue many old transports which are still not yet imported to PRD will b there.
So may b around 150+ transport requests in the import queue of PRD, which we need to add those manually from path
Extras---->other requests -
> Add. doing same for 150 times. cant even imagine dat work.
So my question is, Is there any way to get the replica of import queue of PRD to Sandbox.
Some where i read like transport buffer in the path /usr/sap/trans/buffer/<SID> of the system will have list of all transports in the import queue.
So can i copy dat file and replace SID with Sandbox SID and place it in the Sandbox under same path.
Please suggest or give me a correct solution.
Regards,
Ravi

Thanks a lot for your reply.
I had read about using script like tp addtobuffer inorder to add the transports to the import queue some time back.
But forwarding transports is a new method i got to know here which even looks easy too. It would be great if any 1 tell me how forwarding works.
Also it would b fine if who all uses this method of forwarding to add transports to import queue do reply about any problems faced while forwarding requests.
Bcoz in our landscape , transport route is as below
Dev to QA and Sandbox then from QA transports will move to Production.
So after refresh forwarding Transports from PRD to Sandbox, how does this work. Please share your suggestions.
Regards,
Ravi

RFC error when trying to add transport request in queue in STMS..

Hi,
When I try to add a Transport request in queue in STMS transaction. I get RFC error saying some problem with tp program.
But when I go and check the RFC connection through STMS in system overview -> Communication -> RFC setting, it says RFC connection Ok.
What may be the issue ? I really need some light on this..
Regards,
Rajesh.

Hi Rajesh,
At times when u try to add the TR to a queue there would be 2 reasons.
1. If u have imported a TR into a system say QTY and it needs to be re imported, then we delete it fromthe STMS queue and add it again to re import it.
2. If u have some transport from external sap system to be imported here we place the data and Co files in the trans directory and then add the TR to this queue.
A TP failure happens if the data and co files does not exist in the TP directory or else, the TR target system is incorrectly mentioned.
Hope it helps.

When is the entire function group added to the transport request

When you modify a functionmodule in a function group, only the object of the functionmodule( LIMU FUNC) is added to the transport request.
When you modify an include of the function group, the reportsource of that include (LIMU REPS) is added to the transport request.
But under some circumstances the entire function group is added to the transport request (R3TR FUGR).
Can somebody clarify under what circumstances the entire Function Group is added to the transport request?

I was actually looking for the reason why I would find R3TR FUGR objects in requests for existing function groups.
What I found out is that R3TR FUGR is added to the request when :
- the function group is created
- a function is renamed
- the function group is deleted
- you choose : Write Transport Entry, in the context menu of the Function group.
The actual problem was that in our upgraded system (ERP2005) we had a transport containing the function group (R3TR FUGR) and we thought none of these actions had been taken. After talking to the developer in question, I found out he did rename a function module, so I have my solution.
But thanks everybody for the insight.

I added an adjustment layer. Now it only letting me export as AAF?!

What does that mean? Alpha channel? I added an adjustment layer, black and white effects to my entire video. Now its only letting me export as AAF. It's also asking me whether to "embed audio" or "save as legacy file". What in the world does that mean and what should I choose? This is just a draft to show to client.

Ann, when I go to Export, I only get "AAF" and "Final Cut Pro XML" options...I don't see "Media" so that I can choose my options. In one movie, I have an adjustment layer on top of all movie. To make the movie black and white.
But another movie is just plain. And still I get only "AAF".
The first tim I went to export this movie, regular, I exported as .mov Now it's not letting me do that. What's going on? I have to show this to my boss in few hours...
Thank you so much.

Cannot see transported items in Queue, even after releasing them.

I cannot see transported items in Queue, even after releasing them. When Iam in transaction: SE09, I am able to see all the released objects, and the check marks next to each one which looks good...Where are these files? Under usr/sap/trans, they show up under logs with nothing in them except log data...Not in Cofiles & datafiles either.
Any input would be greatly appreciated.
Alan

Hello Jazz!
Our developer released them, and I will get more details from him. We can see them when in SE09/10. Just cannot see them in the import queue? Also can't find the files under: usr/sap/trans, except the logs???
We just want to find these files, and either zip them up, or put them on a CD for later use, and this project will wind down soon.
Any other suggestions on how we can find these files, as all exports normally show up in usr/sap/trans/data, and cofiles...but not in this case???.
Thanks Again,
Alan

CRM Support Package Manager - Add transport request to queue

Hi,
I'm applying CRM Support Packages with SP_MANAGER on the production system.
I already applied these SP on the development system, I performed an SPAU adjustment, selected the corresponding transport request to use it on the production system, but SP_MANAGER didn't asked for this transport on the production system.
How can I add the SPAU adjustment to the queue with SP_MANAGER ?
Kind regards,
Christophe

Hi,
That's why I opened this message: in step 1 of the procedure described by the link (http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04s/helpdata/EN/de/151042f664e12ce10000000a1550b0/content.htm), the system should ask for a transport request. This is not the case here, despite the fact that the correct setting is set in SPAM.
Any other idea ?
That's not a problem since I can use a workaround (import via STMS when the system asks to perform the adjustment), but I wonder why the system doesn't ask for a transport request in the case of a CRM system.
Kind regards,
Christophe

Import of maintenance cycle with deleted transport requests in queue

We use Solution manager 7.0 with one maintenance cycle per satelite system landscape.
In this maintenance cycle Regular corrections and Urg. corrections are used.
When a transport request (connected to a correction) is re-imported into the quality assurance system.
The transport request triggers a deletion and "add to buffer" of the same request into the import queue of the production system.
The sequence of the transport in the production queue is correct before the "import all" into production is triggered via the tasklist of the maintenance cycle.
During the "import all" of the maintenance cycle into production the re-imported requests are pushed to the end of the importqueue.
The re-imported transports are imported last in the sequence and left in the importqueue.
The deletion of the request in the import queue causes this problem.
Re-importing a request is sometimes unavoidable (E.g. after a client copy to QAS).
All our satelite systems have a 3-tier landscape with a simple transport routes configuration.
We are looking for a solution to problem, this can be either technical or adjusting procedures.
Kind regards
Gert-jan Meijer

Hi Gert-Jan,
We do the same and we don't face this issue. There is thus a solution.
I never had this case, this might be a parameter in your QAS refresh procedure.
1/ If you empty your production import buffer (meaning you import it all to production) before tacking the production copy you will never have this issue.
2/ If you have some transportd left in the import buffer of production , you have this issue ? I guess this is our case
I will try to reformulate the case.
The refresh of QAS is causing the lost of some customizing that were not yet imported in production but was imported in QAS prior to the refresh of QAS.
When you reimport the "overwritten" transports in QAS after the refresh, this transport is removed from the QAS import buffer and going too the import buffer of production.
A/The same transport is now twice in the import buffer of production ? we don't have this in our landscape (I even think this was not possible)
B/Or in between this transport has been imported in production and thus you are right it falls in the import buffer of production again with another sequence.
Thank you to confirm your case A or B ?.

Several old/obsolete transports in the queue - how to get rid of them.

We are looking at an upgrade from ECC5 to ECC6 in the near future. As part of that, i'm looking to "clean up" outstanding or unneeded objects in the system.
In this case there are several old (a couple years +/-) transport requests in the queue for our production system. None of these ever made it all the way through, or issues were discovered in QA so the object was modified and put in a new transport, which did make it into Production. Leaving these unneeded transports sitting in the queue.
1) will these be an issue for the upgrade
2) how do I go about cleaning them out of the queue? Or should I? Or can I?
I'm open to suggestions on how to manage these old transports.
(Now we will move up an incorrect transport followed immediately with the corrected transport, thereby removing an unwanted transport. Unfortunately this was always done in the early days.)
Thanks for your suggestions
Laurie McGinley

You are talking about transport buffer for your prod.
This has no link to your upgrade process.
During the upgrade, it will look for open transports that were not released.( it 'll not look for the transports added to the queue)
For cleanup, you can try the option from tp command.

Handling Modification Adjustment in Subsequent System

Hello All,
I am upgrading my Ecc to EHP4 and want the SPDD and SPAU modification to be used in the subsequent System.
I have read the installation document and understood the following.
Pre-reqisite :The CTS should be configured and the trans should be shareble across the dev-qa-prd
FOR SPDD(in the shadow system)
1.) Create a Transport Request
2.) Flag it for transport in the SPDD t-code
3.) After all the corrections are saved in the TASK, release the task.Do not release the teansport request.
FOR SPAU (after the downtime
1.) Create a Transport Request
2.) Flag it for transport in the SPAU t-code
3.) After all the corrections are saved in the TASK, release the task.Do not release the transport request.
So both this request will be registered in the umodauto.lst file under the usr/sap/trans directory.
Regards
Anthony

Hello Sunny
Thank you for the rely.
I have a little confussion.
I just checked the bin directory of the EHPI installation directory for the umodauto.lst and i found this
/usr/sap/EHPI/EHPI/abap/bin
rasupt1:rpdadm 3> more umodauto.lst
SPAU 701 RPDK912052
SPDD 700 RPDK912049
And when i checked the global trans for the umodauto.lst i got the following
/usr/sap/trans/bin
rasupt1:rpdadm 6> more umodauto.lst
SPAU 701 RPDK912052
In the EHPI instalation directory i get both the SPDD and SPAU Transport request, where as in the global trans/bin there is only the entry of the SPAU .
I am confused as to
1.)what file the next installation will be checking
2.) And why the SPDD entry has not appeared in the global trans/bin
If you have some idea .. it will be helpfull

Anthony

Regarding Screen Painter object modification adjustment in SPAU

Hi all,
We are upgrading SAP 4.6 C to ECC 6.0.I have query related to SPAU transaction.
How do we adjust the modification for Screen in SPAU transaction. The traffic light in front of screen object is Green.
I have gone through the help.sap.com also but the screen adjustment document is not valid for ECC 6.0 , it's valid for ECC5.0.
Can anybody suggest what exactly is to be done in this case if anybody has done it on ECC 6.0 . Has anybody done it earlier in any ECC6.0 Project?
Good solution will be rewarded.
Thanks & Regards
