Assigment maintenance cycle -- system (IBASE) in CharM

Hello!
I have the problem to establish CharM functionality.
When I try to set a urgent correction in status "In Development" I get the following error:
No maintenance cycle is open for the current system
My question are:
- How do this assignment maintenance cycle <--> system (IBASE) work?
- Is it perhaps possible to execute this assignment manually?
- Is there some log files that can be analysed for this problem?
Thanks & regards
Thom

Hi,
About this issue, there is a detail information about this in blog point 6 u201CChanges in the logical components of a project where Charm is already activatedu201D.
This is the link: http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/15116
So, you have to change the transport route accordingly and then close current maintenance cycle and generate a new one.
Following is the steps.
1: please import all the transport requests which were associated in the current maintenance cycle task list by STMS manually import.
1: change transport route from DEV > PREPROD >PROD to DEV > USER > PROD on the domain controller system.
2: close current maintenance cycle.
3: change the system landscape to DEV > USER > PROD in solar_project_admin.
4: generate a new maintenance cycle.
Thanks
Regards,
Vikram

Adding a new system to existing ChaRM Project

Hi,
We have configured Charm in our landscape and we use Solution Manager 7.1 SP08.
Requirements:
Add a new system to the existing ChaRM Project.
Edit the logical components for e.g. To replace current SID (QA1) with another SID (QA2)
Add items (Systems or Tasks)to the existing task list
We faced problems (duplicate record dumps), while configuring as per our requirements above. SAP suggested us to
Close the Project and create a new one to include a new system. [This is not feasible for us]
Close the current maintenance cycle and create a new one if you want to edit the logical systems or to add any task or system to the existing task list.
So we have the following questions
What is the impact on closing the current maintenance cycle? We have half of transports in released and half in locked status.What happens to the transports that are not yet released?
Will they automatically get released or
Will they not get impacted or
Will they get assigned to the new maintenance cycle automatically or
Do we need to do it manually or does it not matter
Since we are close to starting our ITC, how do we go about that? How will we bundle our transports for our ITC with different maintenance cycles holding transports
What is the impact on locking a maintenance cycle?
What is the impact on project team members on creating a new maintenance cycle?
How does the maintenance cycle get impacted if we refresh existing systems?
Have you faced a similar problem? Is there an alternate solution?
If we need to add a new development system to the Project do we need to close the current project or just add it to a new maintenance cycle?
Reporting
How do we run a report for stats by Maintenance cycle
--> System --> Transport released
--> System --> Transports created (not released)
How does reporting get impacted if we make the changes stated above

Hi Nanada,
check the below blog,to adding - Add a new system to the existing ChaRM Project.
Charm task list creation for newly added system... | SCN
So we have the following questions
What is the impact on closing the current maintenance cycle? We have half of transports in released and half in locked status. - dont close the MC with out proper TR movement in PRD. it will make the system inconsistency. if it is released TR not able to unassigned from MC . this feature available from SP10. What happens to the transports that are not yet released?
Will they automatically get released or - no
Will they not get impacted or - make solman inconsistency
Will they get assigned to the new maintenance cycle automatically or- if not released from DEv, it needs to assign manually from one MC to other MC
https://websmp106.sap-ag.de/~sapidb/011000358700000611352012E/index.htm
Do we need to do it manually or does it not matter - yes, check the above link

Charm implementation: No maintenance cycle is open for the current system

Gurus,
I'm in implementation project to use charm.
I've created SDCR using charm_create, and choose transaction type subject "Development (implementation)"
After approving the change request, so that the status become "Approved", I re-open the request to set into "in development", but there's error:
"No maintenance cycle is open for the current system"
I've checked notes and search the forum but not relevant to my subject.
Please help.
Regards,

Hi Cesar,
I'm facing this issue now. I have followed Dolores blog
- The IBase is wrong: The IBase/component must represent the production system in the project landscape. RP1 is my production
- Lack of authorizations: Assign role "SAP_SOCM_ADMIN" or "SAP_CM_ADMINISTRATOR_COMP" (or equivalent) to the user who would like to approve the change request. I have updated all roles and given the users SAP_ALL
- Project is locked in table /TMWFLOW/PROJMAP: If an error is detected during the processing, then the project might be locked in this table. The customer can unlock it by pressing the refresh button under tab "System Landscape" -> "Change Requests". If there are other error messages shown during the refresh process, the customer must fix those errors beforehand. Refreshed it many times without errors
I'm on the latest level of Solman 7.1 SP8, I have implemented all the new notes as well.
I have attached a screenshot
To me it seems like a bug, but haven't found anything on marketplace. Any help is much appreciated.
Cheers

ChaRM Error - "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system"

Hello All,
I am setting up ChaRM in development system after EGI session with SAP support. I have copied standard transactions to custom ones and created Maintenance and Implementation project to run test of all scenarios.
I now come across error of "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system" after I create a change request and in the change document, I cannot see it link with task list and the error message is displayed. I tried it with custom transaction as well as standard SAP transaction (SDCR) and get the same error.
What links a document to a maintenance cycle? Where can I see the config of this setup? I am trying to see where it is broken. I am using the correct IBASE number (production client in logical component), I tried to create a new logical component, new projects with correct settings but it still gives this error message. Please advice.
Thanks and regards,
Nischal

Hi
did you also unlock the maintenance cycle and open for changes in solar_project_admin by right click

No maintenance cycle is open for the current system

Hello!
I have problems to use CharM functionality due to following error:
<b>No maintenance cycle is open for the current system</b>
The error arises when I try to set a urgent correction in status "In Development" I get the following error, menwhile I have an valid maintenance cycle active.
I use CharM functionality for the solution consisting of an single system with two clients:
SRM:000 (as DEV-system) (system role: source system)
SRM:100 (as PRD-system) (system role: target system)
- No maintenance cycle is open for the current system (meanwhile I have a valid maintenance cycle created and activated).
Futhermore I get the additional warning:
IBase component is not a productive system in system lanscape
Can some help me with this issue?
Thank you very much!
regards
Thom

Hello Kriti,
thank you very much for your response.
Unfortunately I also thought about it.
Basically my CharM procedure looks as follows.
I send the message from productive client (I have only one system with client 000 and 100) to Service Desk in SOLMAN.
There I can see the IBase of the productive client.
Then I create a urgent correction by assigning IBase to this IBase of productive client. It is also possible to change the IBase in change mode, so I have tried all the possible values of IBase and get the same error.
My problem also is that I have multiple values of IBase assigmenets, it means one system has multiple assigments to IBase components.
I do not know how to delete/cut these settings....
Thank you for your further help!
regards
Thom

Error "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system"

Hi,
I'm setting up the ChaRM for test purposes.
I have done everything according to SAP Expert Guided session requirements (like Basic configuration, Landscape and TSMS set-up) and also was reading and checking the following Blog " Change Request Management scenario: Working examples"
/people/dolores.correa/blog/2009/07/23/change-request-management-scenario-working-examples
Everything seems to be ok:
1) Landscape ok, IBase created and active, Partners assigned to each component
2) Maintenance project created and Maintenance cycle set to "Development with release"
3) I can easily create Change request (I tried Normal correction), approve it.
4) When I open Change Document for approved change reques - it gives error "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system" and I can't proceed with setting Change document status to "In development".
In Change Request I indicate the only IBase (1) and as Component - SolMan clent 803, whish is set-up like PRD.
What could be wrong?
I tried reading all threads but did not get solution - there were suggestions to activate maintenance cycle (in my case it active), to check if business partners are assigned to IBase components (in my case done),
What else?
Thanks in advance,
Ausra Gustainiene

ChaRM: new challenge with maintenance cycle

Dear colleagues,
I have got the following messages for transaction 8157 SDMJ (created from 8156 SDCR):
Header Data No maintenance cycle is open for the current system
Item 1 The item category 'SRVP' is not permitted for product 'SUPPORT_HOTLINE'.
My questions are:
1) Is the product maintenance obligatory for ChaRM?
2) how to detour these errors?
Regards,
Artem Ivashkin

Mainly this errors occurs due to locked maintenance cycle so goto solar_project_admin and then unlock by right click on the top or it may be due to wrong ibase other ,possible reasons are
- The IBase is wrong: The IBase/component must represent the production system in the project landscape.
- Lack of authorizations: Assign role "SAP_SOCM_ADMIN" or "SAP_CM_ADMINISTRATOR_COMP" (or equivalent) to the user who would like to approve the change request.
- Project is locked in table /TMWFLOW/PROJMAP: If an error is detected during the processing, then the project might be locked in this table. The customer can unlock it by pressing the refresh button under tab "System Landscape" -> "Change Requests". If there are other error messages shown during the refresh process, the customer must fix those errors beforehand.
P.S. The 'Check' button under tab 'Change Requests' (the same as transaction /TMWFLOW/CHARMCHK) will only do the checking. On the other hand, the 'Refresh' button will do the checking and update the relevant database entries.

check the above reasons mainly refresh

Multiple system maintenance cycles are not shown in pop up for selection

Hi,
In change manager, when we create a change document from a change request, we dont get a pop up for selection of maintenance cycles with multiple systems in it.
The change document is getting created by taking the only available maintenance cycle with only that system.
Is there any configuration for this?
Regards,
Dipti Sawarkar.

Hi Christian,
Thanks for your reply.
I know the pop up will come only when there is more than one maintenance cycles for that production system.
I have done configuration for Normal correction.( SDMJ) and customized it (ZDMJ).
When I try to create a CD* from CR* for a particular production system ( CCP) , it just takes up a maintenance cycle for CCP system and doesnt show up any pop for selection of maint cycles whereas I have created 5 maintenance cycles for this system CCP.
The other 4 maintenance cycles have multiple landscapes (CCP and EAP )in it whereas this one (which gets selected by default) just has CCP landscape in it.
The strange part is that when I try to create a stand alone CD ( without CR ) , it will give that pop up showing all 5 maint cycles. But this is not happening when I create a CD from a CR.
I have never done/ seen configuration for the pop up of selecting maint cycles in ChaRM.
Looking forward to ur help,
( *CD - Change Document and * CR - Change Request)

Dipti Sawarkar.

Inconsistency with maintenance cycle and task list phases in ChaRM

Hi Experts,
I'm deploying ChaRM with SolMan 4.0 SP09.
I was testing a scenario where there are more than one maintenance project open for same landscape (different logical components but values are the same). I have been using maintenance cycle document (in crmd_order) to control phase changes both in task list and in maintenance cycle.
I received an error message stating that the system has reset the status of the maintenance cycle and the end result was that task list phase is one step ahead of the maintenance cycle. This of course causes the situation where certain actions are no longer possible (maintenance cycle in Dev with release but task list already in test => release and import are not possible and reseting phase with task list is prevented by ChaRM).
My question is how do I restore the inconsistency. I have looked for notes (but of course this is not a notes issue) and the internet for solution.
I am very greatful for any hints you may give me!
Kind regards,
Auli

Thank you!
Exactly what I'm trying to do. I'll give it a go and get back to you asap.

Cannot Close Maintenance Cycle in CHARM

Hi,
I'm testing CHARM and I'm trying to set the Maintenance Cycle (SDMN) to "Complete", but it's giving me an error.
Error: "Move to Next Maintenance Phase Rejected"
I was able to go through all the maintenance phases successfully as part of my testing, but for some reason the system will not let me close the maintenance cycle.
How can I find the problem?

Hi,
Follow this note to 1134993.
This should solve your problem.

Maintenance cycle - Charm

Dear All,
I am in process of implementing CHARM and i am facing issue in the process flow for maintenance cycle.
In normal changes - we create change request and a maintenance cycle (MC) is attached to it. Once we change the status to Dev with release then changes are moved to Test system (transport of copies) and after successful testing (actual transport request is released) we change MC status to Test then changes moves to Test system. Then MC moves to Go live and then changes are imported to production. Now when status of MC is go live then we need to change the status back to dev with release which is not working instead it gets insync with the project phase. Kindly let me know if anyone has faced the similar situation.
Can you someone please clarify how mc status should work in case of normal changes.
Regards
Sushant

Hi Sushant,
1. try to change the phase of the project cycle without assigning any Change Document to it .
2. Number Ranges
"Before you can begin using Change Request Management transaction types, you must ensure that a number range is defined for these transaction types. The number range interval determines the sequential numbers assigned to newly created transactions. "
To do so you can use transaction SNUM and enter CRM_SERVIC as the number range object.
The number range interval which the system uses is defined in the transaction customizing in the Transaction Numbering section.

Completing / closing Charm Maintenance Cycle

Hi All,
I am trying to close the CHARM Maintenance Cycle. But get an RFC related error as mentioned below.
"Error RFC destination
/TMWFLOW/TL_COMPL_CHK_TR_WO_TL: New Maintenance
Cycle M000000177"
The user id which is trying to close the maintenance cycle in Solman,Is it necessary to have the same user id in Satellite system Development '000' client, with proper RFC connections.
Regards
PK

Hi,
Regarding the error "Error RFC destination
/TMWFLOW/TL_COMPL_CHK_TR_WO_TL" when closing the cycle:
This is usually an issue with the READ RFC user authorizations.
Please add to the READ RFC users to your DEV system (in all
clientsincluding client 000) the appropriate authorizations (e.g.
profile S_TMW_CREATE).
Please see also point 19 of this SDN blog:

No Maintenance Cycle is open for current system

Hi Experts,
We are facing a peculiar problem in ChaRM implementation.
We have successfully created the maintenance cycle .But when we try to create change transaction & get it approved then it is showing an error : " No Maintenance cycle is open for current system".
We have checked all the configuration like STMS & system landscape too. All are working fine.
Any help will be appreciated.
Pooja Mittal.

Hi,
you might have different reasons why it is not working
1 check the status of the tasklist (or cycle) and of your project (service desk document) (via SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN)
2. check your authorisation for project
3. check the subject code of the change request (Implementation or Maintenance project ?) check
CRMD_ORDER on your change request
4. check the type of project you have activated (should match the above subject code) via SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN
5. check the target system of your change request : it should be a productive environment
I hope it helps

Not able to closing the maintenance cycle of charm

Hi Team
I am not able to close the maintenance cycle of charm.
I had already tried with the phase utility report, I had checked my all authorizations and it is fine.
I had gone through most of SCN queries for same, current phase of project cycle is completed however. Not able see the any error logs in SLG1.

Harsh

Hi Rishav,
We had resolve the issue as now we are able to close the cycle successfully,
But new CTS project is not being generated, Any idea, should we need to check this with SAP again.
