Change Request Management without Transport Management

Hello Change Request Management Experts!
I have understood that It is possible to take change request managment in use without transport management. So I could handle Change Request with different statuses without automatic funtions behind these statuies. We like to see how to handle changes between different roles of people and implement the functions after that.
I suppose that I should take only Change Request (approvals) and not Change Documents (execution) from Change Request Management.
Have any of you tried to do that?
Best Regards, Leena Nissilä

Hi Andy,
Thank you for your answer. I have tried to do that also but I where is still some configuration missing because I get error message in: No maintenance cycle is open for the current system. I have also tried to to that maintenance cycle but I thought that it needs CTS activation in some project.
I also like to know what is minimun configuration for change management that I could use SDAD with Service Desk.
I looking forward to you reply,
Br Leena

Change Request Management without Transport Managment System

Hello,
we would like to use the Change Request Management but without using the Transport Managment System (TMS). Means, we do not want that transport request are created automatically, we do not want that it is possible to log on to the satellite systems via the Solution Manager and we do not want to integrate the transport track into the Solution Manager.
What effort do we have to estimate for such a change? Does anybody already use a process like this? We would be grateful for any idea or solution.
Many thanks in advance.
Jenny

Hi Jenny,
you can do this with the following activities in your custom Business Transaction (BT):
- remove un-useful actions from your action list (TA: CRMC_ACTION_CONF)
- remove the action from the actions depending on user status (TA: starting from SPRO)
- unlock the switches from your SMI Project CTS Switches (TA: SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN)
The effort, for copying a standard BT and remove the actions and testing it, is about 5 days, if you already know how to customize a ChaRM BT... last but not least if one of the standard flows is what you really need.
Please let me know if you need more details, otherwise please reward the forum points

Returncode of Transporting a change request

Dear developers,
do you know how to check the returncode when transporting a change request to test or productive system.
In my case I have the special problem that change requests will be transported in an async way so that the developer could not check in the SAP solution manager whether the transport is error free or canceled with an error.
Is there a way to switch the transport management in the solution manager to a synchronous mode?
Best regards,
Jens

Hi Ganesh,
Can I ask something about inactive object here?
I applied notes with SNOTE. But all objects are inactive.
When I activete them, The system requires accesskey.
How could this happen? And any solution for this?
I can't deapply the notes any more. coz it's bug fix for SNOTE.
If I do this, the system will be inconsistent, this happened beffore
Thanks

Transporting change request's

Hi,
a developer has changed a include. Also he has saved the changes in a change request (e.g. XA1817). Few days later I have also changed some lines on the same source code as my colleague and I have saved it on another change request (XA1819).
Now what happens if I transport my change request (XA1819) before transporting the change request from my colleague (XA1819) in productive system?
Thanks
Michael

If the change request was not released, the system should not have allowed you to change the object without putting a change request underneath the request of the other users. Check your colleagues transport request, your request should be apart of it. Then can be released and the changes will move under one transport.
If you see the same object under two different transport requests which are both not released and not tied to each other, then you have a real problem.
I assume that you transport request is tied to your colleagues, check SE10.

Handling unit mangement without Warehouse management

Hello,
We are working on a scenario,wherein we are planning to use handling unit management without warehouse management.Does HU management and WM go hand in hand?
Do you foresee any inconsistencies if HU management is implemented without WM?
What does SAP recommend?
Thanks,
Pankaj

Hello,
WM and HU functionality are independent solutions. WM and HU could be implemented based on your business scenarios. It is pretty common to have WM and HU solutions for the business.
It will be sort of difficult to answer about inconsistency in HU solution without WM. Based on what process you define and what are the intricacies involved you may or may not have true inconsistencies.
You could refer to the SAP best practices help library and see if for your business scenario SAP has a solution and that way you could best define an integrated solution.
Hope this helps.
Thanks,

Delete change request in transport queue

hi,
is there a possibility to delete change requests in the transport queue (stms)?
thanks
mike

hi,
Yes, you can delete change requests in transport queue.
You can do it in SE10. Place the cursor on the item and press delete button on application tool bar. If it dint get deleted. Then right click on request and press Sort/Compress . Then try deleting again.

Local change requests

Dear All,
One of transport request has ersides at
302-> Workbench -> Local change requests . --> When I release the Transport
request its didnot create a data and cofiles under /usr/sap/tans folder.
At the same time Transport request is resides at
302-> Workbench -> DMY Dummy->Released the request -> created the data and cofiles.
1. What is the Difference between Local change requests and DMY transport requests. ?
2. How to get the data and cofiles of transport request resides under Local change requests. is their any way to copy and create a new transport. If yes. How to copy and create a new transport request in sap R3 4.6C.?
Thanks
Malai

Dear Sharath,
Thank you for the detaild information.
I have mistakenly already released local transport request, Now status shows that released. And screen is not editable.
Hence I tried your second options.
Created the copy of "Local Change request" which I already released,
XXXK900206       XXXPADM       For Pmg Modification 20100531 Modification
     XXXPK900207   XXXPADM       Repair (Changed from Unclassified)
         Object list of request
         Comment: Object list included
         Report source
First I released the reference Transport Request. Its released fine, then When I release the transport request it prompt a small window
Object Checks
Not all objects in the request could be locked
Do you want to release them anyway?
Yes or Error or Cancel is available.
I clicked the error button. found that below message on the screen.
Object LIMU REPS ZFFF0020:
Only edit objects from development class ZPF001 in local requests
Object LIMU REPS ZFFF0320:
nly edit objects from development class ZPF001 in local requests
Object LIMU REPS ZFFF0380:
_When I click Icon which resides above error , it prompt me the below window_
Only edit objects from development class ZPN001 in local requests
Message no. TK 332
Diagnosis
Objects in development class ZPN001 cannot be edited in transportable Workbench requests in the current system FNP. The transport routes are configured such that objects from development class ZPN001 can only be edited in local Workbench requests.
System Response
The function terminates.
Procedure
You have the following options:
If you want to transport objects in development class ZPN001 into the target TS1 once only, without changing the configuration of the transport routes, then create a transport of copies in the extended view of the Transport Organizer (Transaction SE01). Go to the request overview and choose Request/task -> Object list -> Include objects to include your objects in this transport of copies.
If you would like objects in development class ZPN001 to be transported generally into the target system TS1, contact your transport administrator. In this case, the configuration of the transport routes must be corrected in the Transport Management System (TMS). For details, see the documentation on the Transport Management System.
PLease let me know how to procedd?.
Thanks
Malai

ChaRM without transport

We'd like to implement ChaRM without transport management yet. But we still need to create transport requests from the UC, so we do need to create a maintenance cycle. Or is there a way to create UCs with transport requests without project and maintenance cycle?
However, upon creation of MC full configuration of the TMS is required! All transports to QAS and PRD are going to be done manually. Do we still need to configure the transport routes?

So, I need to create two consolidation routes for the two layers from DEV to QAS and one delivery route from QAS to PRD ADDITIONALY to the already existing transport routes and this won't be a problem for the existing configuration?
> "Create the consolidation transport routes to SMM:200, transport route must be CLIENT SPECIFIC for the use in Charm scenario, this is real important!"
If I change the transport strategy of the three systems to "client specific", won't this require change of ALL other transport routes that have already been defined for those systems?
> "RFC connections from Solution Manager to DEV, QUA and PRD system, donu2019t forget to create also SM_..._TMW connection to all satellites DEV, QUA and PRD, to clients with customizing, test and production roles, in our example, we will create the RFC connection to 100, 200 and 300. Also to client 000 of all the involved systems, DEV, QUA and PRD systems in our example."
Does this mean I have to have an user in all three systems including in all three 000-clients?

Generate change request with preset of attributes

Hi experts!
We are launching ChaRM in our company.
Before using ChaRM we have handled change requests with a paper-form. Now we think about using Interactive Forms for normal corrections to keep the users look-and-feel like the old paper form, without manual typing the data into the ticket.
My question is: Is there any way to create a change-request in the solution manager from an abap-program?
I found a function module to create a CR-ticket, its called "SOCM_CHANGE_REQU_CREATE".
It works fine, but I'm able to pass only the ticket-type and the short-discription.
The requirement is to pass other data to the ticket, according to data of the pdf-form,
for example texts and business partners (requestor, reason of the change, and so on...)
Is there any programming interface to realize this?
Thank you in advance!
Stefan

Change Request - CHARM

I'm unable to reject Change request in CHARM (Solution Manager).
When I click on action...i'm getting "There are no actions in the worklist". Any suggestions.

Maybe the Change Request, which cannot be approved/rejected by you, is assigned to another IBASE-component or is created with another subject (e.g. development correction instead of urgent correction).
You need corresponding authorization roles for the project (created for the Ibase component) and the different subjects.
Did you start transaction SU53 directly after getting the message concerning missing authorizations / directly after approving or rejecting the Change Request?
You will get more details about the authorization objects, which don't fit.
best regards
Horst

Local Change Request created in PRODUCTION needs to be moved to SANDBOX

I need to transport a request from Production (BWP) to a sandbox system (BS1), but when I create the transport it is created as a Local Change Request. How can I change it to a transportable request? I've checked the development class and it is correct. The package is ZBW and the transport layer is ZBD1. Please help.

Adding further to Santosh's suggestion....
Creating the transport of copies is the easiest option..if this is a one time activity...
Once the the objects are included from the Local change request to the transport of copies...release this...
Then move the tranport files at the OS level to the import queue of the Sandbox system....then in STMS of the SANDBOX..attach these file to the queue and then import it....
Thanks.

ChARM - Change Request status issue

We are currently testing our ChaRM processes. The biggest issue we have with the ChARM system is that transports associated with a Change Request are being imported into subsequent systems regardless of the status of the change request.
For instance...
If I have 5 transports (each having their own change request) in which all 5 have been released from development and have been imported into the quality system. It seems that from this point on, if 3 of the 5 change requests have their status changed to "testing completed", the production import should only import 3 of the 5 tranports. We assumed that if the other two did not have a status of testing completed, they would not be allowed to be imported into production. This causes an issue because all 5 tranports will move to quality and subsequently move to production regardless of the status of the change request. All 5 of these tranports are also on the same maintenance cycle.
Is this the way the system is supposed to work? If so, how do we utilize ChARM in a continuous maintenance production environment?
Your response is appreciated, Thank You for your help.

Thanks for the update.
So, I guess my next question would be if Change requests and their associated tranports can be moved from one maintenance cycle to another after they have been submitted and released from Dev. My concern is that in our normal production release environment has tranports that pass testing requirements at different times.
For example, Lets say that we release transports into our production system, or "set to go live" for a scheduled import on Tuesday and Thursdays at 5PM.
On Monday, I have 5 transports from 5 different Change Requests that I develop and release the DEV environment. On Tuesday, 3 of the 5 transports have been successfully tested and are cleared to go to Production, however 2 of the Change Requests did not have testing completed.
Is it possible to move the 2 transports to a subsequent maintenance cycle so that the first 3 that successfully passed testing can proceed to go live and import on Tuesday at 5PM?
My concern is that we do not always know upon development release when the Change Request and associated transport will be permitted to go to production.
Thanks much for your help.

Dependency Information for Transport Requests in Change Request Management

If two CTS projects are not assigned to SOLMAN projects, it is possible to define a dependency successor/predecessor relation between two transport requests for the import order. For example I can state that I have to import TR 1 only after the TR 2.
When the CTS projects are assigned to SOLMAN projects, even though you have defined the dependency relation, this is not respected and from the Change Documents you can perform the import in the order you want.
How can I activate this check also in Change Request Management?
Thanks
Antonello

Some things you could take a look on:
1) start report /TMWFLOW/CONFIG_SERVICES --> here you can define system, client and project specific locks.
2) Transaction /TMWFLOW/CMSCONF --> also some options for locks and definition of critical objects
3) Transaction /TMWFLOW/LOCKMON --> monitor screen for locked objects and requests.
This is actually not the same functionality as have it in CTS projects directly especially as the locks are removed once a request is removed. The most important thing is still missing here (or at least I haven't found a way to activate): sequence control when importing requests out of parallel projects into production (to prevent downgrading).
Best Regards,
Andy

Change Request Management - Transport Request reimport

Hello,
I have read in a forum on SDN about the following behaviour of Change Request Management in case of a Maintenance Project: after completing import to production environment through Normal correction, when the same maintenance cycle
is used again, ChaRM reimports all the TP's imported in the previous run.
In case of an Implementation Project with Normal correction I guess that this can not happen for an import to Production environment, because it's not possible to use again the same cycle, is it right?
But if we consider the import to Test environment: for example, during a Project cycle, transport request TR1 is imported to Test environment, then cycle status is set again
to "In development" and a new transport request TR2 is created. Is TR1 re-imported, when TR2 is imported to Test?
Thansk a lot,
Stefano

Hi,
Whenyou import a normal correction as per the recommedations from SAP they are asking to de select keep for further imports options,so that when we import other request it will not import the older request.
Please revert for any clarifiaction,
Thanks and Regards,
Avinash.
