Change request without correction

Hello.
Is it possible to create Corrections without link to Transport Request? In case I need to make some changes non-conected with settings in system.

Hi,
If you are looking for a SAP standard one, you may consider Administative correction (SDAD). Else you can always create a transaction type of your choice and does not provide any actions related to the transport. You may consider something like a process flow here.

Changing of iBase in Change Requests and Corrections being processed

Good day!
After going SP18 with Solution Manager our iBase component system has gone "mad": number for productive ERP-system has changed several times.
Because of this change, a number of already approved change requests and corrections in processing can't be modified correctly. I can't change their status by regular operations from system document. Multiple correction/ change request change also won't work. And I can't change the iBase component in this documents, because the field is read only.
How can I close all Change Requests and corrections with old iBase component number?
Is there a way to change the iBase number in already approved Change Requests and Corrections, so i can perform operations with this system documents.

Hello Raguraman!
Thank you for your answer.
Anyway I implemented the note to which you refer, and still can't change iBase component in corrections and change requests which are in process. The "iBase/Component" field is still read only and contains components which do not exist anymore.
Do you know how can I change this values?

Change Request without development

Is there a way to process a Change Request without actually going through development? We have a situation where some development work will actually be done in another system not linked to Solution Manager, but yet we would like to be able to manage the change request for those changes in Solution Manager. (The idea being that all change requests will be managed in the one Solution Manager system.) As our current system is setup right now, we cannot get past the status of "In Development" without actually making any development changes.
Are there any suggestions on how to by-pass this?

Hi Rita,
actually i have the same problem and i think about how to connect non-sap-systems to the change request in sap solution manger.
How did you connect theses systems to the solution manager? What did you do in transaction smsy?
Did you create a project and a maintenance cycle for the change requests of your non-sap-system?
Is therer a possibility to report theses change requests?
Thanks in advance,
Jens

Restrictions belonging relation between Change Request and Corrections?

Hi all,
In standard change process I only can create one change document (correction) to one change request.
Releation 1:1.
Is there a technical restriction belonging the relation between the change request and the corrections?
Does anyone has experience with a 1:n relation in the change process?
Thanks for your help in advance.
Regards,
Alex
Edited by: Alexander Barth on Mar 16, 2009 11:24 AM

Hi Prakhar,
what you described is a process-restriction. It is not a technical restriction.
E.g.: I have a change belonging BI. Therefore I have to change things in BI and ERP 6.0. Why not using one change request with two corrections? One for BI and one for ERP 6.0.
So you are right if you want to create for that situation two change requests. There is no relation between them. How do you control them?
Administration and documentation is important. But it should be useful.
And I am able to set up more than one corrections to one change request technicaly in SolMan.
But is there a deeper technical restriction inside which raise problems later?
For me it seems that SAP wants that a 1:1 relation is used. But why?
Does anyone have an idea?
Thanks.
Regards,
Alex

IBASE & Component in Change Request & Ugent correction

Hi,
I have configured CHARM for following landscape details.
Dev-100
QAS-200
Prod-300
For this I have defined the logical component as 100->200->300 & This is working fine. I mention the IBase & Component for Target system i.e. 300 client & Proceed for ChaRM Cycle.
But I am having one more client in Production i.e 310. So Can I maintain one more logical component say 100->200->310 & mention the target client for Ibase & Component for 310 target client . Will it work.
Regards
PK

Hi PK,
This is std behavior of SDHF : 'The task list of a mainten. cycle contains all the systems that you defined in the maintenance project.
The task list of an urg. correction contains the production system in which the problem occurred, and only the systems on the shortest transport route from the development system to the production system. This implements your urg. correction as quickly as possible.'
Answer to your question is here:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm70ehp1_sp23/helpdata/en/45/51fbdbd4941803e10000000a1553f7/frameset.htm
under 'Urg. Corrections' node you ll see those lines:
"You can use the program CRM_SOCM_SERVICE_REPORT to import urg. corrections simultaneously into production systems.
You can also import completed urg. corrections into parallel production systems with the program /TMWFLOW/SCMA_BTCH_SYNC_UC, or into parallel testsystems
with the program /TMWFLOW/SCMA_BTCH_SYNC_TEST. You can schedule this program so that it runs in the background periodically during the day, with the job wizard (transaction SM36).
You can also use the background tasks /TMWFLOW/SCMA_TRIMP_UC and /TMWFLOW/SCMA_TRIMP_TEST, which are in the maintenance cycle task list.'
More usefull info are under node : 'Scheduling the automatic import of Urg. Corrections'
Hope this helps !

change is request is like a container which consists of all tasks
suppose if you have one task such as creating program or creating structure
or any changes to programs or to structures like that..
when u want to release the request firls u have to release all the tasks in that request then only it will be relesed with out errors
first u should pack all the tasks in request and then only u have to rrelease the request..
Hope i am clear to u..
for any further quiries u can contact me for details see my business card...

Diffenence between task and change request

What is the difference between task and change request? Is it possible to release a change request without releasing a task?

Tasks are a level under the change request. You can have multiple tasks under each change request. You can release a task without releasing the change request, but not vice versa.

Restrict creation of Change Document without a change request

Hello Experts,
Is there a way within Charm to restrict the creation of a change document through crmd_order or a business transaction and instead force the creation of all change documents to start from a change request? Some users are bypassing the approval process through sdcr and are using the push button in crmd_order to create a normal correction without having the change approved.
Please advise on a possible solution to fixing this issue.
Thanks
Mike

Hi Raquel,
Thanks for the quick reply. The problem is that the individuals that have access to create an SDMJ or SDHF are the ones creating them directly from crmd_order instead of through the sdcr approval process. From what you are saying I guess there is no way to force them to go through sdcr instead of creating an sdmj directly from crmd_order if they already have access to create a change document?
Thanks
Mike

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

Change Request - subject is Normal Corre. but its creating Correction SDMI

Hi,
When I am authorizing the Change Request(SDCR) it is creating Correction(SDMI) insted of Normal Correction (SDMJ).
Even though I am selecting subject as Normal Correction (Maintenance). what could be the reason ?
Regards
PK

Dear Prakhar,
Many Thanks. The problem is solved. I have run the same BC set & its working fine.
The problem is that this is the second time I am facing the Issue & it disappears after BC set is run every time.
I dont want every time to run the BC set, because if I do any customization & run BC set then it will remove the customized things.

OSS note - change request - correction instruction

Hi Gurus,
when you apply an OSS note SAP creates automatically a change request containing the objects you modify.
Among these objects I can also see a list of "Correction Instructions", what is the meaning of this list?
What information it contains?
Suppose I have implemented 2 OSS notes obtaining a similar CR:
CR_number_XXX
--- Report source code:
code1
code2
Correction instructions:
1
2
3
4
Now I want to transport only modifications about, for example, code1. Is it enough to delete code2 from the CR?
Or should I delete also the unuseful instructions?
Thanks
TD

Hello,
Correction instructions sometimes differ for different SAP Release. Hence you can see several corrections in a note.You should select the appropriate instruction for (check your SAP release) and carry out the changes required.
You must transport all the objects under a particular instruction.

Ajith
