ChaRM: Customizing of Change Request (IBase/Component)

Hi!
By creation of Change Request the value "IBase / Component" should be filled.
The default values here are: "0" and "0".
Has some one already customizng experience here?
I would like to change the value to e.g. "1" and "314" (my productive IBase).
Thank you very much!
regards
H. Thomasson

Hi Holger,
I am not sure about CHARM.
But since CHARM is also based on Service Desk functionality, may be the transaction IB52 can help you.
Executing IB52 transaction, will take u to a screen from where u can select your Installed Base using value help. In most of the cases, there will be only one option.
Just select that iBase, in the following screen, you will be able to see all the attributes of your installed base in the Text tab of the lower right part of the screen which is editable. Here you can make the required changes as you wish.
Reward for helpful answers.
best regds,

SolMan 4.0 CHaRM / CRMD_ORDER: Authorize Change Request by CALL TRANSACTION

After creating a Change Request I need to execute the action "Authorize" by some kind of CALL TRANSACTION but until now I have not found a solution for this. There are a few forum questions similar to this one but all I've seen are still not answered.
The problem is caused by the Toolbar Control in screen "Edit: Normal Correction nnn": the dropdown and select actions are not recorded by the Batch Input Recorder and are not executed, the following function code "SAVE" therefore does not work as needed (thus creating the CRM service process and Task List).
To find out what the event handling really does in order to make SAVE work is handicapted by this: I have not been successful in debugging the execution of the event handler.
Before I start to search for more details (which might turn out as a very time consuming advanture) I would like to ask for some help of you. If you have any idea on how to solve the problem, sharing your expertise would be appreciated. Thank you.

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?

Service Desk - Change IBase component

Hi,
I updated my Solution Manager to the latest available SPs a couple of days ago. After this I found one small problem.
In the service desk, on going to the change option I am unable to change the IBase component. I was able to do this earlier, when I was on SP11
Any idea whether there would be any config which would control this?
Please help.
regards,
Kevin Hill

Dear Friend,
Have you check your authorization assigned to user.
are you authorize to change IBase etc. check and revert.
Most probably it will this error.
Secondly if it is transaction variant .......check IBASE field.....
IF IBASE Field is checked for display only in that case you need to uncheck it open for input.
PLEASE REWARD POINTS.

Change IBase component in Support Message

Hi experts!
I have the following problem: In SAP note [1080135|https://websmp230.sap-ag.de/sap(bD1kZSZjPTAwMQ==)/bc/bsp/spn/sapnotes/index2.htm?numm=1080135&nlang=DE&smpsrv=https%3a%2f%2fwebsmp209%2esap-ag%2ede] you find a solution on how to prevent the change of the IBase component once the message is created.
I want to do the exact opposite thing. I am looking for a way to be able to change the IBase component of a support message when it is edited.
If anybody knows how to achieve this, I would be very thankful.
Best regards
Gerold

Implement BADI CRM_ORDER_FIELDCHECK and set the fields 'IB_IBASE' and 'IB_INSTANCE' to changeable.
For further details see class CL_IM_AI_SDK_ORDER_FC_SV where the fields are initially locked.

IBase component field cannot be modified anymore in ticket after SP16

Hi all,
I have a customer that is not happy about the fact that the Service Desk IBase component cannot be changed in tickets after installing SP16.
Also see: Service Desk - Change IBase component
However, what we don't understand is why in ONE of the tickets we have created this field is editable.
Do you think that this may be a bug? Or perhaps we did something different with this one ticket?
Thanks in advance for any help you can give us.
KR,
Brodo

Hi,
The replies by SAP were as follows
Hi Kevin,
I have enquired with my colleagues in the next level of support and
was informed that it is not possible to change the ibase component
in the support desk message as of SP15.
Hello Kevin,
Thank you very much for the update. I am very sorry to state that
the feature is no more available and if you would like to request SAP toenable the feature again, I would suggest you create a development
request. Please refer to the note 357732 for further information
about this.
Hope this information helps
The above interactions happened on 14.08.2008
Would appreciate though if you let me know when you get an update.

Support message and change requests only for production system

Hi guys,
I would like to connect the solman helpesk with CHARM ( CHARM is still running ).
In CHARM I have to create a CR only for production system. ( don't know why - but works as designed).
In SAP helpdesk I can create support messages for every kind of system type but if I want to connect both (HD and CR) , the source system (ibase component) of the issue will copied to the CR and runs in error because of the rule (only p-system) of CHARM.
Of course I can change the ibase to production system manually in SDCR but it seems a very error-prone method.
Now my question: is it possible to change the ibase component due to the creation of CR by copy rule or something like this?
Kind regards
Rayko

Hi Rayko,
We do not have this option.
Once in ChaRM, we assume that the changes will always correct an issue in the PROD system.
I would recommend to open the tickets directly with the PROD system IBase, once the issue is also happening there.
Best Regards,
Fernando

Maintenance cycle linking to change request

hi all,
we have copied std change request sdcr to zdcr and have modifed it by adding action and conditions to it. please advice on the following:
- when creating a followon document, i am not getting a pop up window asking for selection of maintanance cycle. whereas i am getting the pop up window for standard change reuqest. am i missing something here.
Points will be awarded for helpful answers.
regards,
imran

Hello Imran,
As far as the maintenance cycle and my knowledge concern, this maintenance cycle pop up should come when Change Manager (user in ChaRM) authorizes the Change request Document created by Service Desk Employee provided the required authorizations are given to Change Manager. Please let me know the authorizations for Change Manager in your system. If it is a sandbox or development system, you can try assigning the sap_all to change manager and check whether maintenance cycle pop up coming or not.
Hope it helps.

Satish.

CHARM: Automatic assignement for IBase/Component in Change Request

Hi Roel,
many thanks for your response. You talking about service desk issue.
Unfortunately we do not use service desk and create the change requests manually.
As I mentioned of great interest were the issue with customizing of layout and actions within Change requests and documents.
Here some examples:
automatic assignement of change manager to the change request
automatic assignement of Ibase to the change requests
Do you know the customizing procedure here (tcode, documentation) and can help?
Thank you in advance

How to control change request creation for particular IBase Component?

Dear Experts,
Can anybody suggest , how to control change request creation for particular IBase Component?
We have implemented ChaRM which is integrated with SAP ECC & SAP BI.
ChaRM is not integrated with SAP Solution Manager.
End Users are creating support notifications from -Help Menu- Create Support Notification.
The IBase Component is not editable once notification is created. This Ibase is copied to change request when the action-create change document is saved.
Requirement is that, during creation of change document, system should check the IBase component of support notification. If the IBase is related to solution manager system, system should restirct the change request creation.
Kindly suggest how to achieve this.
Regards
Vivek

Hello Vivek,
The way to do what you want is to create a schedule condition for action Create Change Document. The action has to be displayed only when the IBase/Component value differs from SolMan. To add the IBase/Component value to the container so that it can be evaluated during runtime, you will have to create a subtype of BUS2000116 on which condition can be buit.
See the following posts for more information :
Hope this helps,

CHARM - Ibase while creating change request document

Dear All,
When we open the transaction, crmd_order to create change request, the ibase / component came by default as 0 / 0. I want that field to be blank, so that we can make that as mandatory field.
regds,
CB

Hi Yunus,
Your probably have changed the transaction type SLFN to a the customer namespace Z or Y. If this is the case you MUST also "Define Mapping Rules for Copy Control".
Goto SPRO -> SAP Solution Manager -> Scenario-Specific Settings -> Change Management -> Change Request Management -> Extended Configuration -> Change Transaction -> Change Transaction Types -> Copy Control for Change Request Management -> Define Mapping Rules for Copy Control.
Once at this point in the IMG make a copy of SLFN -> ZLFN. This will resolve your problem.
Kind regards,
Latief

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 !

Significance of IBase, Component and Product ID while creating Change Reque

Hello,
When we create a change request via SOLMAN_WORK_CENTER, we are supposed to provide values for
1) IBase
2) Component
3) Product ID
Ibase can be defined as the way SAP differentiates in a multiple system (APO, CRM, ECC) environment, the corresponding environment.
The values corresponding to IBase can be obtained via IB51,52 and 53 tcodes.
Can the value for IBase obtained via SMSY t code also?
What does component and Product ID signify?
Where can we get values for Component and Product ID?
Is Product ID the same as value we get from menu Option System->Status->Installation Number
Is it necessary to provide all 3 values (i.e. IBase, Component , Product ID) while creating change request?
If Not, how will SolMan identify which system the change should point to?
Or only value for Ibase is enough?
Thanks,
Vikas

Ibase can be defined as the way SAP differentiates in a multiple system (APO, CRM, ECC) environment, the corresponding environment.

No
What does component and Product ID signify?
Product ID is not mandatory. I actually hide it in the CRMD_ORDER screen.
Where can we get values for Component and Product ID?
Is Product ID the same as value we get from menu Option System->Status->Installation Number
Component - IB52 as you already mentioned
Product ID - in a customizing table, I've seen it once but can't remember where honestly. As stated, I don't bother with the field
Is it necessary to provide all 3 values (i.e. IBase, Component , Product ID) while creating change request?
The iBase and component are mandatory, odd thing is if you enter the component without entering 1 in the iBase, SolMan will fill the 1 in for you.
If Not, how will SolMan identify which system the change should point to?
By the logical components assigned to your maintenance project. You can actually have transports for more than one production assigned to your change document. For instance you could have a BI and ECC transport assigned to the sane change document. Your tak list will have the dev, testing and production systems for each logical component assigned.
Or only value for Ibase is enough?
I was having this discussion with someone the other day. Since the logical components assigned to the mianteance project really determines what systems you can create transports for, what is the value of the component field? Best I could determine was when you use the Logon on to System action, it points to the one listed in the component field only. other than that, I'm not sure.

Ibase component don't copy from RfC to change document

Hi, experts!
I copied standard roles for ChaRM.
When Change manager release for development RfC, proper ibase component don’t copy to change document.
It occurs if I use copied roles.
I don't see miss authorization in ST01.
Have you any idea why it happens?
Thanks,
Yuliya

Hi Jansi!
Thank you for advice.
I checked settings which described in the blog. It is correct.
I made customizing for copy control.
I have this issue only if use role for change manager. If I do these steps with full authorizations ibase
component copy without any problem. Unfortunately I can’t find miss authorizations.
