ChaRM- How Do We Ensure Transports Are Moved To Prod In The Correct Release

If we have a project that would last 7 months and we start creating Transports during one release cycle, but don't move it to production until the following one, how do we prevent that this is not moving too early?  If  testing approval is recorded too early, it would automatically go with the first release.  If we don't input Testing Approval until it's ready to move, the object is locked by this Transport, which is not desirable either as another Developer may need to begin making changes.  What does SAP recommend and what do other companies do? 
Thanks,
Karen

Hello Karen
If you have big projects that are intersecting for the same SAP system landscape and you want to keep the changes seperate what is often done is create a second line in that SAP system landscape and then retrofit functionality can be used.
Information on retrofit:
Service Market Place -> SAP Support Portal -> SAP Support Infrastructure -> SAP Solution Manager -> SAP Solution Manager Enterprise Edition -> Build & Test, and Deploy -> Retrofit
extract from thread:Retrofit Process
You would have DEV --> ACC --> PRD and another line DEV --> ACC --> PRD for example.
Retrofit functionality in Solution Manager 7.0 does not work automatically in all cases so it does present some challenge.
I have heard however that the retrofit functionality will be seriously expanded in Solution Manager 7.1 and that there most cases can be retrofitted automatically.
Kind regards
Tom

    In general theory, one now has the Edit button for their posts, until someone/anyone Replies to it. I've had Edit available for weeks, as opposed to the old forum's ~ 30 mins.
    That, however, is in theory. I've posted, and immediately seen something that needed editing, only to find NO Replies, yet the Edit button is no longer available, only seconds later. Still, in that same thread, I'd have the Edit button from older posts, to which there had also been no Replies even after several days/weeks. Found one that had to be over a month old, and Edit was still there.
    Do not know the why/how of this behavior. At first, I thought that maybe there WAS a Reply, that "ate" my Edit button, but had not Refreshed on my screen. Refresh still showed no Replies, just no Edit either. In those cases, I just Reply and mention the [Edit].
    Also, it seems that the buttons get very scrambled at times, and Refresh does not always clear that up. I end up clicking where I "think" the right button should be and hope for the best. Seems that when the buttons do bunch up they can appear at random around the page, often three atop one another, and maybe one way the heck out in left-field.
    While I'm on a role, it would be nice to be able to switch between Flattened and Threaded Views on the fly. Each has a use, and having to go to Options and then come back down to the thread is a very slow process. Jive is probably incapable of this, but I can dream.

    Due to recent updates we are asking many of our customers to confirm their information this is nothing to worry about. We are making sure we have the correct information on file and that you are the rightful account holder. Failure to comply with this may result in your account being suspended.
    Is this real or a scam?

    If you changed your Apple ID, you will not  be able to update any of the content that you used in the past. The worse case scenario here would have been to change the password. Really all you needed to do was go on the Apple site and change the password, unless you provided them with information. This will make it difficult for you to deal with turning off Find My iPhone and other Apple ID related steps. All you really needed to do was delete the email.

  • Changes in Unreleased transports are moving

    Hi All,
    I made some config changes to sales document types. I never released the transport as I did not want it to move to the next level before testing.
    A day later, some one else in my team made changes to a different sales document type and released their transport. They then moved this transport to the next level. This took my changes also to the next level even though I have not released my transport. Why did this happen and how can I avoid it?
    I know this does not happen with ABAP programs because if some one is working on a program another developer can not work on it as the system shows it as locked.
    Version: SAP ECC 5.0
    Transport Management: Realtech
    Thanks for the help
    sckr

    Sckr,
    Yes, that's the correct way to have your change protected from being transported. For this particular case, the other team must have done something, which made your changes to to next level. Without releasing your request, your changes (even customizing) would not go to next level.
    When program is modified by someone, then for others its locked but in this case its not because,
    - config changes to sales document is a customizing change, its recorded into a customizing transport request. Customizing change requests usually contain changes or additions to tables or views entries. At the time the change is made in the system, the keys that are identifying the table entry are stored in the transport request task. Table entries are locked ONLY while the customizing transaction is being used, but they are unlocked as soon as the changes are completed and saved to a change request.
    So it is unlike the transportable transport request which keeps the object locked until and unless the request is released or someone forcefully unlock the object in SE03.
    You can always refer SAP Note 1916 for change logging so that to find your last change on the customizing.
    Hope this will clarify your doubt.
    Regards,
    Debasis.

  • How to move a transport request from one client to the other

    Hi,
    I created a new transport request with a lot of elements (and also some modifications), but I made it in the "wrong" client on the system. Now I have the question if there is any possibility to change the client-relation of a  transport request via SE01 (or similar transaction). Copy and Paste of the element list isn't the optimal way, because there are also table contents in the transport request.
    Can you give me a hint?
    Thank you
    Kind regards
    Markus

    Yes you can change the traget client.
    Check the TR properties and set the taget client .

  • ITunes Match: How can I tell if a matched song is from the correct album?

    Since iTunes Match uses my album art and metadata, is there a way to see the album art of the matched item from iTunes?
    I have ripped hundreds of classical music CDs through the years into iTunes, and they all have album art (not from iTunes Match).   Now that I have signed up for iTunes Match, how can I confirm that a matched item from iTunes is from the correct album? 
    I have read that the matching algorithm isn't perfect and can match to the wrong item.   I have recently upgraded the quality of all my ripped music by downloading all the matches from iTunes Match, and replacing my local CD rips (I have backups).
    So, if I ripped Beethoven's 9th by Herbert Von Karajan, is there a way to see the album art of the matched music from iTunes, so that I can confirm it didn't match the item to Beethoven's 9th by Bruno Walter?
    Does the matching algorithm use song length/duration, or is it only using wave form sampling?
    Thanks!
    Paul

    Thanks for the help Jim.
    I'm not having any troubles with artwork changing, but I wish I were, because if the artwork changed then that would allow me to detect if the correct tracks are being matched.  
    I'm worried about waveform matching with classical music because I can have 2 pianists or 2 orchestras that play the same piece so it seems that the waveforms would be very similiar.   I have many CDs of the same pieces of music but by different performers.  For example, both performers play on a piano and both play the same piece of music.  Wouldn't the waveforms be very similar?
    So that's why I'm wondering if there is some way to get the artwork of the piece being matched, so that I can see what album it is coming from.
    Do you think if I deleted my artwork and then matched, that I'd get the artwork injected into my matched music?
    Thanks again for entertaining all my questions.  Really appreciate it.

  • Downloads of updates not saving, no prompts or icons in the Application folder-how do I ensure updates are saved?

    I am following the instructions to download v 6 but receive no prompt to move the Firefox icon to the applications folder. I have done that anyway, but it's not saving-the latest version is July 11. I then get reminders to update all the time-what am I doing wrong?

    A lot of people panic when they see Photoshop displaying differently from other software. But that's normal and expected. Here's what happens:
    1. Photoshop is color managed and performs a document profile > monitor profile conversion when it displays. So whatever the document profile is, Photoshop will display correctly - unless you have CM policies set to "off" (...!)
    2. Other applications, including many web browsers, aren't color managed and will just send the file numbers directly to the display. This distinction is extremely important, because there will be a slight difference. Again, that's normal. Photoshop is right and the other apps are wrong.
    3. Without color management, it all hangs on how your monitor displays color. Most monitors are so close to sRGB that any sRGB file will display roughly correctly. This is why sRGB is the de facto web standard: it can live without color management. And that's why you should always convert web material to sRGB. Yes, that's the Edit > Convert to Profile option. You can also use Save For Web to do this if you check the appropriate boxes.

  • How do i ensure my sampling rate is a constant and correct (@250Hz) when using AI Sample Channel vi

    I am running a VI that samples 2 channels using the AI Sample Channel vi within a for loop (executing equal to the number of samples i require), i then calculate the difference between the channels. Within the for loop i use a chart to displays this difference in realtime.
    On exiting the loop the data is converted to an array, which in turn i then convert to a waveform (using dT as 0.01 as an arbitary solution at the moment). The waveform is then compared to limits using the limit specs and limit testing vi's.
    There is also other code displaying graphs from the previous iterations of the VI.
    My question is how do i control the aquisition rat
    e so that i know that the AI Sample Channel vi is sampling my data at a set rate (250Hz)?
    I have tried to use some of the hardware timed exaples supplied by NI to no avail. They can't give me the single point output required within the initial for loop for the real-time display.
    Any solutions welcome!!

    How about buffered acquisition? You can let your DAQCard acquire the number of samples you require instead of doing it with a FOR loop. Using a FOR loop means that you are software timed, which may as well be untimed since it's about as deterministic as the weather in Florida.
    Look for the "Acquire N Scans.vi" example.
    If you want to do this the RIGHT way, use continuous acquisition. Start your acquisition and keep doing AI Read in a loop. Also include your porcessing and display functions in the loop. Just make sure your loop runs fast enough to keep up with your acquisition. At 250 Hz, you should have no problem.

  • Ensure List/Menu populate my update form with the correct data before update

    Hello,
    Please how do I ensure my update form is populated with the correct data before update?
    On my update page I have text fields and select fields (dynamic list/menu). When I open my profile page to make updates, I see the field well positioned in the text fields but in the select list/menu fields, I see "Select from list" instead of the value that was initiated selected
    Correct Values before update
    Wrong values during update
    As you can see from the images below, when I open the update page, the list automatically populate the select fields with the last values in the list instead of the Initial values that where selected by the user before the update.
    Can anyone please review and let me know where I have gone wrong.
    Thank you
    Mike

    Hello All,
    Once more thank you. I have sorted the issue out.
    I observed that I was selecting the wrong field. I selected the field matching the record set of the select instead of the field matching the record set of the table I am working as seen on the image belew
    I was selecting this - This is the record set of the table that hold values for the city select list
    Instead of this. This is the record set of the table behind the form I am working on
    My issue is now re-solved.

    You can continue to use the current AppleID for iTunes, but your husband can create a new AppleID to use to create a new iCloud account that will be his own and not overlap with yours.  If you do not have another email address to use for an AppleID, just get a free Gmail account and use that.
    You can have as many AppleIDs as you want (or at least, as many as you have email addresses for).  You can use a separate AppleID for the store, another for iCloud, and even another for iMessage if you wish.
    You will want to keep the current one as the shared one for the store as all your previous purchases are permanently tied to it, and thus you need that AppleID to update or redownload your current purchased content.

  • Im syncing my iphone to itunes because i cant unlock the phone due to water damage so that i can take what is on it and put it on a new phone. how can i ensure that everything was taken from the phone and where can i find it in itunes?

    my phone recently suffered water damage so that the screen does not reigster when i slide to unlock. I am sycing the data from the phone onto itunes so i can put it onto a new phone. How can i ensure that i took everything off of the old phone before i restore it and where can i find all of that stuff when i sync with the new phone?

    iTunes will only store a back up of the iPhone and you find this by following the steps below:
    Windows
    Edit>Preferences>Devices
    Mac
    iTunes>Preferences>Devices
    The link below can show you what is stored in an iTunes back up:
