Copy Function Group to New Name: Transport Question

When I did this I only see in the transport Function Group with the Function Group Name under it. I would have expected to see all of the objects but I guess not?
I suppose everything will go under thge Function Group name? ie. Includes, Function Modules, etc.?
            Thank-You.

When I see a thread title like this, the first question I think is "Why copy the function group".
Copying a complete function group leaves your system very open to future data corruption and other problems as patches etc change the code in the original group but do not get reflected in your copy.  A repair or enhancement to the original object has the advantage that SPAU will highlight any new versions from SAP allowing you to confirm that your change is still needed. 
Another option is to create a custom function that calls the standard code with customer specific pre and post processing.  If both the standard and custom function are needed, then including logic based on transaction code, calling report, etc can handle this.
It is interesting to work on the upgrade of a system where there has been significant copying of SAP code - you compare the "Z" version with the original SAP code in the pre-upgrade system and nearly always find differences due to OSS notes etc that were applied without thinking of the customer copy.

  • Copied Function Group to New Function Group Name

    After I did this why do some objects have blue text and some have black text in SE80 under the new function group name??
                   Thanks.

    HI,
    This exists to show you an inactive object on the Function Group.
    Try to activate the all objects in Function Group and the color will be changed.

  • Error - Copying Function Group STXW

    Friends,
    I am trying to copy Function Group STXW into Z_STXW with one function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF.
    But I am not able to activate the main program SAPLZ_STXW. I get an error 'Field OTF is unknown'. But OTF is an internal table already defined in the function module CONVERT_ABAPSPOOLJOB_2_PDF (I have activated this FM). I also have activated all other includes.
    Please resolve. Thanks in advance.
    Warm Regards
    Sagar

    <u>Scenario 1(when you copied only 1 function module).</u>
    If you are able to successfully activate, then the problem may be with navigation index not being regenerated correctly. To do that, go to your function module display in SE37. Once inside the source code, in the menu, 'Utilities--> update navigation index' will do the trick.
    <u>Scenario 2(where you copied all the function modules)</u>
    Here the error is coming because the function module in question has its parameters declared as global. Probably when you copied yours are not. You can check that in attributes tab of the function module. To globalize your function module's parameters, you have to be in change mode. In the menu, 'Edit>Interface> Globalize parameter' will do the trick.

  • Copying function group

    Hi
    I am copying function group CORU (CO13 Transaction),
    but i am not been able to make a change in includes because they are not having a prefix "z",
    How to copy that includes  along with Function groups in my program with 'Z' prefix so that i can make the changes,
    I have to make customize transaction zco13 having some changes compare to SAP transaction ZCo13

    Vinod,
    When you are copying function group to ZCORU you need to also copy all FM's to ZFM's then the includes will also be copied.

  • Reg copying function group

    Hi All,
    I want to copy the function group COISSELECT to ZCOISSELECT.I have done from SE80 transaction but the problem is I want to change some includes in this function group when I am copy it has been asked target function module names but it has not been asked the target include programs so I am not able to modify the includes in this function group.
    Please some body suggest some idea how to do this?
    Mahesh

    Copy the includes separately in SE38.
    Replace with the new include name in your FG where it is declared.
    For eg:
    INCLUDE ABC. "declaration in FG
    This needs to be replaced with INCLUDE ZABC.
    Automatically the FMs in the FG will start referring to the code in the new include.

  • When is the entire function group added to the transport request

    When you modify a functionmodule in a function group, only the object of the functionmodule( LIMU FUNC) is added to the transport request.
    When you modify an include of the function group, the reportsource of that include (LIMU REPS) is added to the transport request.
    But under some circumstances the entire function group is added to the transport request (R3TR FUGR).
    Can somebody clarify under what circumstances the entire Function Group is added to the transport request?

    I was actually looking for the reason why I would find R3TR FUGR objects in requests for existing function groups.
    What I found out is that R3TR FUGR is added to the request when :
    - the function group is created
    - a function is renamed
    - the function group is deleted
    - you choose : Write Transport Entry, in the context menu of the Function group.
    The <b>actual problem </b> was that in our upgraded system (<b>ERP2005</b>) we had a transport containing the function group (R3TR FUGR) and <b>we thought</b> none of these actions had been taken.  After talking to the developer in question, I found out he did rename a function module, so I have my solution.
    But thanks everybody for the insight.

  • Option to mass migrate function modules in a function group to new SAP box

    Hi All,
              We have a requirement wherein we have to move all the existing function modules to a new SAP box.
    I heard that there is an option to download all function modules in a function group to text files and upload them to a new system at once without much progamming.
    Please let me know if anyone knows how to do this.
    Thank you,
    Vasu

    Hi Vasu,
    why don't you just use CTS?
    Create a transport that contains the objects you want to move. Then. assuming the target system is not in the same CTS landscape, move the files to the transport directory of the target system. Then in STSM goto the Import Queue and select Extras->Other Requests-Add to add your transport to the queue. Then import it as normal.
    Cheers

  • Copying text to a new composed msg question

    On my desktop in mail I have a drafts folder where I keep certain mails I need to copy text from to add to composed emails I intend to send. I want to do the same on my Iphone, is it easier to store the text on a different app besides mail (which one?) or do I send myself a draftthat contains the text and save the mail? (how do I save a mail as a draft?)
    anyone?
    Rdemtl

    There isn't a draft option really on the iPhone. However, the built in Notes app if you make your draft there, the note has the option to Email on it thus start a new email when needed with the text from the note.

  • Copying function module (FM) with funtions

    Hi all,
    I'm trying to copy one function module (FM) called Z1  to another called Z2. Z1 contains lot of functions stored within its includes. After copy functions are referenced to original's includes of Z1. I need them to be copied as well to new includes. Would I try to copy it to diffrent function group or to copy whole group under new name?
    Thanks
    Martin

    Hello Martin,
    I must agree with Ramesh. Copying Function Modules can be a very messy job. In my experience, in case of complicated function modules, it's better to copy the function group and then delete the stuff that's not required.

  • Copying of function group

    Hi all,
    Please help me in this issue.
    when i copy function group , i am ablw to copy the function modules but i am not able to copy the Inlcudes in the function group
    can anyone please explain how can i copy the includes also
    Thnaks in Advance
    K reddy

    Hi k reddy,
    it may depend on the release you use. I remember it was not that easy in the past as already described.
    Note that copying functions as well as includes you always need new names for copied objects.
    Now, if it is not too much work: Go to main program, see the INLUDE statements for the 'old' function groups includes. Change to new names and copy the includes manually to new name.
    Next time it may work.
    Or delete new function gropu and start all over again.
    Note: If any inluce includes other include statements: Those inludes you must copy and rename manually (if changes are required).

  • Transporting a Function Group

    Hi All,
    I created a new function group and few function modules within it. Function group is attached to one transport request. But for some reasons I want  to transport it with some different transport request. So I deleted it from original request.
    But now when I am trying to activate the Function Group, It is not attaching the associated function modules and includes within the function group to new transport request. It is only attaching Function group Text and Main program to transport.
    Please let me know the way by which I can attach complete function group its related function modules and includes to one transport.
    Thanks,

    Hi Rich,
    It is not attaching the Function group, it is attaching only "Function Group Text".

  • Regarding Transport Of the Function group

    Hello Guru,

    Check your transport, it should contain an entry for
    R3TR - DEVC - 'your package name'
    This should tranport the whole package including all the objects,
