Define dependencies between Change Request (Workbench or customizing)

Hi there,
supose I have 2 Workbench request. It is possible to define a dependencie between them?
The idea is to force SAP to transport both in certain order so I can avoid integrity problems.
Thanks.

I doubt if we have anything like this.... rather than having a documentation in the Tr. req and asking the Basis team to have a look at those notes.

Difference between Change request and Service request

HI All,
Can any body tell me the actual difference between Change request and Service Request. Does it have any difference ? Or they are same.

Are you referring to the project Specific Terms ??? If yes, then following are the differences.
Change Request - Suppose user is using a Sales Report which displays Revenue by Customer. Now the user wants to see the same by Product as well which is not available in the current report. So the user raises a Change request and the development team works on it to include the same and make it avaialable for the user.
Service Request - These kind of requests are more likely raised when the user needs access to some system (raise service request to Security team), wants to move a transport to the Production box (raise Service request to Basis Team)..etc.

1.     Defining dependencies between Work order operations and Isolation Operation Steps

Hi All
Will you please let me know how i can define dependencies between Work order operations and
Isolation Operation Steps? Suppoose I want to have WAP--->WCA-->WCD at operation level, is it possible? Can we have the Switching of Status & allowing that perticular operation for releads. e.g. I have operation 1 in Maintenance WO Which needs machine where only operational control panel to be Locked & tagged. No Need to Tag total machine. So once i complete complete the taging for it & once give permits for it, system should permits only that much operation. Not all operation which may have some other permits which needs to be issued.

Custom Change Request Selection for Customer/Supplier Update

Hi experts,
Anyone knows how is possible to display the change request selector popup when starting a Customer/Supplier/BP update?
For MDG-C and S I only have this popup when is related to creation process. When is a update the standard change request is considered for the process.
Screen on creating a customer
What I need is the same screen when starting an update process, because I will need to specify a Z change request type. Anyone knows if this can be made with some configuration?
Kind Regards,
Fabiano Moraes

Hello Fabiano,
You will get this pop-up only if you have more than one CR type linked to the corresponding business activity. If you only have one CR type, then that CR type opens up by default.

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.

Alex

Customizing request & Workbench request

Dear all,
What is the differance between Customizing Request & workbench request?

Hi,
Workbench Requests
When you change a Repository object of the ABAP Workbench, a query window appears in which you need to specify a Workbench request. You can only save the changes if you have assigned the object to a change request.
Workbench requests and the tasks assigned to them are normally used to record changes to Repository objects and Customizing for all clients. However, you can also include client-specific Customizing.
Whether the changes to Repository objects are transported depends on whether a transport route is defined from the current SAP System for the package of these objects. From the system settings, the system automatically determines whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported.
Workbench requests record changes made to ABAP Workbench objects.
There are local and transportable Workbench requests. (Local Workbench requests have the target system <space>.)
The package of the object and the transport route settings in the Transport Management System determine whether changes are recorded in a local or a transportable Workbench request.
Customizing requests
Customizing requests record client-specific Customizing settings made in a single client (the source client of the request).
Automatic recording of configuration activities in the Customizing work for a client can be activated or deactivated for each client with Client Control. If automatic recording is active, a query window appears when you change Customizing settings, asking you to specify a Customizing request.
Whether Customizing requests are transported or not, does not depend on the objects entered, as is the case with Workbench change requests. The Customizing requests in an SAP System (or in a client if you use Extended Transport Control) are either all transportable or all local, depending on the system setting. The system uses the standard transport layer to determine automatically whether the change requests are transportable and to which target system they should be transported. However, you can change this manually.
Changes to Customizing settings are recorded in Customizing requests.
When you release the requests, the current status of the recorded settings is exported, and can then be imported into the consolidation system and, if necessary, into subsequent delivery systems.
The client settings determine whether
o changes to the Customizing settings are possible
o the changes are recorded
When you create Customizing requests, the transport target is automatically assigned the standard transport layer by the R/3 System.

Unable to check in for change request

Hi,
We have enabled checkin checkout functionality for ChaRM in solman_directory,
Once we create change request for a business process from solman_directory,e we checkout structure object for that change request into assigned maintenance project., before authorizing change request.
Once change request is completed ,we want to check in the structure object, but not getting the option under Change Request->Transaction Type=>Customer fields->Solution->right click on assigned business process.
Also tried by changing the phases of maintence cycle but no use, all requests are remained pending in check out,
Please suggest.
Thanks
Sonal

Dear Anzar,
What is the error message you are getting. check the CMS logs for the more information.
Please check n verify location of the inbox folder when you click on checkin tab.

Change Request Vs Change Order

Hi,
What is the difference between change request and change orders. When to use Change request and when to use Change order. Both allow impacts on work & financial plans
Thanks
Govind

Change requests are initiated to estimate possible changes to a project. Once approved, a change request can be converted into a change order.
Both can have independent approval work flow.
Also, you can combine multiple change requests into one change order.
For more details, see http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E18727_01/doc.121/e13623/T185673T185681.htm
Hope this helps,

Hello ,
Changes to Customizing settings are recorded in Customizing requests.When you release the requests, the current status of the recorded settings is exported, and can then be imported into the consolidation system and, if necessary, into subsequent delivery systems.
The client settings determine whetherchanges to the Customizing settings are possible the changes are recorded

Workbench and customized request

What is the difference between workbench request and customized request

Hi,
Changes to cross-client Customizing objects and to Repository objects are recorded in Workbench requests
In workbench request .... it can be programs (repository objects) and cross client data (ie not specific to one client).
Changes to client-specific Customizing objects are recorded in Customizing requests.
Customer customized data designed for a specific client is transported to another client using customizing request. Most of the cases these requests are something like changing values in tables (that too client specific).
More precisely
===========
Customizing request
Customizing requests contain changes to client-dependent tables.
Workbench request
Workbench requests contain changes to client-independent tables.

What is the difference between task and change request?

Hi all
What is the difference between task and change request?
thanks all

Dear Ispit,
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw2004s/helpdata/en/19/3f5bf8a4b011d285090000e8a57770/content.htm">Request Types and Task Types</a>
<a href="http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm32/helpdata/en/dd/cc86a571464559a2685a404397065b/content.htm">Change Transactions in Change Request Management</a>
For more information about the SAP Change and Transport System (CTS), visit the following link:
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/57/38ddff4eb711d182bf0000e829fbfe/frameset.htm
Transport Request is generated in following scenarios:
1. Customizing Request - When doing or changing some customization.
2. WorkBench Request - When configuration is cross-client. Eg Generating new Table, making changes in access sequence, Abap development, etc.
Transport request is not generated for Master Data. For eg: Customer Master, Material Master, price master, etc.
Benefit of Transport Request:
SAP Landscape normally has 3- Tier system:
Development Server - Where customization takes place. Transport request is generated at this level & then first transported to Quality server for testing whether it meets the requirement or not. Once the requirement is met in Quality server then Request is transported from Development Server to Production Server (Actual / Live System)
Quality Server - Mainly useful for testing.
Production Server Actual / Live server, where the real transactions are created & posted.
Procedure to Release & Transport Request:
1. In development server, go to T.Code: SE10 & select the check box Modifiable & enter
2. In the next screen, you will see list of transport request created.
Note: Transport request consist of main request along with sub request. These sub request hold the object to be transported.
3. Expand the main request & you will be able to view the sub requests attached to main request.
4. First release the sub requests.
Note: To release the request, select the request ni & click on release request individually (Do not select release all request)
5. Next release main request.
6. Once the request is released sucessfully, imform the basis person to import the request to QA server.
or
If the authority is with you, through T.Code: STMS, select development server --> select request no & release to QA server. Here when it pops up client no, user id & password, maintain it of QA server & release the request to QA server.
Reward points if this is helpful.

ChaRM Scenario: Workbench and Customizing CR in the same Change Document

We use the ChaRM scenario of Solution Manager 3.2 to manage the transport request for the R/3 landscape.
We have two different project with two different landscape:
- the first one is used for customizing purpose ED1/010 - EQ1/010 - EP1/010
- the second one is for workbench purpose ED1/011 - EQ1/010 - EP1/010
We usually assign a Change Request each Change Document.
Assigning the Change Document to a maintenance cycle (owned by a SolMan Project) to assigne the CD/CR to the right source client.
Sometime we need to create a Change Document that contains two CR one for customizing purpose the other one for workbench purpose.
Is this possible using ChaRM standard features ?
Regards,
Giampaolo

Hi Martin,
Solmaniacs' assumptions are correct. You can have as many source clients as you want.
As long as
- STMS configuration (transport routes, and domain links) are consistent
- SMSY configuration (logical components are declared properly with assigning the right role types to systems/clients)
- Project declaration are done correctly (so that from Solman solar_project_admin you can read the STMS as confiured in the distant STMS domain)
- IMPORTANT: those configuration GO ALONG with each other !! (SMSY should nt contradict STMS for example...)
The tasklist that is generated for each Solman project will be as follow
- Node 1: Header Tasks (commun to all systems)
- Node x: Corresponding to track x declared in Project (each Source System will have his own node with the corresponding track under)
- Node x+1
- Node ...
- Last Node : Tasks for Tasklist closure - checks on scma consistancy and CTS projects closure
So you'll always have n+2 nodes in your tasklist; n beeing the number of declared source (=dev) systems in project
For each action launched from change docuemnts like creation of TR, release of TR or Retrofit (as Solmaniac said) you'll have an additional pop-up that will appears letting you choose the system you want to use for the action
Hope its helpful
