ECR/ECO & Object Mgmt Records

Hello All,
We are planning to implement the ECR/ECO process for the Engineering Change Process. I was trying to go thru the documentation for the same & seems overly complicated.
Can someone help me clarify the difference between ECR/ECO status & Object Mgmt Status & how they compliment each other in the system?? Couple of observations:
1. System allows ECR Check/Checked, Approval etc without an Object assignment, which doesnot make sense to me.
2. Once an ECR is created, there are certain actions that need to happen on the Object Mgmt Rec's before the further statuses can be activated on the ECR's. Where do I, on one single screen, see the status for both the ECR & the Obj Mgmt REc's.
If somebody can put these status things into perspective, it'll help clear the cob webs in my mind. I'm not able to figure out how I could fit this into my business, logically.
Cheers

Ok, I figured this one out. Release Strategies & effectivities are still a big confusion, though !!

ECR/ECO and Document Info Record creation

Hi,
Im trying to find out if its possible to automatically create an document info record and attach the document info record to the ECR/ECO (in background through Accompanying docs) when I create a new ECR/ECO through transaction CC31 or when I save the ECR/ECO.
Do anyone now if this is possible, if yes can you please also answer the User Exit and BADI to use.
Thanks

Hi,
Try following it may be useful for your requirement.
1. EXIT_SAPMC29C_006 -- Include program ZXCCAU06
2.EXIT_SAPMC29C_005 -- Include program ZXCCAU05
Enjoy SAP
Dont forget to give points if its useful ans.

ECR/ECO Workflow not working for multiple Objects

Hello all,
We have implemented ECR/ECO workflow by customizing the SAP standard one. We are facing a problem when entering multiple ECO objects such as mutiple Documents, materials, BOMs etc. When we create the ECR, two parralel workflow start (one for ECM and other for ECO) and depending on how many ECO objects we have included, multiple instances of ECO workflows will trigger (I think this is the standard behaviour as well but not sure)
In our workflow, we have a wait step in ECO workflow that waits until ECM has been converted into ECO (ECOP status) and starts the ECO workflow. Also, we have created a Wait step in ECM workflow and that waits until the ECO workflows have reached the CONFIRMATED Step when the processing of the objects are finished.
When we enter one object, both workflows start and ECO waits until ECM has been converted into ECO and then start the processing the Objects. when the ECO workflow is done (Status confirmated), it switches back to ECM workflow and then goes on with Close/Release steps of the Objects/ECO etc.
But, when we have multiple ECO objects, both start well as ECR converts to ECO and the ECO starts and then work items are processed but then stops just before the CONRIMATED steps even though all objects are changed/maintained properly and ECO workflows are completed. As a result, the control doesn't refer back to ECM and we never get the ECO close and Release step work items.
I have checked SWETYPV, SWEL, business objects ECM and ECO but nothing gives a result..
Any help would be appreciated..
Thanks

Can you please update on what is the status in the workflow log. You can check this from SWIA tcode.
If it is in process step please check for ST22 dump if any.

ECR/ECO Authorization on system statuses - Coding help requested

HI PLM Gurus,
Unfortunately ( or that ,,,Iam not aware of)There is no SAP standard Authorization object to control a user setting a particular system status in ECR/ECO. This means by SAP's standard functionality any user who is authorized with authorization objects ECM_REQ and ECM_ORD in their role and all activities allowed, can set any statuses in ECR /ECO.
But typical business requirment in any change management requires the control status wise and so do we have one.
We knew this can be achieved by a custom authorization object. We have created a manual object but need help with coding to get the current status of the object for matching the authorization (allowed) values .
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
Satya

Thanks Pranav,
Just to clarify ,I knew about the exit and Iam using the same exit, I was trying to get help on the coding part . Identifying Exit is not a problem .( we have used this exit a number of times for different requirements in ECM, like checking the lab/office field for an object before setting a system status , defaulting a new version of document etc)
Update : Got a parameter ( a dynamic field value)which helped us code very easily
,,,,Can share with you .
For system level authorization checks ,one can use Digital signatures and this might be the reason for not having(SAP not providing) a standard authorization object for "system status check "in Standard SAP ECM Authorizations.
Thanks a bunch for the response.

Satya.

Which objects are recorded in a TBOM?

Hello all,
In a dynamic recording of the TBOM for the BPCA, what level of objects is recorded? For example, does it capture every field on the screen? Does it capture a field even if the user recording it does not click onto that field? Does it record fields in tabs that the user did not view?
We are trying to figure out how detailed we have to be in recording these TBOMs to catch the information we want.
Thanks,
Michele

Hi Michele,
Please have in mind that during the dynamic TBOM creation all objects
that are executed/touched during the execution of the transaction are
recorded. You can look at which objects are in the TBOM by cklicking on
the 'Display TBOM content' icon on the TBOM screen in the project.
You can also check whether TBOMS for your project have
been recorded.
You can do this in transaction SOLAR_EVAL by executing the report
'Test -> Business Process Change Analyzer - TBOM Analyzer' for
your project.
The following document explains all necessary steps for BPCA in detail:

Recordset - updating 2 tables with 1 recordset using application object update record

I have a recordset that uses a field from 2 different tables
with a select statement where clause that joins a userid. I can
display the field’s data just fine. Now I want to use the
Application object “update record” so I can modify
either of the fields. The problem is the Application object
“update record” only allows you to update one table.
How does Dreamweaver mx 2004 allow me to update 2 tables with one
recordset and 1 submit button? Currently using php.
Example of where:
Where member.userid = member_detail.userid
I tried creating the one form with the field from the first
table and that works just fine. I added the other field from the
other table into the form but ofcourse there isn’t any code
that will update the second table so it won’t work.
My application requires me to update alot of fields between 2
tables at the same time.
Does anyone know a way using Dreamweaver mx 2004 to do this?
I don’t have much php experience.

Not even CS3 has this built in, you will either have to code
it yourself
or buy the extension you have found. Dreamweaver gives you
basic
features to help you develop applications, but if you want to
do
anything really clever you have to do it yourself.
One thing to consider is maybe creating an SQL view that is
can be
updated. I am pretty sure it exists, then you use the view
instead of
the table in the update behaviour. I have never done it
myself, but I am
sure it can be done.

Could not find Order and Quote objects in Record Type Access window

Hi All,
We are using the CRM OD (not sure about the version).
I am trying to enable the Order or Quote Object in CRM On Demand.
But I cannot find Order and Quote records in "Record Type Access window". Do I need to enable it form any where else first ?
Thanks
Sai

Thanks for the reply Naren.
I am implementing the "Lead to Order Integration Pack for Oracle CRM On Demand and Oracle E-Business Suite 2.5".
As part of it I am trying to enable the Order or Quote objects from the section "Enabling the Order or Quote Object in CRM On Demand" of the document: Part No. E15784-01.
I see the following steps in that section:
To enable the Order or Quote objects in CRM On Demand:
1. Sign in to the CRM On Demand system.
2. On the welcome page, click the Admin link.
3. On the Admin Homepage, navigate to Role Management & Access Profiles, and then Role Management.
4. In the Role Management wizard, perform the following steps:
a. Select the role name for which you want to enable the Quote or Order objects.
b. In Step 2, Record Type Access, select the Can Access, Can Read, and Can Create check boxes for the Order or Quote objects.
c. In Step 5, Tab Access & Order, move the Order or Quote items from the Not Available to the Selected Tab section.
d. Click Finish.
5. Click Admin, User Management and Access Controls, Access Profiles.
6. In the Access Profiles wizard, perform the following steps:
a. Click Edit Link beside the role name for which you want to enable the Quote or Order objects.
b. For Step 2, Specify Access Levels, change the value of the Default Access field for the Order or Quote objects from No Access to Read/Edit for Sales Users. Set to Read/Edit/Delete for the appropriate administrative users.
7. Click Finish.

Service objects in recording SHDB and BDC

Hi Experts,
I have some problem when create recording or BDC. Service object icon is not displayed when i create recording or using BDC to call some transaction.
Is there any idea, so when i create recording or call transaction using BDC, service obect icon can be displayed.
Thank you for your help.
Best Regards,
Subandi Widjaya

[GOS|http://help-abap.zevolving.com/category/generic-object-services-gos/] - Generic Services Objects - wont be available in any Create Transaction like XD01, VA01 etc. The reason is when you are creating a new document/object, the Number is not yet assigned to that Business Object. Thus, you can't see the GOS toolbar even without SHDB.
It won't be a clever idea to try to add create GOS objects as part of the BDC. You should create two step process:
1. BDC to either create / change any document / object
2. Use GOS FMs / methods to create the GOS objects for that documents.

Losing work and freezing up in Captivate 4 when adding any objects or recording slide

I've been using C4 for two months without any big issues until now. I can't record any new screens to my current file without the whole program crashing. In addition, I can't paste in the objects that make the project interactive without crashing.
I've tried deleting all my temp files (the error window referenced temp files)
disconnecting from the network
rebooting a dozen times
closing and reopening the program a dozen times
moving my files off my desktop (the path to the file is short and on my local drive--as the forums suggest) and onto the network, then back again
Nothing has worked.
The project is only 50 slides, so it is not excessively large.
I just tried opening an older file from a previous project and copying and pasting objects within that file. It worked fine.
This tells me the issue is likely with the current project and the way we built it from a previous project file ( we used the previous project as a template for the new one). It must have something in it that is slowing it down and creating errors.
I don't know what to do except to rebuild the whole lesson in a new file. This has put me 3 days behind on a milestone that does not have any wiggle room.
I got three screens edited in 4 hours yesterday.
Can anyone tell me what the fix would be for this? Is the best practice to not use old projects as templates? Is the only fix to copy and paste slides into a new project file?
Thanks in advance for any advice you can give.

One more thing I forgot to mention, the day before this issue arose, I turned off the function to make backup project file. I did turn it back on when I started losing work with all the crashes.

I was asked to create master data info object for this. I created it but when I am loading it , I am getting an error that there are duplicate records.
What should be done? Will such data be still created as master data or an ODS ? Because there are duplicate records.
Thanks

Hi Eugene and Bhanu
I have the same issue. I have this master data flat file, with 2 fields . I am trying to load it . And the data looks like this
0----
1----
001 Work'g Words Spelling
2----
002 Vocab for Achievmt
3----
003 ETS95 Packets Program
4----
004 Every Day Counts
5----
005 Phonics We Use
6----
006 US94 History of US
7----
007 Masterng SAT 1/PSAT
I tried Bhanu's suggestion of ignoring duplicate records . I did not get any error but that I lost some data. So I tried Eugene's suggestion of shifting the fields .. I moved the second field to the frist place and saved and loaded it. I got this error.
"There are duplicates of the data record 2. with the key '3.' for characteristic 1.."
Any suggestions.
Thanks

ADF View Objects and Recording changes for Auditing Purposes

Hello,
I am a new to the JDeveloper paradigm and currently working on a J2EE web pilot project. I was wondering if I could get some some ideas on how I could implement auditing in an application. Basically when a user modifies some entries on the screen, I would like to make a note of what the record was like before commiting to the database. An administrator could then see, what changes the record has been through over a period of time.
I was thinking of using XMLTypes with the database. Does Jdeveloper handle oracle XMLType fields, or would I be looking at something along the lines of a CLOB? At this point, I would rather not implement this functionality using database triggers. Any alternate suggestions would be appreciated.
Regards

Change names from ECR/ECO system status screen (cc01, cc02)

Hi all,
Im working with ECM main screen (CC01, CC02) and the names assigned in the Standard process are not meeting tour needs and some steps are missing in order to cover all the specifications.
If in a easy way I could change the name of the system status steps ( for instance change Convert ECR into Start modifications) will be great and, if this change could be link to a type of ECR would be like a dream because this will meet all the client requirement.
Any comment or suggestion in how to do that? User status are not valid :S
Many thanks in advance
Alberto

Hi alberto,
I think you can't change it from "Convert ECR" to "Start Modifications" but you can use create your own Statuses as required and can be control through Status Profile where in you define this. and in first screen of CC31 or CC01 you need to make this "Profile" Field as Mandatory.
Change type can also be linked to Profile, this way your client requirement will be fulfiled.
Hope this will solve the problem

Effectivity in ECR/ECO

Can some one help me to resolve my query?
We are having ECR system developed for existing system and we have not utilized all the provided features of SAP 4.6C
Now we are going for SAP ECC6.0 where-in we ant to use effectivity parameter for controlling the change process
Can somebody tell me something more on effectivity type like what are famous effectivity parameters and how they can help a business in controlling change process.... n where all it effect after change will take place...?

hi heijo
I may not be able to give fully satisfactory answer but this may help you in solving the problem
SAP gives two parameter effectivity one as DATE and other as SERIAL NO
apart from choosing parameter effectivity for change on material, you have link these changes with release key then assign them priorties and rank
after which system check the changes on material in following manner and decide the valid change
1) change with release key
2) change with higher priority
3) change with higher rank
after this process system assign change to material
When you are doing change wrt SERNO then system checks only release key and then change with higher rank gets implemented
according your other processes get effected
