How to track changes in an ABAP program

Hi,
I have a program being changed by 3 people one after another !! I want to know what were the changes made by each of the them !! Just like tracking the changes in a CVS !!
How to do that in ABAP workbench ??
thanks

Are they making the changes under a same CR? If so there is actually no way to track the changes made by individual user, unless they put some comments. In such a case, the other option is to have individual users generate a version after completing their changes (but ensuring that no other user makes a change at the same time by using editor lock and releasing the editor lock after generating a version).. Once the version is generated, u can use change management
If the changes are made under different CR, then you can use version management as suggested by Rich.

How to track changes to fields in a Module Pool Program

Hi Experts,
I have one requirement to track the changes to some fields used in the Program, The fields for tracking the changes will be maintained in a table T1, this will be changed dynamically.
There are many screens in the program and many fields in each screen.
1. How to do the coding for tracking the changes, the code should track all the changes to the fields maintained in the table T1.
Thanks in Advance.
Baburaj

Hi Baburaj,
The table logging concept will helpful for this requirement.(Tcode: scu3 --> give table name --> u can find changes for all fields).
Make use of concept change documents (auditing purpose used) --> CDHDR,CDPOS tables.
If you want to track changes to your own program, You need write some API to store the data.

How to make a transport of ABAP Program to a QA environment

Hi forum and sorry for my easy question, but i am a newby in ABAP
How can i a transport an ABAP program to QA environment?... is the same machine only changes the mandant.
Thnks
Josue Cruz

You need have transport request for ABAP program.
Transport Request are two types :
1.customizing
2 work bench
customizing - it is related to SPRO Transaction and Functional people will create Customizing request
Work Bench Request - normally irt realeted to ABAP Develper. and all about SE38 Programs ,Data dictinary and so on..
If you want to to release transport request ,then you need to use SE10 or SE09 Transaction.
Goto SE10 and see ur transport request -.it will have sub request #
Select Sub request #->overall check -Syntax check
then Activate check
then click on release dirctly button(Looks like Bus)
activate
now select main request and click on release directly button.
check the status - by using transport logs at SE10 transaction,you need to have sy-subrc eq 0
when you get sy-subrc eq 4 then you deleted something in ur program ,sy-subrc eq 8,sy-subrc eq 12 these all status of ur transport request.
once you done then you need import to Tst Box,use STMS Transaction.

How to track changes on Infoprovider?

Hi Gurus,
Could you please provide the steps of how to track changes on Infoprovider? I had 4 Infocubes (belonging to the same info area) that contains compressed data - but now when I tried to display the data, all the cube are empty - no data were aechived.
I would like to track any actions that were made on those cubes.
Thanks

thanks Kumar for helping me out here
I tried RSD_CUBE_LOG_DELE function module - It came out "no logs found in the database"
I tried tables RSDRDLOGHEADER and RSDDSTATDELE which provide me deletion informations like user name... but since we have partially archived those specific infoproviders in the same period of time where I think eveything was gone from cube, I am not able to related when and who the data that were not archived were deleted from Infocube
Under manage Infocube --> archiving tab, all the created archiving request are only for certain dates (below 2006). I know that we had data above 2006.
Kindly provide additional inputs.
Thanks

How to track changes in a hyperion application for SOX control?

Hello all,
We have been working on identifying the best way on how to track changes in a hyperion application in regards to the SOX control.
The following areas have been identified as the main areas of an application where the changes are to be tracked:
Monthly data load from ODI
Calculation of data
Metadats change
Formula edit
Changes to reports
Changes to security
Can anybody please suggest the best ways to do this? Has anyone experienced this issue before?
Somebody suggested that there is hyperion auditing available.
Is there any other software that is available that can do this or just documenting the changes would be the best option?
Please suggest. Toyr response would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Shared Services allows the auditing of provisioning and life-cycle management activities to track changes to security objects and the artifacts that are exported or imported using Lifecycle Management Utility.
For Shared Services auditing, refer Page 129 of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/epm_security.pdf
Planning Administrators can select aspects of the application for change tracking. For example, you can track changes to metadata, such as when users change a member property or add a currency. You can also track changes in data forms, business rules, workflow, users, access permissions, and so on.
For Planning auditing, refer Page 56 of http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E12825_01/epm.111/hp_admin.pdf

How to track changes

Hi friends,
I am a XI consultant. My query is regarding how to track the chages.I heard that CDHDR and CDPOS tables are used to store the information regarding the changes made to the objects/tables in SAP.My scenario is i have a table having few fields related to P.o and a flag indiacating Insert/Update/Delete, so upon the creation/upadate/deletion of a P.O(related to perticular WBS Element) i want the data to be transfered into my table automatically.
Is there any standard transaction available to do that....means i want to track all the P.Os under a perticular WBS element..
If not Do we have to write a Abap program and use CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS,CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS functions to store the data into internal tables ?????
Regards,
Gowtham K.

HI gowtham,
Yes, u are right,
we have to right some abap code.
"CHANGE DOCUMENTS" in SAP Terminology
1 The same thing which u are asking
we had developed here. For Eg : Any change
in the material master will be detected
and a mail will be sent to the concerned
employee.
THIS WILL ALSO DETECT WHICH FILEDS HAVE CHANGED.
IT CAN ALSO GIVE, The Old Value, And The New Value.
2. This Mechanism is called CHANGE DOCUMENTS in
SAP Terminology
3. 2 Fuction Modules are Required.
(They will fetch necessary data from CDHDR,CDPOS)
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS
CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS
4. The First FM gives list of all
records ( with change no) which have changed.
5. Loop at the above and the second FM will
provide the details (old-val, new-val) for
each record.
6. While using 1st Fm, i used docclass as 'MATERIAL'.
BCOS
the concept of change documents is applicable
to other type of documents also (depends upon
customization)

How to track changes in a custom table

HI all,
Requirement is
1. In custom table instead of using table maintence generator ALV gird has to be display to see table entries. But where i have to write the code when user press CONTENTS button?
2. In alv gird there shuld be one button which shows the change history of selected record and modify the content of selected record. For track changes i have registered custom table name in SCDO. so that changes made will reflect in CDPOS/CDHDR.
but how can i track changes thru dis table? i didnt find field contents of custom table in CDPOS/CDHDR tables?
Please help me with these Ques.

Hello,
SAP has provided many changes tracking related programs for Sales order, Vendor changes etc.
They all use the standard function Module
call function 'CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_HEADERS'
call function 'CHANGEDOCUMENT_READ_POSITIONS'
so with these you can get the changed records
Let me know if this helps you
Thanks and Regards
