Is deriving or check Change Request attributes in DERIVE_ENTITY or CHECK_ENTITY

Hi,
I'd have a requirement to derive or check the Change Request attributes like Change Request Reason and Change Request Priority , e.g if CR Priority is empty, set to a specific value or Check if Change Request Reason is set.
I know via an OSS message that we are not able to derive or check CR attributes using BRF+ but can we derive or check using the BADI?

The BRF+ and BAdI solutions are directed more towards the master data entities. If you "only" want to default or check the CR header, then one idea is to enhance the CR Header handler class. Please see this document that describes how to enhance the CR Header. You don't need to add a field, but you can learn the technique of adding checks, etc. to the GenIL model handler class.

Check change request

Hi,
I have to execute workflow after creatiion of change request. I have built workflow but while testing it, workflow is unable to trigger. I checked event related transactions for workflow and it is showing correct data in it. I dont know whether change request is created or not. Can you please help me on this ?

Hi All,
I have to assign role SAP_MDGS to the user who can create the change request.
Go to transaction PFCG, and display the above role which has been assigned to the user.
then Go to Menu tab and execute CreateSupplier from
Role Menu -> Supplier Governance -> Process Supplier.
Now thwe change request will be generated properly and the associated workflow is triggered successfully.
Thanks for all your replies.

Change Request Management in Implementation projects or not?

Hello guys,
We are starting a Change Request Management project at a customer. We discuss in the blueprint phase whether we should be using it only for maintenance activities, and not for implementation projects. We have some people that can be working both in maintenance and also in projects at the same time.
We want to understand whether that scenario is possible and also whether is advisable. We want to have control over the process, and therefore we should be restricting the creation of Transport Orders through SE01 so that we know that transport requests are created only by change document action.
What are the drawback, difficulties, considerations you may consider in making that decision? Is it logic to work that way or is it better just to implement it for the whole installation, including implementation projects?

this you can do either via SE03 / Display/Change Request Attributes / SAP_TMWFLOW Request created using Change Manager X X / Defaul for all client = Mandatory
or
you can achieve this by just activating the CHaRM in SolMan ( solar_project_admin / system landscape / CHARM)

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/Edit Request Attributes in CUP at Approval Stage

Hi All,
We have SAP GRC AE/CUP 5.3 SP07 installed in our environment. In our work flow of the request, there is a requirement that some of the request attributes need to be changed by the role owner/ approver at the approval stage of the request. The request contains both SAP standard as well as some custom attributes. I only see an option to edit the validity date or the roles/profiles of the request at the approval stage. Is this option configurable? If not, do we have any work around to achieve the requirement?
Thanks, Anil

Hi Harleen and Alpesh,
We are in GRC 5.3 SP8 and we would like to allow approvers in each stages to change the validity date (e.g. Valide to date) in a role request.   Here is the situation:
I have a workflow path which has two approval stages.   Both stages were configured to allow "Change Request Content".    What I noticed is the approver in the first approval stage can change the validity date and then approve the request.    But when the request is on the 2nd approval stage, the approver can no longer modify the validity date.
Is this the same scenario which Harleen said that "You cannot edit the information of a request once it enters the approval stages"?   If this is the same scenario, do you know whether a fix is considered by or available from SAP?
There may be situations where we don't want the 2nd approver to overwirte what 1st approver has approved.   However, in some situations we may want to keep that flexibility to let the later approver to have the last say.
Thanks for your input.

Mopz - Requested Attribute Change Package 'TXGLO=====600' not deliverable.

HI ,
I am trying to generate the stack files in Solman using Mopz for upgrade from ERP 6 EHP 5 to EHP 7.
But in step Choose Add-on Products i get below error
Requested Attribute Change Package 'TXGLO=====600' not deliverable.
Message no.BORMMSGDELTACALC164
Any help would be really appreciated.
Thanks.

Hello,
so far, the reply I have received is that it should be possible to implement TXGLO 601 during this Support Package update.
I am not sure I agree with that take, I will discuss whether it is possible to release the ACP in some way. It does not look easy though.

Generate change request with preset of attributes

Hi experts!
We are launching ChaRM in our company.
Before using ChaRM we have handled change requests with a paper-form. Now we think about using Interactive Forms for normal corrections to keep the users look-and-feel like the old paper form, without manual typing the data into the ticket.
My question is: Is there any way to create a change-request in the solution manager from an abap-program?
I found a function module to create a CR-ticket, its called "SOCM_CHANGE_REQU_CREATE".
It works fine, but I'm able to pass only the ticket-type and the short-discription.
The requirement is to pass other data to the ticket, according to data of the pdf-form,
for example texts and business partners (requestor, reason of the change, and so on...)
Is there any programming interface to realize this?
Thank you in advance!

How to change the attribute of screen field to drop down list dynamically

Hi All,
Col X                   Col Y
A                        input field
B                       drop down list
This is a tabular disply where the Screen field attribute for Col y is NO DROP DOWN BOX.
My requirement is to change the attribute of COl Y to DROP DOWN list depending on the value of
COL X dynamically.

Dear Ajay,
Actually this requirement is to enhance the standard screen for Tcode :EHSVU21.
So depending on the 1st Column(Test no) value ,i have to change the 3rd Column(Low.norm.result)
property either to DROP Down or not.
So in the PBO only the changes to be made and there is no field in SCREEN internal table for changing the attribute to DROP down. I checked SCREEN internal table where the field VALUE_HELP and REQUEST is useful but not suitable for my case.
Any solution available?

Apex 4.1 bug? Application language derived from Session changes time zone

I have created an application in Apex 4.1 and in the "Initialization PL/SQL Code" for the session (what used to be called the VPD section) I have the following code:
begin
execute immediate 'alter session set time_zone = ''+01:00''';
end;This works as expected, UNLESS the "Application Language Derived From" (under "Edit Globalization Attributes") is set to "Session", in which case the session's time zone is also affected (and not just the language, as one would expect).
This can be seen in the following simple example, which runs the above code to set the time zone, and has the language derived from "Session":
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=38595
This shows
sessiontimezone = -05:00Even though the session's time_zone has been explicitly set to +01:00 with the ALTER SESSION statement.
Experimentation with the URL shows that if a p_lang parameter is passed, with a valid language identifier, for example:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=38595&p_lang=de
then the time zone is affected (showing -05:00 instead of +01:00).
However, if an INVALID time zone identifier is passed:
http://apex.oracle.com/pls/apex/f?p=38595&p_lang=xx
then the session time zone is CORRECT according to the ALTER SESSION command:
sessiontimezone = +01:00If I change the "Application Language Derived From" to something else than "Session" (for example, "Browser" or "Item Preference"), then the timezone is also correct (ie follows the ALTER SESSION command).
Running the page in debug mode confirms that the time zone is being set after my VPD/initialization code has been run:
0.01585     0.00146     ...Application session: 1671806996734123, user=nobody     4

0.02884     0.00230     NLS: Language=en     4
Conclusion: It seems to me that when the LANGUAGE is set to be derived from the "Session", this also, as a side effect, alters the session TIME ZONE, which must be a bug... ?

Hi Arie,
When you are setting the language to derived from session you actually declare that you are working in a dynamic environment – per session – and not in a static one. Using the Initialization PL/SQL Code is very static as the same code is executed for every database session.I was using a fixed time zone value in the ALTER SESSION to demonstrate the bug/problem... in real life, the actual time zone is derived dynamically based on a user profile stored in the database.
APEX 4.0 introduced the Automatic Time Zone under the Globalization tab. By default it’s set to No but setting it to Yes will allow you to use your local time zone (as derived from your browser) with whatever language derived setting you choose, including per session with the *&p_lang* parameter.The key point is that LANGUAGE has nothing to do with TIME ZONEs, and vice versa. People speak English (and Spanish, and French, and Chinese for that matter) all over the world. You cannot determine a user's time zone based on the chosen language.
You're telling me to enable "Automatic Time Zone" to work around an unwanted side effect from changing the language setting. Sorry, but that just sounds like bad advice to me.
If you want to use session derived language, however the local time zone settings are not good for you, you can still change them with a Before Header and After Submit PL/SQL processes and an appropriate alter session statement, on a per page base. The APEX engine will not ignore a page based session setting.Why should I have to do this for every page when the "VPD" Section (now called "Initialization PL/SQL Code") is made for this purpose?
If you look at the help text in the Apex builder for that section, it actually says that:
The code entered here need not pertain to VPD/FGAC and may not be related to security at all.
Any code that needs to be executed at the earliest point in a page request can be placed here.
For example, the following code sets the database session time zone for every page request:
BEGIN
   EXECUTE IMMEDIATE 'alter session set time_zone = ''Australia/Sydney'' ';
END;So I hope the demonstrated behavior is not intentional, but a bug, and I'm hoping Joel sees it the same way.

Migrating LSMW via change request Problem

We have been migrating any changes in our LSMW objects using the path Extras --> Create Change Request from the transaction code LSMW. This will be from DEV server to QA server. We have been doing this process for the past 5 months.
HOwever, 2 weeks ago, it suddenly didnt work. I compared the program generated by LSMW object between the Dev server and QA server and there are dfferences.
To test if this is not just a code change directly made on the QA server, I specifically run another test. I created a change request, immediately migrated it to QA and check if the code has been updated. The code in QA server was not migrated even though the transport log shows that it was successfully migrated.
Why is this so? We used to do this and it used to work. How come it suddenly stops working? Please help....

Hi CIM,
maybe you are right with your assumption: code was changed in QA.
This might change attribute of this program to 'original' and normal transports no longer change such objects (to prevent unwanted changes in DEV).
But there is a special flag 'overwrite originals' (or something like that), which can be set during transportation.
Try this out.
But maybe it's something else...

Christian

Help me configure Change request management !!!

Dear friends,
I am Going to Configure Change request Management, so just to ensure that the configuration is not erronous, i would need Expert advise..
Just want to know Clear few things before i proceed..
I am also refering SPRO and related notes
Scenario :
I have two SYSTEMS SAP ECC 6.0 with System id R03 and Soluiton manager with SYSTEM id SOL,
R03 has 3 clients, 300 600 700..
In R03 300 is the development client, 600 is quality client, 700 is the production client.
SOL has 2 clients, 100, 200
With 200 as the production client.
Q.1) Do i have to configure CHARM in both the client (100 and 200 of SOLMAN).
Q.2) Initially I had tried to set CHARM in client 100 of solman, but later on realized that it has to be set up in client 200.
When i logon to client 200 and Execute IMG activity Spro-> sap soltion manger->basic settings-> sap solution manager system->activate integration with change request management.
Then by default it take the previous client ( client 100) as the change request management client.
( as we know there are three steps in the above activity ), the other activity are executed properly, only prblem being that the default client is always set to 100, which should not be the case).
I do get the prompt saying ( "The change request clent is set to clent 100, do u want to change to client 200, on clicking yes, still it is always set the same client 100 as charm client ")
Plz let me know what do i do to set the change request client to 200??
Q.3) Regarding TMS, we have local domain controller in solman and local domain in R3.
We are planing to establish domain links between the two systems( ie both the domain controllers) ??
Is this the right strategy ??
Any other method that u can recommend ??
Q.4)One of the IMG activity says, Generate Destinations to client 000 of all the domain controllers..
Whenever i do this these, destinations are created with errors, i am not able to create trusted RFC destinations without errors.
When i logon to satellite domain controler and excecute sm59 there are 2 destinations created Trusted and BACK.
These destinations works well,
but when i logon to Solman, got to sm59 , when i test the TMW and TRUSTED rfc destinations i test these destinations using Remote Logon i get error,
" no authorization to logon as trusted system"
I went thru one note which recomended Kernel upgrades to solve the problem,
I r3 my kernel relaese is 700 with patch level 56, the note recomends to apply patch 80, did u have these problems??
what is your kernel patch levels in sateliite and solman systems.
Q.5) TO be able to raise tickets from R3 to solman we create RFC destinations.
We also create RFC destinations to client 000 of all the sateliite system,
dont u think these RFC destinations might interfere with each other??
Q.6) Is there anyone who has successfully configured CHARM. Can you plz share the configuration documents with me..
Please note :
All the contributors would be handesomely rewarded with points .

Hi,
Check this
Note 128447 - Trusted/Trusting Systems
For your Q4.
Q3.)
Establishing Domain link - That's the right way. Go ahead.
These are the steps.
1.Define Transport Routes for System Landscape
assign exactly one development system to a production system, and that these two systems are connected by exactly one unique transport track. If a development system and a production system are connected by more than one transport track, this may lead to inconsistencies within the transport distribution. This type of transport configuration cannot be supported by Change Request Management, and may cause inconsistencies within the tools involved.
2. Activate Extended Transport Control
The CTC parameter should be '1'
3.Configure Transport Strategy
Deactivate the QA Approval.
4. Activate Trusted Services.
5.Activate Domain Links.
You have to activate domain link between systems.
6. Generate RFC Destinations to Client 000
Hope this helps.
feel free to revert back.

How to import a Change request from One application to another application.

Hi,
In SRM Dev system I have created a Change request (Transport Request) and released to the QA system.The Change request has imported successfully to the SRM QA system.
Now the Case is:
The Released Request in the SRM Dev system has to be Export to the CRM Dev system.
Is it possible to Export the Released Change Request from SRM system to CRM system?
If possible then can you provide me with the solution.
Thanks in Advance
Dharma

Hi,
Your system admin knows how to do it. System admin should define transport route. Please check it in transaction STMS.

Move change request from a maintenance project to another project

Hello all,
we want to close a maintenance project A and create a new maintenance project B. We have a lot of change request they aren`t finish, so we want to move them to the new maintenance project.
The following steps we have done:
1. Doing all phases of the maintenance cycle of project A.
2. Close maintenance cycle project A.
3. Create a new project B.
4. create a new maintenance cycle for project B.
Now, we have the problem, that all change request from project A and maintenance cycle A didn't move to the new project B and cycle B.
If you create a new maintenance cycle in project A, all open change requests move to the new cycle. But we want to move them to a new project and a new cycle.
Have anybody a suggestion how to do this?
Kind Regards
Marc

Hello Marc,
there are a couple of methods in a class that might help you if you DO have to do it... but SAP will not support you in case you have any problem.
you can take a look to methods of class CL_HF_HELPER.
Methods :
SET_BO_LINK_TO_CHNG_DOC is used to set link between SDMJ and SDMN
SET_BO_TASKLIST_OF_CHNG_DOC is used to set link between SDMJ and tasklist
as there are those methods, to create links SAP, provides some others that are supposed to break them (If i remember well they are not activated or finished but you can still have a look !!)
Those methods are
DELETE_BO_LINK_OF_CHNG_DOC
DELETE_BO_TASKLIST_OF_CHNG_DOC
RECREATE_BO_LINK_OF_CHNG_DOC
RECREATE_BO_TLIST_OF_CHNG_DOC
Hope this helps
One more time... be carefull with those methids... I think it s quite dangerous to handle those kind of things without SAP's support.
Also, one mote thing... since many many customers have asked for this functionality; SAP is trying to develop the whole thing (with adjustments of Checks functionalites of ChaRM) for the next releases. Maybe that will be part of the next release

How to change the attribute name for a relation

When the Data Modeler engineers a logical model into a relational model it create table columns for the relations. The names of the generated columns are listed in the attributes list in the properties dialog of the relation. The actual name of the attribute gets calculated by the attribute name of the entity which is part of the relation. This is okay, if there is only one relation between two entities. But when there are two relations between two entities the second attribute gets a stupid number suffix. This makes it impossible to give the attribute a useful semantic meaning.
When I engineer the model into a relational model I can change the column name in the relational model. Changing the column name in the relational model is not perfect but it would be okay for me, if it would not be overwritten during the next engineering run.
So I have two questions:
How can I change the attribute name in the attributes section of the properties dialog of a relation? See here for screen shot:
http://public.ceving.de/2012050300/relationattribute.png
And if it is not possible:
How can I preserve any changes on column names in the relational model during a re-engineering run?
Edited by: 931739 on 03.05.2012 08:07

Hi,
I've logged an Enhancement request on this.
I don't believe it's possible to change it from the Entity or Relationship dialog, as it's not updatable in these dialogs.
What you can do is change it in the Relational Model, and then reverse engineer the change back to the Logical Model.
