Normal Correction flow & Transport of copies

Hi,
I am performing following steps for Normal Correction. But when I first time schedule the imoprt job, nothing is moved to Quality system.
u2022     Action u2018Set to In developmentu2019. Status changes to u2018In Developmentu2019.
u2022     Perform action u2018Create Transport Requestu2019. Transport Request (ID6K900342) created.
u2022     Change the Maintenance Cycle phase to u2018Development with Releaseu2019
u2022     Developer completes the work & releases the Task in satellite system
u2022     Action: u2018Test Transportu2019. Creates Transport of copies (ID6K900344)
u2022     Schedule the import job. ( But after executing also nothing will be moved to Quality)
u2022     Action: u2018Complete Developmentu2019. System creates another new Transport of copies (ID6K900347) for Original Request.
u2022     Schedule the Import job. ( But after executing also nothing will be moved to Quality)
What could be the reason. both the TP copies are in queue only, nothing is moved to quality.

Hi PK,
Let me try to explain:
NC => 80000001
1. Create TR
XXXK0001 (Original TR)
2. "Test Transport" or "Complete Development"
XXXK0001 (Original TR) -> still not released
XXXK0002 (ToC- copy of XXXK0001)-> is created in DEV
3. Import TRs to QAS (from task list)
XXXK0001 (Original TR) -> still not released
XXXK0002 (ToC) -> is moved to QAS
4. Now the changes are in QAS, but is not placed in the PRD import queue. So, you can test it with no risk.
5. If you have problem, go back to 'In development'
Correct the problem in XXXK0001
and go to step 2 again.
6. If the changes are OK in QAS
- Select 'successful tested'
XXXK0001 (Original TR) -> is released
7. Import to QAS
XXXK0001 imported in QAS and automatically placed in PRD import queue.
8. Import to PRD
The ToC is used to avoid import an inconsistent TR into PRD system, because once it has been imported in QAS, the same will be available to import into PRD, without any test.

Process Flow for Normal Correction

Hi All
I am searching for a process flow for a normal correction. In specific I need to know who does what in terms of crating transports and releasing transports. I need to have a guide on the entire process as well as the status that the relevent parties change it to. For more info please let me know.

ChaRM: Transport of Copies

Hi Team,
I have configured ChaRM for normal correction (SDMJ). The standard SDMJ process is, when i execute the action "Complete Development", it sets the status of the normal correction as "To be Tested" as well the transport of copies also will be created. But in my case, the status of the normal correction is set to "To be Tested" but the "transport of copies" is not getting created parallelly. If i go to task list and execute the task "Create transport of copies", the "transport of copies" is getting created.
How to automate this task in the task list, so that when ever, i execute the action "Complete development", it set the status of the normal correction as "To be Tested" as well the "Transport of copies" also getting created in background?
Your guidance will be very much appreciated.
Thanks
Kumar

Dear Kumar
I think it's related to how the transport request was made, if it was made in se01 for example and not by ChaRM I think you don't have the automatic creation of transport of copies. Is that the case that your transport request was created outside ChaRM ?
Please check following SAP notes:
Note 1150426 - Registering transport requests in ChaRM
Note 1134993 - Checking transport requests outside ChaRM
Kind regards

Java Transport of Copies

Hello Experts,
Is it possible to send Transport of Copies for Java transports since they technically don't have their changes assigned to the tasks below the transport but instead at the transport level?
How can you send Transport of Copies for Java transports within Charm?
Thanks
Mike

Hello there,
As far as I know, CTS+ does not support transport of copies for Java objects. ChaRM operates assuming such a limitation of transport of copies for Java systems.
Just as an example: iIn the early days of integration of CTS+ with ChaRM, the normal correction document for Java systems had to be the SDMI, because the SDMI does not include any actions about transports of copies. Now the transport of copies actions are not triggered for Java systems in standard SDMJs.
Hope this helps.
Best regards,
Miguel Ariñ

Creation of New consistencycheck condition for Normal Correction

Hi,
We are using ChaRM normal correction to check the transport imported to production system we are using the check conditon 'PRODUCTION_IMPORT_OK' which is implemented in Class CL_SOCM_INSTANCE .
On similar base we wanted to create the condition of 'ZTEST_IMPORT_OK' for normal correction, but we are not able to find the Standard code written for condition PRODUCTION_IMPORT_OK.
If find this code we can make some adjustment in this code with BADI for consistency check to implement the new condition .
Is any one worked on this type of condition , your help will be appreciated.
Regards,
Amar Kamat

HI
Check if needed to assign any account key to this new condition type in your procedure if needed, then mantain the GL acc for the same.
If you are adding this condition type in your TAXINN procedure (assuming so) you need to create the condition type for the same by using trax FV11.
If you are adding your condition type in Pricing procedure then no ned to create the condition record.

Import Error in Normal correction of CHARM

Hi All,
In Normal Correction, when i try to import to Quality system, by executing the import transport request in the Task plan.
Iam facing some error in the TMS RFC.
Pls find below the error description.
TMS communication error with TMSSUP RFC
Message no. XT153
Diagnosis
There was an error during communication with the RFC destination
TMSSUP @ XXX.DOMAIN_XXX
System Response
The exact error message of the system is:
Name or password is incorrect (repeat logon)
Procedure
The function terminates.
Procedure for System Administration
Check your TMS configuration with the transaction STMS.
When I check the Import alert monitor i donot find any entries

Hi Venkat,
TMSSUP RFC and TMSADM are auto generated from STMS, mostly distribution did not happen correctly or completely.
if you need TMSADM as modifiable, use addition in TMSCROUTE Table on Oracle level.
but first double check all three RFCs in SMSY for the system, then re-distribute the TMS config.
Also pls check the CONTROLLER RFC , for user and passwrd before distributing.

Kaustubh.

How to import transport of copies to productive systems

Hello,
I have been experiencing a problem that even the guys from admin could not solve (yet). I should say I work in a development team.
Imagine you have two landscapes, one DEV-QAS(1) to develop big projects and a normal DEV-QAS-PRD(2) landscape where my objects will be imported. After a new group of objects is finished in (1), we ask to import the workbench request in the STMS queue of DEV(2). After this, and after some small test, we create a transport of copies in DEV(2) where we include the first transport, release it and import it to the QAS(2) queue. After the tests in QAS(2) the idea would be to import the transport of copies to productive system PRD(2). But it does not work...
In STMS queue for PRD(2), there is no entry for the transport of copies. Also, when I tried to add the transport request to the import queue (via menu -> Extras -> Other requests -> Add), I get an error message stating that no co-files where found for the transport.
Does anyone know this problem? I suspect it can have sothing to do with the use of a transport of copies, but, if I don't use this kind of transport, how can I get objects from other systems to production?
Thanks in advance.
Davide Sepanas, Portugal

Davide,
Re your latest questions:
> 1) Why this problem with transport of copies doesn't happen from DEV(2) to QAS(2), since these systems are also not in the same transport directory?
>
I think the answer is in your original problem description:
we create a transport of copies in DEV(2) where we include the first transport
>
When you create a transport of copies you must indicate a terget system and I suppose you enter QAS(2) there. In that case the TMS will add the request to the import buffer of the target system when you export the request from DEV(2). I understand that you never have to add transports of copies to the import buffer of QAS(2) manually, which proves the TMS does this for you. However, for further imports into systems that are not designated as target system of the transport of copies, like PRD(2), the TMS will do nothing of the sort and you must add the request to the queue yourself - which in your case also means you have to forward the transport files first.
> Can we assume, then, that, where I was working before, all three systems were configured in the same transport directory, avoiding thus the problem with the transport of copies requests?
Yes, and that is the most common way of setting up the transport system. Having separate transport systems really only makes sense when sharing the transport directory between the dev, qas and prd systems (via NFS for UNIX, via network shares for Windows) is not possible, either because there is no local network between the servers or because some security policy forbids it. I'd advise you to certainly ask the question to your system admin.

Transport of Copies for Modif. Adjust. Transports during patch application

Hi Experts,
I've got two transport requests(Modification Adjustment Transports) in the DEV system containing SPAU and SPDD corrections for patch APPL-19, I need to include these Modification Adjustment transports when I start applying patch APPL-19 in my QTY system, wherein it prompts me to include Modification Adjustment Transports if any.
I've been told to release these requests in the DEV system encorporate both these requests into once and create a single request of the type Transport of Copies, and supply the Transport Request No. of this Transport of Copies request when it prompts me for Modification Adjustment Transports in the QTY system during patch APPL-19 application.
Please help me out with the procedure to create Transport of Copies for my case, also if you could post some theory on "Transport of Copies", it would be highly helpful.
Thanks Alot in advance.

Hi,
Check the thread for transport of copies creation.

Normal Correction/Development Activity

i am creating Development(Implementation) type change request, , after setting the status of the Change Request In Development and created the transport request. after creating TR its status automatically resets to "CREATED" again and again each time i create transport request??
Plus if we have imported a TR once in QAS and reset the status to "In DEvelopment" and created new transport request , by again "Import Transport Request (Background) it will transport the new TR only??
For normal correction/Development Activity we ahve to import transport request manually from task list???
Thanks

Unable to chage the status of normal correction to confirm successful test

Hello,
I am unable to chage the status of normal correction to confirm successful test in solman. Its shows error:
Not all test transports are imported .
I have imported the test trasnport in to test system successfully but still i am getting this error . I have also checked blogs in SDN but non of them refers to any solutions. But I can see lot of people have faced this issue.
My configuration is fine and no error in application log.
Can any body help me to find the resolution for this problem? answers will be rewarded.
Regards,
Bhavesh

Hello Mark,
Thanks for the update. But non of the above option can resolve m issue because :
1) Note 1352886: is not relavent as I laready have the higher patch level of solution manager for ST comonant( SAPKITL431).
2) I have already gone through this blog this blog talks about the status of maintenance cycle but in my case the maintenance cycle status is fine (in developemnt without release) . So as per process till now i am on the correct status.
I appreciate your updaes but still I am not able to change the status to consolidate. because of error Not all test transports have been imported.
Please let me know if you have any other solutions for this error.

Job to Import Transport of Copies

Hi, we are implementing CHARM. In case of regular correction, when i say TEST Transport, it creates copy of that transport and release so that copy is in Buffer of quality system. But i want to automate that process. My question is , is it possible to schedule any job which imports only Transport of Copies (i.e. any request of type T).
Please help.
Thanks

Hello Powai,

Normal Correction document is reset to Created by itself

Dear everyone:
We have configured ChaRM - Solution Manager 4.0 (SP9). The ChaRM works fine on Urgent Correction, but not for Normal Correction. The Status of (Normal) Correction document always reset back to Created. It does not want to stay as 'In development' status.
Here is the step I took to create new change document with a Subject : Normal Correction(maintenance).
I authorized the change document, then I choose Maintenance Cycle (Normal/Periodic Maintenance).
Next document / correction document -> 8000000196, Status: Created. I choose set in Development. - Status of correction document is: In Development
Next step, I choose Create Transport Request - transport request generated for document. Then all the sudden the status of correction Document is back to Created.
And I can not go to any where else....
Would anyone please help me out?
Thank you.
Kind regards,
Rudy

Hi Steven:
There are some actions are the detail -
Action 1: (yellow light) During Creation
detail: (green) check successful
Action 2: (yellow light) Check Consistency:
detail: (green) Check successful
Action 3: (red light) for Copy a Solution Manager Context:
detail: (green) date/time stamp
(green) Processing SOCM_COPY_CONTEXT is started.
(red) Action could not be successfully executed (no processing parameter)
The other one has yellow status, and the processing parameter shown as
--> No container is available, for application name CRM_ORDER, Action profile SDMI_Action
Action 4: (green) set to 'In Development' :
(green) Processing HF_SET_STATUS Is Started
(green) Action successfully completed
Action 5: (green) Create Transport Request:
(green) Processing HF_Execute_Action Is Started
(green) Request ID and Number created
(green) Action successfully completed
As soon as triggered Create transport, then the Document status back to 'Created', and I only have two choices in the action button ... set in Development or Cancel Procedure.
What would cause this issue ?
Thank you in advance.
Kind regards,
Rudy

Confirm Successful Test in Normal Correction (SDMJ)

Hello,
In normal correction (SDMJ) workflow, the action Confirm Successful Test is selected in the Development with Release phase of a project/maintenance cycle. The status of the Change document changes to Consolidated after that, and you then be able to move the cycle to Test phase.
How can we customise the standard workflow so that Confirm Successful Test is selected in the Test phase? This seems to make better sense.
I'd appreciate any help from any one of you who have done some customising to the SDMJ standard workflow. Many thanks in advance for your help.
BR Li

Hi Li,
I had the same dscussion with my customers more than once, it is hard to understand to perform the action "Confirm Successful Test" before Test phase.
You could add another status to SDMJ (or a copy of SDMJ, for instance ZDMJ) before Consolidated.
But we selected another option, by using test messages during test phase and therefore following SAP standard process. So, a developer confirms successful integration/unit testing after he finished his development/customizing activities in dev by changing the status to consolidated.
If some issues are detected in Test phase, we are using test messages to correct it. But you are right, at the end of test phase there is no additional status which says: all is fine, go ahead and move it to production. Only be checking that all Test messages are finished, the Production transport approver can be sure, all issues have been resolved.
But by adding another status, please consider this: You have to create a copy of SDMJ (ZDMJ). After this, all enhancements and changes to SDMJ delivered by SAP, you have to do manually for your new transaction type ZDMJ, otherwise you will not get the functionality. That's why I'd recommend to use SDMJ as delivered by SAP and also use Test messages during test phase.

Charms : Background job not scheduled (normal correction) ?

Hi,
I am trying to run a dry cycle for normal correction but when i go to task plan in any ticket to release a request. When i schedule this job " release a request" , i dont see any job running in background in SM37. I think job is not gettin sceduled properly.
Please help me out

Hi,
All right. We need to dig this one
I guess you schedule the import by going the the tasklist
and you get a red flag for this activity in the calendar ? do you have any error message ?
If the messagein the task-list is not self-explanatory you can check the SLG1 log in SOLMAN. Which error message do you get there. (select the correct time frame, the log could be big)
My guess is that some S_RFC authorisation is still missing there
This authorisation is outside SAP_ALL and is often the cause of this kind of issue
Tell me the error message and we will hopefully fix this (I had the same kind of issue when I started last year)
best regards Xavier

Current Proccesor in normal correction activity

Dear all helpers.
Please, what is actual role for Current processor in activity normal correction? Is it developer? Or is it simple the one, who proccess the activity NOW, I this role is changing during life cycle of correction? My concern is, that there is possibility to choose developers and other roles at the sheet partners.
Thank you for explanation.
Many thanx
Petr

hi Petr,
there are indeed different way to interpret this. It can be a "current processor" whaterer the function behind or the "main processor", in this case this is fixed.
The fact that by default prompt to become the processor each time someone enters the document shows that SAP has chosen a moving value there.
In our company we have choosen a fixed value. This is the one doing the actual change. (customizing or development)
The other partner functions are well defined (like IT operator,...) and these partners are playing their role depending on the correction status.
Both approach are valid for me
best regards
Xavier
