Table for Modification assistant

Hello Gurus,
When we modify a standard program or program imported from other system, the system will popup for Modification assistant.
Then we will add our coding either using modification assistant or by turnign off modification assistant.
Now my question is, which table will hold the information about the modification assistant for a particular program.
Because, if we have turned modification assistant off, then the program will not popup modificaiton assistant, the next time we change the program. If we have used modification assistant, then it will popup for modification assistant.
So, definitely, this stuff is stored in some DB Table. So, please let me know how this stuff works or in which DB Table, information about modification assistant is stored.
Thanks and Best Regards,
Suresh

Hi,
If you find entry in table SMODISRC means, you have done modification operation off for your object.

Modification assistant or similar concept for Z program

Hi,
I have a requirement where I want to switch on the modification assistant for Z programs.
The requirement is such that I want the user to allow to make change for only a particular part of the code the rest part should be frozen for any changes. I think Modification Assistant will partially provide this.
But it seems that MA cannot be used for Z programs. Is there any other way to do this ?
Please pour in your thoughts.
Thanks in advance.
Regards
Megha

Hi,
Why dont you try to create 2 objects ...1 main program with editor lock and the other 1 include program where in all the part that the user can change are there..much like the user-exit concept
Just a suggestion.

SPAU issues with: Without Modification Assistant: No versions found

Hi,
We have upgraded from SAP 4.7 to SAP ECC 6 with Unicode.
After the upgradation we have started working with SPAU objects.
Currently I am working on SPAU: Without Modification Assistant.
I have gone though some docs in those they have asked to compare the versions using Version Management options.
But when I am tiring to check the Version Management for many of the objects I am getting the message: No versions found
Some of the objects are for which I am getting the message No versions found are as follows :

Hi,
in SPAU you will be getting three things..
1>Green light 2>yellow light and 3>Red light
when the upgrade takes place if you see any object under Green that means the changes are automatically carried to the new version from older version
for yellow it has done partially and for red you need to do manually copying the code to the new version.
You have an option is "RESET to original" if you do this , the code will be reset to what SAP provided in the new version. Your old code won't be there.
Please go through the below link to understand about SPAU and SPDD.

SAPGUI 7.20 patch level 5 problem with Modification Assistant

I'm using SAPGUI 720 patch level 5 on a Windows 7 sp1 machine. There is a serious issue with modification assistant not working properly.
For some reason it does not focus on the correct code line and automatic comments are not inserted either.
Anyone else facing this issue?

Hello Jason,
sounds as if this could be related to the correction from note 1569250 "Focus set to textedit toolbar on roundtrip".
I assume that a textedit control is used in the Modification Assistant - right?
If so the easiest solution for you is to apply hotfix 2 we published couple of days ago (hotfix 2 is available on SAP SMP).
Best regards,
Frank

Switch on modification assistant -- Very urgent

Hi,
How to switch on modification assistant?
I'm facing a problem in a standard include....modification assistant is not appearing
Regards
Jiku

Jiku,
See the below link
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/83/7a18d1de6e11d195460000e82de14a/frameset.htm
To modfy the std programs SAP has provided the Modification assistant to clearly indicate the modification process(like Insert/delete with numbers).
Once you switched off it, you can't make it switch on .
once it gives the complete code accessable(SWITCH OFF), then it won't make it to ON again.

Adjustment using SPAU for Objects Without Modification Assistant

Hi
How to adjust Objects under Without Modification Assistant.
For example if there is an issue with custom program or BAPI, do I have to manually edit them and adjust to old version.
Cheers
Senthil

Hi,
Tcode SPAU is for adjusting programs and Function Modules.

SPAU - for repository Objects Changes
see the doc
SPAU

http://help.sap.com/saphelp_46c/helpdata/EN/60/d6ba7bceda11d1953a0000e82de14a/content.htm
Please find below, answers to your questions:
1.What objects will come in SPAU and SPDD?
Ans: All the objects which are modified, after tansporting to the current system,
will be listed in SPAU and SPDD. SPDD contains the list of all modified Data Dictionary objects, like tables, dataelements, domains,view...etc. The rest of all the modified repository objects will be listed in SPAU.
What happens to the modifications done in the older version when we upgrade the version? (with Modification assistant and w/o)
Ans: After the initial upgrade happens, we have to do adjustments from SPAU/SPDD to maintain or reset the changes. That is, from the list of objects in SPAU/SPDD, you have to either carry forward the changes to the new version, by choosing the option ADOPT CHANGES (available on right click) or RESET TO ORIGINAL (available on right click).
Will they come in these transactions?
Ans: yes, they will be listed in these transactions, after the BASIS updgrade activity.
And what if we apply some patches(Notes) to the system? What is the impact of these patches to the SPAU transaction?
Ans: Patches will be supported by the version upgrade. In case of notes, we have to verify whether these notes are supported by the new version (you can go into http://www.service.sap.com/notes to verify this. Also, we have to analyze whther the code in the note is already incorporated in the new version. In this case you can ignore the chanes choosing RESET TO ORIGINAL option
http://help.sap.com/saphelp_erp2005vp/helpdata/en/2e/6d66587d9011d396b60000e82de14a/frameset.htm
If you have applied any OSS notes to objects in your system, the hot package may overwrite these objects.
SPDD is used to identify dictionary objects
and
SPAU (repository objects), will identify any objects where the hot package is overwriting changes you have made through OSS notes.
You must check all objects identified in SPAU and decide whether you need to reapply the OSS note or reset the code to the original SAP Code.
Also once the changes have been done you would see a green traffic light.
If you double click on the modified object it will show you a split window where on the left you will have the original version and on right the modified version. So you can choose which to keep and which to reject. You may keep the modified version incases where you know that the notes will only be pakages in the next version.

Issues with modification assistant txn SPAU

Hi,
I have suceesfully adjust the changes to newly upgraded system using modification assistant - txn SPAU. But the adjustment category with modification assistant objects under on a different request in Development client 000. Without modification assistant objects under another request in Development client 500. Does it affect the changes made.

Hi,
All the adjustment should be done in the development client not in 000. So there will not be any issue if you have done changes in client 500.

Reg,

Hi,
While changing the sap standard apllication,the first time you give access key it will generate the request
and from there after it iwll not ask any request.you can simply write the code where evre it's appropritae.
if it is transported to production then if you try to insert code it will ask for the request.
Check the below links,might be useful.

Modification assistant for customer reports

Hi,
How to enable modification assistant for the reports in customer namespace ?
Regards,
Rafal Olechowski

sorry for the late reply.
No You can not do it through Modifictaion Overview for Custom reports, unless and untill its an standard SAP program.
Might be there any standard functions which could help you, but am not sure of this.
And as i said the version management and the version comparision can help you know the changes done in any report. in the version management only you can find the version comparision based on the requests.

SPAU: Modification assistant switched off Upgrade ended

Hi,
I am trying to modify an Include in a function group, but I am not able to activate it.It shows a message 'Operation Terminated'.When I checked in SPAU , for the same include it says 'Modification assistant switched off Upgrade ended'. How can I switch on the modification assistant.Its Urgent ..
Regards,
Smitha

Hi,
Double click on the object and go to editing mode; edit if any changes are required .Usually this problem comes if all the changes of old version did not come to new system , manually add those changes and then activate it. The red stop sign will change in to green check. If u dnt have any changes to modify the object the also go to editing mode and activate it manually.
