Releasing SPDD/SPAU Transport manually

Hello All,
Is there any diference between
Selecting "select for transport" in SPAU/SPDD (this will update the umodauto.st file) and then Releasing
Manually
And
Selecting "select for transport" in SPAU/SPDD and then Releasing
through the Upgrade Tool?

Hi,
selecting "select for transport" is an pointer for the upgrade/ehpi tool that these requests are need to be exported by the tool.
the respective export happens in the UEXP_SPDD and UEXP_SPAU phases.
You can also release the requests under certain conditions : for example, modifications needs to be merged, or by chance the requests are not maked for transport. The correct procedure in such cases is as explained in SAPnote #  68678. This will take care of all the conditions and no other manual work is required.

  • How to handle delta SPDD & SPAU adjustments in the 2nd Upgrade QA & PRD

    Dear all,
    We have successfully upgraded our development box and we have made the SPDD changes into a single transport requests and also the SPAU requests in a different requests.
    Our ABAP team has made the SPDD adjustments comparing the objects with production and QA.
    Now when we upgrade our QA box we have included the SPDD & SPAU transports and now we found that we have about 8 extra objects that needs to be modified manually in SPDD phase? out of 79 objects 71 is adjusted my out SPDD transports and it has left out 8 more objects.
    These 8 objects were never shown in SPDD phase of our development box.
    Can you please suggest us, like how to handle these delta objects, so that we won't phase the same issue when we move to production. (offcourse we will do 2-3 dry runs before going to production)
    I have read the below note, but it is for the older version (without shadow instance)
    Note 124522 - Importing a modification adjustment in 2nd upgrade
    Thanks &
    Regards
    Senthil

    1.If you have choosen strategy resource-minimized, they are adjusted during downtime before the ABAP Dictionary is activated.
    copy the cofiles and datafiles in the respective directories. List all the requests in umodauto.lst.
    In PREPARE phase ADJUSTPRP the following screen appears
    For automatically maintaining your modification in your ystem during the upgrade transport request from earlier upgrades are searched in the umoauto.lst in directory /usr/sap/trans/bin..
    The file could not be read
    There are several reason why this may be correct
    eg: 'this is your first upgrade' or 'your system is not modified'.
    Did you expect a list of transports being found?
    ->Confirm a list of transports to be included in the upgrade
    Select Yes & OK
    Click on Yes to include the transport
    Click Yes to stop the ACT_700 phase and check the results of SPDD
    2.You can add additional requests to umodauto.lst
    3. Regarding why its how in QA.? Reasons could be
    1modification could have been done only in QA
    2)Are the DEV and QA are on the same kernel & SP level's

  • SPAU Transport throwing error

    Hi There,
    Recently we built a sandbox system with system copy of Production system and at same time we refreshed our development system with production system. Means both sandbox and development system are now the copy of production system.
    After that we performed patching on sandbox system keeping in mind that we will use SPDD and SPAU adjustment in our actual landscape (DEV->QAS->PRD). After patching on Sandbox, we got both SPDD and SPAU transport.
    And all these 4 systems are sharing the common transport directory and Sandbox system is not in same transport group (not in transport routes with actual landscape).
    Now we started patching on DEV system and i maintained SPDD transport in SPAM queue with all the support packages.
    After finishing patching SPDD objects are all in green. But when i imported SPAU transport it throw error in Generation of Programs and Screen.
    So can you suggest what would be the cause and what action we can take? In spau, few objects are adjusted with this transport and few are not.
    Regards,
    Mohit

    Hi Mohit,
    Can you manually activate all the affected objects and check the results.
    It looks to be inconsistency with the version in the buffer vs database.
    Hope this helps.

  • Copy QA SPAU Transports into Development

    Hello experts,
    Our development team has created SPAU transport request in QA system and it has been released from QA. Team told me to copy the transport into new request and put STMS buffer to Development system.
    Since dev and QA in same transport directory I have added into development STMS_IMPORT --> Add to buffer manullly then I can the transport request in development queue .
    But they dont want this way , they asking me to create copy of the QA transport and add into development STMS buffer queue.As per I know i can create SE09 workbench request and add object .My QA,Dev systems are very critical , if i create manual request as copy of original request is objects will overwrite in QA? And after that how to add this request into development?
    Iam not sure how it works, but it would be really great if you can answer this..

  • Upgrade to ECC 6.0 from 4.7 - When to execute SPDD/SPAU

    Hi Expert,
    I'm doing technical upgrade from 4.7 to ECC 6.0 and just discover notes that related to activating Add-ons (Business Switch) for DIMP. It seems like some of the switch need to be turn on manually. The question is, should this switch be turned on before SPDD/SPAU or I can run SPDD/SPAU then turn on the switch? I'm raising this question because I notice some of the collective search help that contain customized elementary search help become resetted and the customized search help is not included in the standard search help anymore. Thanks in advance for the answer.
    Rgrds,
    Abraham

    Hi Abraham,
    As said by Abdul you can do the SPDD during the phase ACT_700, The SAPup tool stops at this phase and prompts you for the confirmation.
    In this phase you have to login to the shadow instance and in the 000 client with DDIC user and create a user as the copy of the DDIC.
    use this newly created user for doing the SPDD in the shadow instance.
    SPAU can be done once the upgrade is completed with in 14 days with out a developer key after 14 days you need a developer key.
    when you carry out further upgrades you can include these 2 requests SPDD and SPAU during the upgrade itself. In this situation if you have any other delta adjustments then you have to do that delta in the shadow instace otherwise you dont need to work again on the SPDD and SPAU for the rest of the systems.
    Hope this info is useful.
    Thanks,
    Venkat.

  • SPAU transport and UCMIG_REQINC phase in CUUC - several questions

    Hello,
    Phase UCMIG_REQINC  has the following option
       You can now include one ore more transport requests, including the Unicode-enabling
       of your customer programs.
       If you decide not to include a request now, you need to do the neccessary adaptions
       of your programs manually after the Upgrade and before starting the Unicode Conversion.
       Do you want to include a (further) request?
    Questions
    1. What is the advantage of including the SPAU transpor there?
    2. If you did not include it here, do you really need to put it after the upgrade and before the UC?
    - what if you import the SPAU transport after the UC?
    Thanks,
    Terry

    Hi Terry,
    Normally when you do the upgrade in the development system , the spau modification adjustment done and transport request will be created.In the subsequent system the same transport request can be included so that you do not have to do the transport after the upgrade.Here if you included the request it will be taken care of the upgrade program.
    Questions
    1. What is the advantage of including the SPAU transpor there?
    Ans - SPAU will be completed by upgrade program,you do not have to transport it manually after upgrade.
    2. If you did not include it here, do you really need to put it after the upgrade and before the UC?
    Ans- Yes you should import the SPAU request after upgrade and before UC.
    - what if you import the SPAU transport after the UC?
    Conversion error will come you may loose your modification.

  • Problem with SPAU Transports after Upgrade and after applying SAPKW70016

    Dear All,
    we copied old dev to new QA, upgraded new QA, then copied new QA to new DEV.
    did the SPAU adjustments in DEV.  At that time DEV SAP_BW version was SAPKW70015.  After that we applied SAPKW70016.  Now we're having problems with the SPAU transport because of the application of SAPKW70016. 
    Requested to kindly suggest ASAP.
    Thanks & Regards

    Hi,
    Could you please to be more specific with the error ? Please check the log e send us the message error that is happening during the transport.
    Thanks,

  • SPDD & SPAU  and EhP4  before or after ?

    Hello all
                  We intend to go for upgrade from 4.6c to ECC6 with EHP4 ..We are planning to have SPDD & SPAU first then install EhP4 and then  again SPDD & SPAU. But my question is in order to save time can we skip the initial SPDD & SPAU analysis n fixation part and directly go to EhP4 installation and then do the SPDD & SPAU analysis .?
    Please help
    Thanks & Regards
    Nilesh

    Hello Friend,
    Rgrding the SPAU and SPDD...I would suggest that the way you have taken is correct...
    Because you are upgrading ECC6 from 4.6c and i can expect there are lot of customization!
    so first to SPAU & SPDD after ECC6 again after ENh4 (because enhancement package can bring some new feature alongside the ECC6)...
    In that way it is easy to maintain the system and existing code...
    good luck

  • Release strategy for Transport requests

    Hi,
    Can anybody give me the detail steps to configure release strategy for transporting requests?
    we are having Dev and Prd systems.
    Regards,
    Vinnu.

    Hello,
    I hope you have configured TMS for two system landscape.
    Just make the transport routes also, make DEV system as a Domain Controler.
    Then transport requests will automatically come in to the request queue.
    Using tx stms_import , import those request sequentially !!
    Note: Points always encourage me to reply !!

  • How to cancel release of a transport in "release started" state.

    Hi All,
    I had released a tranport and the tranport is stuck in "Release Started" phase due to issues with one of the objects in the request.
    I believe we can fix this by modifying the object. But for that either the transport has to be fully released or it has to be out of "release started" phase.
    Can anyone please advise as to how do we cancel release of a transport which is in "Release Started" phase?
    Thanks,
    Tirth

    Transaction SE03 offers option "Unlock Objects (Expert tool)", which has a checkbox "set to released".
    You can give this a try, but you should better contact a system administrator ("basis") beforehand, as this is not an ABAP development issue.

  • Custom program to release/importa a transport request

    Hi all.
    I was searching the forum but I didn't found any post. Well, this is my issue: I want to create a program that can do all the transport steps: release a transport request and import this transport request in another system.
    When I say "another system" I'm talking about SAP systems in the same transport route: Development --> Test --> Prod.
    I didn't found any Function Module or BAPI to do this process. Any idea? I think there will be a FM/BAPI to release a transport request and another to do the import in target system.
    Thanks in advance. Regards,
    Roberto Campo

    Hello,
    To do the release : TMS_TP_EXPORT
    To do the import : TMS_TP_IMPORT
    For the rest check function modules in function group TMST in tcode SE80.
    I don't understand why you want such a program.
    Importing transports can be automated via STMS (example automatic import every 10 minutes), then you don't need to write your own program, because after release of your transport, transport comes in the QA import queue and will be imported via the automatic job.
    Success.

    Hi Satish
    <b>SPAU - for repository Objects Changes
    SPDD -for Data Dictionary object changes</b>
    see the doc
    SPAU and SPDD Sights:
    http://www.sap-img.com/bc018.htm
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_nw04/helpdata/en/c6/068d380be34e6ce10000009b38f842/content.htm
    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

  • SPAU/SPDD doesnt allow manual changes

    Hello Experts,
    My customer has a problem during the implementation of a note. whenever he tries to change a view of a webdynpro component he gets an error message
    "Carry out modification comparison for WDYC POWL_UI_COMP MASTER_CONTENT first. No changes possible". He is getting this since 10 days now..
    Anyone knows the reason for this and how this can be overcomed.
    Thanks,
    JVR

    Hello Kiran,
    i checked for the locked notes and unfortunately found none. when i checked the version mgmt of the object, it seems that they have implemented a SP sometime back(21-03-07).
    In your previous message, u have mentioned about 'resett to original' option. if i understand it correctly, this
    can be used if the customer wants to revert back to the previous version. Is there any option to 'set as original' so as to make the current changes in the system as original and enable him to carry out the changes ?
    If yes, where can i find that option as i see no note number in version management and it seems that he has upgraded to next SP.
    thanks a lot for ur inputs.

  • SPDD / SPAU

    Hi,
    what is the different between SCC4 and SPAU/ SPDD function ?
    is it true that during the upgrade , we didnt have to bring object from old system to new system , but instead using SCC4?
    Hi Rudy,
    SCC4 is the Client Administration view. The only case that you will need it during the upgrade is to allow changes to client 000 during SPDD. SCC4 has absolutely nothing to do with actually transporting objects. If you plan to transport objects from the old release to the new one, you must use STMS. But please be very careful when transporting objects between different releases of an SAP system.
    SPDD is used to display and adjust the modified DDIC objects. You must process these objects ("Reset to Original" or "Adjust") as soon as you reach the upgrade phase ACT_< target release >. Once you're done adjusting the objects, you choose "Repository ok". The upgrade phase ACT activates then all the objects of your system.
    1. During tech upgrade , basis choose "Continue" instead of choosing "Adjustment completed" .
    should we do this SPDD during techncl upgrade process? or do this later after techncl upgrade?
    SPAU is used to display and adjust the modified DE objects of the system. The phase SPAUINFO is one of the last Post Processing phases of the technical upgrade. There is a message explaining that, if you want to use the result of the adjustments for a subsequent system, you must not continue. In that case, we just exit SAPup or leave it waiting for an input. As soon as the adjustment is done for ALL objects listed in SPAU, you go back to SAPup again and choose "Adjustments completed".
    Your basis consultant choose "Continue" which means that the result of the adjustments won't be used during the technical upgrade of a subsequent system. This has also been the case in almost all the upgrades I've performed myself.
    Regards,
    Constantina
