Retain existing versions after KM transport

Hi SDNers,
I need to transport xml articles (created using xml form builder) from Dev to QA system. I am doing so using the KM export and import features.
However, my requirement is such that these xml articles are already present in both the Dev and QA system with the same names and ids. New changes were made to the contents of these xml articles in the Dev system and these changes need to be moved/transported to the QA system. I would like to retain the existing versions of the xml articles on the QA system.
If I choose, the 'Delete Conflicting Data First' mode during import in the QA system, it will delete the existing QA xml files and import the Dev xml files as new versions, which is not what I want since I need to retain the old QA xml versions.
If I choose, the 'Merge Content within a Folder' mode during import in the QA system, the import process skips the xml files and does not import anything.
Can someone suggest a method to import the Dev changes to QA allowing the QA versions to be retained ?
Regards,
Melwyn

Hi Mikhail,
Thanks for your response. I do not want to backup the QA KM content. I could provide an example for my query:
I have a document called 'Value Shares' which is stored in a QA system KM folder where versioning has been enabled. At the moment there are 5 versions for that document in QA.
The same document is available in the Dev server as well. I have made changes to the contents of this document in the Dev system.
I want to transport this document to the QA system, such that, a new version is created for this document in the QA system containing the changes. Thus, after transport the document (already present) in the QA system should be updated and should show 6 versions.
Hope this helps.
Regards,
Melwyn.

  • Incorrect Workflow version after transport

    Hi,
    A modification was made to the standard Booking Approval workflow (WS01200151). The changes were successful and a new runtime version was generated on the development system.
    There seems to be a problem with the activation of Workflows transported to the QA system. After the transport no new version were activated on the QA system although the active version was included in the transport. (landscape: Development > QA > Production). I created a new version and also transported this, but the new version were not active. The status on QA was still  "Runtime version, Saved".
    I checked the transport log and there were no errors and all objects were moved to the QA system. However, when I check the workflow versions on QA, there are multiple inactive versions now QA. There are only 7 on development but there are about 60 on the QA system. The 2 workflows are not in-sync.
    The QA system is not open for changes and it is not ideal to open it either because then we will have to open the Production system as well. Does anyone know why the active version were not transported and how to fix this besides opening the QA system for changes?
    I am quite new to workflow and your help will be much appreciated.
    Regards
    Liza-Marie

    Thanks for the feedback, I learnt something new.
    The version in table HRS1205 on Development is 0007 and on QA it is 0006 and I executed function module SWD_WFD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999 but nothing is updated. I debugged the FM and found that it exits (without any exception) as the transport version details (date & time) is the same as the 9999 version (code line 91).
    SWD_WFD_REPLICATE_FROM_9999 reads table SWDSHEADER and in this table the last version is 0182! I don't know how all the versions from 0007 and 0182 was created but this seems to be causing problems.  I don't want to write a program to delete those redundant entries as I'm not sure what the impact would be. Do you know if there is a FM to delete the entries from table SWDSHEADER or any other table that would get rid of these versions?
    To answer your question, I can view the WF in PFTC, there are no messages.
    I will check OSS if I can find something.
    Thanks for you help, it's much appreciated.

  • Error "Object 'DM' (APCO) of type 'Application' is not available in version 'A'" while transporting process chain to production system.

    Hi Gurus,
    Whenever I try to transport a process chain ZFI_0FIGL_C10 from dev. to qua. & prod. the error “Object 'DM' (APCO) of type 'Application' is not available in version 'A'” is displayed in the end of creating transport package.
    The process chain was created to load data to 0figl_c10 and it works all right on all systems (dev. qua. prod.).
    The process chain contains processes for:
    - starting the process chain
    - executing infopackage (for loading data to 0figl_o10),
    - ACR (activate data in 0figl_o10)
    - delete index 0figl_c10
    - DTP loading data from 0figl_o14 to 0figl_c10    
    - executing infopackage 80FIGL_O10
    - creating index in 0figl_c10
    - building DB statistics
    - rolling up aggregates in 0figl_c10
    - deleting of requests from the changelog 0figl_o10
    - deleting of requests from PSA (0fi_gl_10)
    How to find what cause that error.

    Leszek

    Hi,
    A SAP consultant told me to ignore that error. 
    Indeed, after creating transport with some new process chains (again I was informed about that error "APCO ...") and transporting it to production everything works all right.
    The problem is described in sap note: 883745.

  • We have a situation where in an existing application after go live we need

    We have a situation where in an existing application after go live we need to add a new dimention. The fact is after adding the dimension the existing data will not have any value against this dimension(will have only null values). If so will it create a problem in loading or reporting?. How to resolve it?.

    My experience (on BPC 5.1 MS, and earlier versions) has been as follows:
    1.) create a new dimension, with at least 1 member. Pay particular attention to which member is the first base member in the hierarchy. (If you're planning to have multiple hierarchies in this dimension, wait for now on the ParentH2 etc. Start with just 1 hierarchy until you've completed these steps.) Process the dimension.
    2.) add that dimension to an existing application. When the application is processed, all of the existing data is assigned to that first base member of the new dimension.
    3.) If that's not sufficient, and you want to assign some data to another member of this new dimension, either use the "Move" package, or write custom SQL script logic, to get the data assigned to the correct members.

  • No versions after import for customer objects

    Hi all!
    I have a little problem with transporting of (customer dictonary objects) and the versions.
    The system enviroment is SAP ECC 6, software level
    SAPKB70016
    SAPKA70016
    SAPKH60302
    On the developer system the customer objects have versions - after transporting them to the quality system they have no versions.
    On the other side SAP Objects e. g. table BSEG or BKPF have versions - in the developer and also quality system.
    Its a strang thing. Normally versions will be created after import in a seperate step.
    How can i check if something is wrong with versions? The parameter "vers_at_imp" is not set in the tpparam but i think that shouldn't be a matter.
    Please can anybody help me - I don't believe that it will be a bug because all notes I found were for older releases.
    Thank you!
    Best regards
    Thomas Wassenhoven

    Hi!
    Thank you for the answer!
    I found additional information now - the version management is disabled per default (tp parameter vers_at_imp)

  • Web Premium CS6-Is it safe to remove previous versions after download?

    Just upgraded to Web Premium CS6.  Would like to recover some hard disk space.  I still have all previous Adobe applications on my laptop going back to
    CS2.  Is CS6 using anything from these older versions or can they be safely trashed? 
    If they are ok to remove, what is the best way to remove them?

    The best way to remove them is before you install the new version.  There can always be some shared respource that you might end up removing when you install older versions after installing the new.  Your safest bet will be to uninstall all and then reinstall what you intend to retain in oldest to newest order.
    You can always try and see if you can get away with uninstalling the older stuff without uninstalling, but going into that you know the potential consequences.
    If you do uninstall everything I recommend getting the CS cleaner tool into the loop:

  • EEWB enhancement screen null after CR transport.

    Hi guys,
    We did some EEWB enhancement to Opportunity and a new screen "Customer Fields" was generated and shown in GUI. But NOW, after we transported all CRs to QAS, the "Customer Fields" tab is null. No fields there. The fields exists in the structure and the screen is there too.
    Do you have an idea for this?
    Thanks a lot.

    This issue is fixed by activate the screen manually.

  • CS6 Installation Problem Pre Existing Version

    So whenever I have tried to install the trial version for CS6 after I've downloaded the setup it says there is a pre existing version of the program. I've search the computer though and there is nothing CS6 on the mac. Already have the serial number just having issues getting the program to install. Any suggestions for this problem I really could use some help.

  • I've tried to update my i-Tunes version after the site suggested I should following my i-Pad being plugged into it for the first time. The update seemed successful but the program would not open at all despite switching off the PC and re-starting several

    I’ve tried to update my i-Tunes version after the site suggested I should following my i-Pad Air being plugged into it for the first time. The update seemed successful but the program would not open at all despite switching off the PC and re-starting several times. I then tried wiping the original software from the computer and re-downloading from scratch. Each time I tried the download failed with a message saying “Service “Apple Mobile Device” failed to start. Verify that you have sufficient privileges to start system services” At this stage, the only way forward was to “abort” the download. This I have done now four times and the same thing happens. When I did finally manage to get an i-Tunes shortcut on my desktop, the program wouldn’t open saying: “i-Tunes was not installed correctly. Please re-install i-Tunes. Error 7 (Windows error 193)” Any ideas to resolve this?

    Apps are always tied to the ID that was used to purchase them originally. Did you try entering your old password and see if that works?
    If you need to sign out of your old account go to Settings>Store>Tap on your ID and sign out. Sign in with the new one.

  • How can I retain two versions of my iPad backup in iTunes?

    HI,
    When I backup my iPad on iTunes, the previous backup is automatically deleted and a new back is created.
    How can I retain two versions of my iPad bacup in iTunes?
    Thanks, Ramani

    Backup the device. Immediately restore the backup. The restored backup is now archived and a new rolling backup set is created. You can repeat as needed and clear older backups from Edit > Preferences > Devices.

  • Cannot set status of Urgent Change after manual transport

    Hi all,
    We are usng CHARM in Solution Manager 7.1 for import to the SAP ECC (EHP6) systems.
    I cannot set the status of the Urgent Change document (ZMHF) to status "To be Tested" after the transports were manually released and manually imported to the ECC QA system.
    When I use action "Pass Urgent Change to Test", the system stopped with error "Not all task are yet released" and will not change the status .
    Based, on the Task List log, the system started the release process although no transports were released.
    Is there any way that I can update the status of the Urgent Change document to "To be Tested"?
    I tried program CRM_SOCM_SERVICE_REPORT but still did not change the status.
    Any suggestion?
    Thanks,
    Tess

    Hi Venu,
    have a look under System Administration - System Configuration -- Knowledge Management -- Configuration --Content Management -- User Interface -- Commands -- UI Command Groups -- StatemanagementGroup.
    See Java class: com.sapportals.wcm.rendering.uicommand.cm.UIStatemanagementGroupCommand. Take the class and decompile this and everything needed around to understand how this class works.
    Then you can choose to extend this CommandGroup to also have a command "Resubmit for Approval" or you can implement your own UI Command only for resubmitting (you will also have to activate your command (group) by settings within the configuration).
    On the other hand, if all this is completely new to you, I'm a bit sceptical if the task isn't a bit too big as a first task on KM implementation topics...?
    Hope it helps
