Set Change to 'Development' : ERROR: No maintenance cycle

Hello,
i have customized the change management scenario in SolMan 4. Now that I have approved a change request I want to set the change to 'development'. But the error No Maintenance Cycle appears.
I have assigned a maintenance project to my Solution. I have actived the change management in the maintenance project, but as i wanted to push on the create task list button the message appears that my project ist not released yet, cycle can not be created.
Please could you explain me how to create a maintenance cycle, what are exactly the necessary steps and why I need a maintenance cycle, for example for creation of a new user??
Thank you in advance!!
Regards
Marcus

  • Error "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system"

    Hi,
    I'm setting up the ChaRM for test purposes.
    I have done everything according to SAP Expert Guided session requirements (like Basic configuration, Landscape and TSMS set-up) and also was reading and checking the following Blog " Change Request Management scenario: Working examples"
    /people/dolores.correa/blog/2009/07/23/change-request-management-scenario-working-examples
    Everything seems to be ok:
    1) Landscape ok, IBase created and active, Partners assigned to each component
    2) Maintenance project created and Maintenance cycle set to "Development with release"
    3) I can easily create Change request (I tried Normal correction), approve it.
    4) When I open Change Document for approved change reques - it gives error "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system" and I can't proceed with setting Change document status to "In development".
    In Change Request I indicate the only IBase (1) and as Component - SolMan clent 803, whish is set-up like PRD.
    What could be wrong?
    I tried reading all threads but did not get solution - there were suggestions to activate maintenance cycle (in my case it active), to check if business partners are assigned to IBase components (in my case done),
    What else?
    Thanks in advance,

  • ChaRM Error - "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system"

    Hello All,
    I am setting up ChaRM in development system after EGI session with SAP support. I have copied standard transactions to custom ones and created Maintenance and Implementation project to run test of all scenarios.
    I now come across error of "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system" after I create a change request and in the change document, I cannot see it link with task list and the error message is displayed. I tried it with custom transaction as well as standard SAP transaction (SDCR) and get the same error.
    What links a document to a maintenance cycle? Where can I see the config of this setup? I am trying to see where it is broken. I am using the correct IBASE number (production client in logical component), I tried to create a new logical component, new projects with correct settings but it still gives this error message. Please advice.
    Thanks and regards,
    Nischal

  • Error "no link to maintenance cycle" happens after reset to previous phase

    Experts:
    I have a CHaRM project which has successfully transported a few changes into production.
    Then I use action "set to previous phase" several times  to set this project to "development without release".
    Then I create another change request by selecting the maintenance cycle of above project.
    After authorizing and saving above change request, a normal correction is created. However this normal correction
    has an error "no link to maintenance cycle" even its document flow shows the maintenance cycle mentioned above.
    The IBase is the same as previous selected and is verified to be right.
    Could you help decide what else is wrong?
    Thanks!

    Hi
    Please go to your project and PRESS REFRESH button in System landscape-Change Requests Tab
    this update the entries in database then now
    goto this table  /TMWFLOW/PROJMAP
    Check if the Project is still locked in table /TMWFLOW/PROJMAP: If an error is detected during the processing, then the project might be locked in this table.
    The refresh button will help you to get out of this problem and check also if there any other errors.

  • How to take a maintenance cycle out of phase 'Development without Release'?

    Gurus:
    I have a need to take a maintenance cycle out of phase 'Development without Release'.
    I have searched  OSS and SDN but failed to find any solution.
    Would you please help give some hint? 
    I appreciate your precious help.

    Hi,
    If you want to change the phase of you maintenance cycle, 2 solutions :
    Go in t-code solar_project_admin then choose you project. In the System Landscape --> Change Request Tab, then either :
    - click on the Show Tasklist button then click on the Phase button. You can change the phase from here.
    - click on the Show Service Desk transaction which is the cycle and change the phase executing an action.
    Hope it helps.
    Kind regards,
    Stéphane.
    PS : you can use tx /n/tmwflow/proj as well by choosing a project from the left pannel then clicking on the full screen button in the Scheduling tab.

  • Maintenance cycle linking to change request

    hi all,
    we have copied std change request sdcr to zdcr and have modifed it by adding action and conditions to it. please advice on the following:
    -  when creating a followon document, i am not getting a pop up window asking for selection of maintanance cycle. whereas i am getting the pop up window for standard change reuqest. am i missing something here.
    Points will be awarded for helpful answers.
    regards,
    imran

    Hello Imran,
    As far as the maintenance cycle and my knowledge concern, this maintenance cycle pop up should come when Change Manager (user in ChaRM) authorizes the Change request Document created by Service Desk Employee provided the required authorizations are given to Change Manager. Please let me know the authorizations for Change Manager in your system. If it is a sandbox or development system, you can try assigning the sap_all to change manager and check whether maintenance cycle pop up coming or not.
    Hope it helps.
    Regards,
    Satish.

  • Charm implementation: No maintenance cycle is open for the current system

    Gurus,
    I'm in implementation project to use charm.
    I've created SDCR using charm_create, and choose transaction type subject "Development (implementation)"
    After approving the change request, so that the status become "Approved", I re-open the request to set into "in development", but there's error:
    "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system"
    I've checked notes and search the forum but not relevant to my subject.
    Please help.
    Regards,

    Hi Cesar,
    I'm facing this issue now. I have followed Dolores blog
    - The IBase is wrong: The IBase/component must represent the production system in the project landscape. RP1 is my production
    - Lack of authorizations: Assign role "SAP_SOCM_ADMIN" or "SAP_CM_ADMINISTRATOR_COMP" (or equivalent) to the user who would like to approve the change request. I have updated all roles and given the users SAP_ALL
    - Project is locked in table /TMWFLOW/PROJMAP: If an error is detected during the processing, then the project might be locked in this table. The customer can unlock it by pressing the refresh button under tab "System Landscape" -> "Change Requests". If there are other error messages shown during the refresh process, the customer must fix those errors beforehand. Refreshed it many times without errors
    I'm on the latest level of Solman 7.1 SP8, I have implemented all the new notes as well.
    I have attached a screenshot
    To me it seems like a bug, but haven't found anything on marketplace. Any help is much appreciated.
    Cheers

  • Assigment maintenance cycle -- system (IBASE) in CharM

    Hello!
    I have the problem to establish CharM functionality.
    When I try to set a urgent correction in status "In Development" I get the following error:
    No maintenance cycle is open for the current system
    My question are:
    - How do this assignment maintenance cycle <--> system (IBASE) work?
    - Is it perhaps possible to execute this assignment manually?
    - Is there some log files that can be analysed for this problem?
    Thanks & regards
    Thom

    Hi,
    About this issue, there is a detail information about this in blog point 6  u201CChanges in the logical components of a project where Charm is already activatedu201D.
    This is the link:  http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/15116
    So, you have to change the transport route accordingly and then close current maintenance cycle and generate a new one.
    Following is the steps.
    1: please import all the transport requests which were associated in the current maintenance cycle task list by STMS manually import.
    1: change transport route from DEV > PREPROD >PROD to DEV > USER > PROD on the domain controller system.
    2: close current maintenance cycle.
    3: change the system landscape to DEV > USER > PROD in solar_project_admin.
    4: generate a new maintenance cycle.
    Thanks
    Regards,
    Vikram

  • No Maintenance Cycle is open for current system

    Hi Experts,
    We are facing a peculiar problem in ChaRM implementation.
    We have successfully created the maintenance cycle .But when we try to create change transaction & get it approved then it is showing an error : " No Maintenance cycle is open for current system".
    We have checked all the configuration like STMS & system landscape too. All are working fine.
    Any help will be appreciated.
    Pooja Mittal.

    Hi,
    you might have different reasons why it is not working
    1 check the status of the tasklist (or cycle) and of your project (service desk document) (via SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN)
    2. check your authorisation for project
    3. check the subject code of the change request (Implementation or Maintenance project ?) check
    CRMD_ORDER on your change request
    4. check the type of project you have activated (should match the above subject code) via SOLAR_PROJECT_ADMIN
    5. check the target system of your change request : it should be a  productive environment
    I hope it helps

  • ChaRM: Normal Change - Not possible to set "Successfully Tested" unless the Maint. Cycle is set to "In Development with Release"

    Hello,
    I'm doing some tests with ChaRM, Normal Change scenario.
    As far as I know, the following steps would be the correct sequence (concerning development and test phases only):
    1) Developers perform the correction in DEV and release their TASKS of the transport request
    2) Developer Lead set the Normal Change document status to "to be tested"
    3) In background, a Transport of Copies is created with all data previously stored in the original transport request. Then this ToC is transported into QAS
    4) Change Manager set the Maintenance Cycle status to "Test"
    5) Tester performs the test into QAS
    6) Tester provides a valuable feedback and set Normal Change document status to "tested successfully"
    According to the following SAP Portal article, it seems to be correct:
    http://help.sap.com/saphelp_sm71_sp10/helpdata/en/48/db938dceba518de10000000a42189c/frameset.htm
    During my tests, however, I have noticed that it is just possible to go from step 5 to 6 if the Maintenance Cycle status is set to "In Development with Release" (go a step back in the Cycle). Otherwise, I get the following error messages:
    Warning Message Details Status was reset by system
    Warning Message Details Action RELEASE_ALL cannot be performed during this maintenance phase
    Warning Message Next status cannot be set because some actions cannot be executed.
    Once I have done the Cycle status change, then it is possible to move from 5 to 6 without errors and then the original transport request is transported into QAS too.
    Question: Is this the correct behavior or am I missing customizing?
    Thanks in advance for your help.
    Daniel

    Hello Vivek,
    Thanks for your reply.
    It is kinda weird the steps sequence, since the Tester needs to tell the Change Manager to move the cycle's status before approving the correction done in QAS (successfully tested).
    Perhaps a new action between "to be tested" and "successfully tested" could exist, in order to request the CM to perform the cycle update.
    But OK, that's how it is.
    Regards,
    Daniel

  • Error while trying to complete a maintenance cycle

    Hi,
    I created a maintenance cycle and had some requests created underneath it, some of them gone into production and some of them till QA and one in Dev stage. Created another project along with created another maintenance cycle. Have some requests on that.
    Now when i try to close the first cycle it showed all the requests completed and the one still in the cycle (testing stage, dev stage) and also it gave a message like if you complete now it will not be reused in this cycle but when next cycle for that project is created it will be transferred there. I went ahead and tried to complete (close) the cycle, but it is not doing it. The following is what the error showing:
    CTS projects for Solman project ZMAINT_1 could not be releaed
    CTS project DR1_P0004 in system DR1 client 130 could not be released
    Status is showing as Being Completed and it is not allowing to create new cycle since the previous is not completed properly.
    Any idea like anything particularly to be done for those CTS project in development system.
    Thanks,
    Murali.

    Hi Ruben,
      Thanks for the reply and it worked after releasing the modifiable requests under that cycle. But when i created another cycle under that project it transferred all the urgent correction transports (some of them went to production, some of them not) from the previous closed one but it is not showing any normal correction related transport requests, what happened to those normally when you close a cycle ?
    Thanks,
    Murali.

  • ChaRM: Change name of Maintenance Cycle

    Dear Experts,
    Once a Maintenance Cycle is created I have no clue how to change this name.
    In the Task List I'm able to change the 'Task Group Name', but this reflect to the MC name in the pop-up when you create a Correction.
    Anybody an idea?
    Thanks
    Roel

    Christian,
    Indeed I mean the M000 and H000 names.
    Maybe they can be changed directly in the DB, but the only thing I found until now is a shortcut '/TMWFLOW/PROJCT' which I'm unable to open in SE16.
    I'm trying to find out how I can find the table name behind this shortcut.

  • Object to change the SCMA maintenance cycle phase in CHARM

    Hi Everyone,
    Can anyone let me know what is the Object which can perform the activity of changing the Maintenance cycle phase in SCMA Tcode in CHARM? i know only the change manager will have authorization to do that. i want to know the Role name and the particular object which will perform this activity.
    thanks,

    Hi ,
    You can follow the below steps.
    -> Goto Tcode SUIM
    -> Roles -> By authorization object
    -> object name : B_SMAN_WPL

  • Moving Change requests to new Maintenance cycle after approval

    Good Day
    I was wondering, is there an easy way to move any give change request from one maintenance cycle to another one. An example would be.
    I have a change request that currently has 1 ABAP, 1 Config and 1 Security transport assigned to our current maintenance cycle. I have been requested to move the change request (along with all the transports) to a future maintenance cycle.
    Is it just a case of re-assigning the change request to the future cycle, ?
    Regards
    Don Newton

    Hi Don,
    It's a very interesting question... I think that a lot of people here need this functionality and SAP finally hear that from us.
    This new functionality came with SP15. You should have a look to SAP notes 1071412, 1134993 and 1141086, it may help you to solve your problem.
    regards,

  • No maintenance cycle is open for the current system

    Hello!
    I have problems to use CharM functionality due to following error:
    <b>No maintenance cycle is open for the current system</b>
    The error arises when I try to set a urgent correction in status "In Development" I get the following error, menwhile I have an valid maintenance cycle active.
    I use CharM functionality for the solution consisting of an single system with two clients:
    SRM:000 (as DEV-system) (system role: source system)
    SRM:100 (as PRD-system) (system role: target system)
    - No maintenance cycle is open for the current system (meanwhile I have a valid maintenance cycle created and activated).
    Futhermore I get the additional warning:
    IBase component is not a productive system in system lanscape
    Can some help me with this issue?
    Thank you very much!
    regards
    Thom

    Hello Kriti,
    thank you very much for your response.
    Unfortunately I also thought about it.
    Basically my CharM procedure looks as follows.
    I send the message from productive client (I have only one system with client 000 and 100)  to Service Desk in SOLMAN.
    There I can see the IBase of the productive client.
    Then I create a urgent correction by assigning IBase to this IBase of productive client. It is also possible to change the IBase in change mode, so I have tried all the possible values of IBase and get the same error.
    My problem also is that I have multiple values of IBase assigmenets, it means one system has multiple assigments to IBase components.
    I do not know how to delete/cut these settings....
    Thank you for your further help!
    regards
    Thom
