SOLAR_MIGRATION of multiple projects & Change documents

Hi,
We are in the process off migrating solution manager projects to a new server using solar_migration. The idea is to migrate project by project since the projects are rather large.
Now I get the idea that the generated transport contains all the change documents, also those of of other projects not yet migrated, even though I have only selected one project for the migration. The reason I get this idea is that the size of the transport files of empty migration test projects runs into several GB, so they must contains documents that do not belong to it.
This could be a problem if for instance in 2 weeks time we migrate the second project which also contains all the change documents. This second migration could then overwrite the possibly updated documents in the project we migrated first.
Is the assumption correct that you cannot limit the migration of a project to only contain the change documents of that specific project?
If it is could we for the second project select the change documents based on a date range? And will the documents of the second project that have a change stamp before this date range authomatically become visible once the second project is migrated?
Thanks for any clarification
Tom

Hi Tom,
there is no risk to overwrite any documents, documents are identified by a unique ID, and each change generates a new version.
If there are objects (=documents) in the transpotr request, that should not be in there (you should verify from the transport objects), you should open a call to SAP asking for clarification there.
Kind regards,
Carl

Error while approving change document(TR lost project code)

Hi All,
I am having issue in change document approval, when we are approving change document for unit testing or if release management approving change for pre-production or production approval, we are getting error, I started coming from last two days only,\
when I did detail analysis, in all transports project code related to change document, disappear
although if I create new change document, project code appear,
Do we have way to solve this issue?, I even not able to decouple the transport from change document, it giving error, do we have way where we can resync change document and transport?
Dinesh

Hi All,
Do anyone have some solution for this issue?, it is bigger than I thought, I can check it impacted all systems, and all transports, all transports seems to issue they lost project code in it we rollover maintenance cycle last week and this problem started from their, we put charm master note and few other charm fixes(notes) last week,
this problem not coming any new change document, but all change document created before rollover impacted

Problem in multiple item for change document objects

hi gurus,
I have created change document object in tcode SCDO . It had giveN function module /TMW/CHG_OBJ1_WRITE_DOCUMENT.
CDPOS AND CDHDR tables are updated with changed data. now i am trying to display all old and new data in se38 program.
here my problem is when ever i changed multiple item data , my program showing first item details only . I need to show all item data when ever i changed parallel . please help me where is my problem .
thank you

I think this is issue with function module generated thru SCDO Please check in your function module inside that the following function modules are used
CALL FUNCTION 'CHANGEDOCUMENT_OPEN'
CALL FUNCTION 'CHANGEDOCUMENT_MULTIPLE_CASE'
CALL FUNCTION 'CHANGEDOCUMENT_CLOSE'
if not then there may be issue with SCDO

Mass change Tcode for status of multiple projects

Dear All,
Any SAP Standard t code for mass Status change for multiple Projects
(like TECO,AALK).
Thanks.
Arun

Hi
You dont have this option in any STD SAP t.codes, where you can change the status of the projects/WBSE collectively.
So use this BAPI to Read the status of Project/WBSE
BAPI_BUS2001_GET_STATUS To get both the active system statuses and the user statuses for a project definition
use this BAPI to Change the status of Project/WBSE
BAPI_BUS2001_SET_STATUS
one system status and one user status can be revoked each time, and one system status and one user status can be set each time for a project definition
For Network order status change
BAPI_BUS2002_SET_STATUS
Set/Reset Network Status. At the same time, you can revoke one system status and one user status, or set one system status and one user status in a list of activities for the network.
Thanks

Error in multiple operation with change document object for custom table

hi all,
I have developed a change document object for a custom table ZTEST and developed a report program for insertion, updation & deletion..everything works fine if I do only once ie. if I created only 1 entries. If I created 2 new entries , I am getting an Error "DUPREC:POS&Z3RL_TAB&Z3RL_TAB" and EXIT the transaction.
why I am getting this error??? is it not possible to do multiple operation with the change document???
kindly help.

Project version and Change documents

Hi,
1) What is the difference between project version and Change documents?
2) For Network say 100000, how to create different versions ( version 1,2,3.....)
Regards,
Prasad

Hi ,
Given below is the scenario:
The project is having WBS and network created using assembly processing. The network say 10000 has got activities with work center (WC) and activity types 1,2 and 3.
The requirement is:
For the same network 10000 with the above activity types, Is it possible to create different work centers WC1, WC2 AND WC3 for Version 1, 2 and 3.
ie,
Network -
work center----
version
10000 -
WC----
Nil
10000--WC1--
Version 1
10000--WC2--
Version 2
10000--WC3--
Version 3
if it is possible, can any body tell me the procedure for the same.

PCM Search document over multiple project

Hi,
Need to be able to search for document over multiple project. Search option is not available when selecting "All projects". Is there a way to do it?
Thanks,
Stephane

Unfortunately, you cannot search across multiple projects. Contract Manager will allow you to run reports across multiple projects but does not have the ability to search across multiple projects from within the application. You can contact support and have then enter this as a feature enhancement for consideration in future version of CM.

Change documents for customer Z table - serious help wanted

Hi all,
I am no beginner and I don't expect any comments from beginners.
Situation: My customer wants to replace the material valuation transactions MRN1 MRN2 MRN3 due to bad performance and locking problems with own developed programs.
The valuation results will be stored in a customer Z-Table on a monthly base. For auditing and transparency purposes, this Z-table has to get a change object and the update routines will have to write change documents.
Due to the expected size of the new Z-table, it is not advisable to simply switsch on table logging.
In this huge project (and in none I participated!) nobody ever implemented the change document process for a Z-table. <b>BUT EVERYBODY CAN TELL YOU THI IS NO PROBLEM AT ALL.</b>
I read some documentation at SAP and serached for threads or blogs here. I could not find anything desribing that in depth.
So before I start, I'd be happy to get some hints from people who created own change documents and implemented the process. Links to documentation and other helpful pages are also welcome.
If I can keep the process simple, I'd like to create a BLOG on this - because I think, in the future it will get more and more difficult to pass the auditing process with undocumented features and uncontrolled table changes.
TIA.

Clemens

Hi,

Multiple projects assignment not available in RfC

We are using SAP Solution Manager 7.1 SP11. We are using ChaRM and creating change documents with the transaction ZMCR. We are using multiple projects with different systems. We have the following situation:
M_ERP_0002 (maintenance project of ECC+BW+PI+TM)
•    Development - Test - Acceptance - Production (ECC)
•    Development - Test - Acceptance - Production (BW)
•    Development - Test - Acceptance - Production (PI)
•    Development - Test - Acceptance - Production (TM)
M_SUP_0001 (maintenance project for Solution Manager)
•    Dev - Test - Prod
Now we have an RfC which is valid for the whole landscape. This means on all systems the change must be done. For example SAP security Notes. We create an RfC which is approved by some people and in the impact analysis it is said the change is necessary for all systems.
But the problem is that we can choose only one project in an RfC. For example we choose M_ERP_0002 and fill in all systems in the request for change scope.
Now we want to create the Normal Change for the M_SUP_0001. But when we look at available projects, we see only the M_ERP_0002. We are missing now the M_SUP_0001, so we can not create a Change for all systems on one RfC.
Summarizing: We want to use one RfC (with all required approvals) and create the changes for all the systems (eq multiple projects) , so we don’t have to go trough the complete approval process again for the systems under a different project. We want an RfC and not multiple to do the same change on multiple systems.
Are there more SAP users with the same situation and how I have to solve this?

Hi Richard,
It is more like the business requirement and then design of change management you want to use.
Therefore, it is not mandatory to have one project but easier to use that way again w.r.t business requirements etc
You still can have multiple project and can go ahead with your requirements but then you need to adapt the various Import strategy as mentioned in the document like
Status dependent import
Selective import on status or combination etc
Again if you ended up in more complex criteria where it can't be achieved without any config then definitely need to go for development but avoid as much as you can otherwise it will be big impact during upgrade.

Problem while creating change document

hi all
i am creating change document for master data like project type , project applicant
but i am unable to complete it as i am very new to ABAP
can any one give me step-by-step procedure to do the same?
I have followed the procedure given in sap Liabrary i.e.
1 - Define the change document object
2 - Check in the Dictionary, whether the data elements of the fields which are to
be logged are flagged appropriately.
3 - Generate the update.
4 - Program the appropriate calls in your program.
But then i got stucked on point 4...what exactly I need to do in that?
Regards
Sheetal

Hi,
The table you have used is having the key which comprises both MANDT and ID. However, while writing the code you must have used only the ID. The system takes MANDT and ID both as the key fields.
This may be the reason of the error you are encountering.
Thanks,
Jyoti

ChaRM Scenario: Workbench and Customizing CR in the same Change Document

We use the ChaRM scenario of Solution Manager 3.2 to manage the transport request for the R/3 landscape.
We have two different project with two different landscape:
- the first one is used for customizing purpose ED1/010 - EQ1/010 - EP1/010
- the second one is for workbench purpose ED1/011 - EQ1/010 - EP1/010
We usually assign a Change Request each Change Document.
Assigning the Change Document to a maintenance cycle (owned by a SolMan Project) to assigne the CD/CR to the right source client.
Sometime we need to create a Change Document that contains two CR one for customizing purpose the other one for workbench purpose.
Is this possible using ChaRM standard features ?
Regards,
Giampaolo

Hi Martin,
Solmaniacs' assumptions are correct. You can have as many source clients as you want.
As long as
- STMS configuration (transport routes, and domain links) are consistent
- SMSY configuration (logical components are declared properly with assigning the right role types to systems/clients)
- Project declaration are done correctly (so that from Solman solar_project_admin you can read the STMS as confiured in the distant STMS domain)
- IMPORTANT: those configuration GO ALONG with each other !! (SMSY should nt contradict STMS for example...)
The tasklist that is generated for each Solman project will be as follow
- Node 1: Header Tasks (commun to all systems)
- Node x: Corresponding to track x declared in Project (each Source System will have his own node with the corresponding track under)
- Node x+1
- Node ...
- Last Node : Tasks for Tasklist closure - checks on scma consistancy and CTS projects closure
So you'll always have n+2 nodes in your tasklist; n beeing the number of declared source (=dev) systems in project
For each action launched from change docuemnts like creation of TR, release of TR or Retrofit (as Solmaniac said) you'll have an additional pop-up that will appears letting you choose the system you want to use for the action
Hope its helpful
Regards
Khalil

Call FM of Change Document

Hi experts,
I have created a Change Document Object for about 5 tables including 2 Z-tables.
Before I record the changes, one of the tables may have different kinds of changes.
For example, some of the entries are inserted, some are updated, and others maybe deleted. Now my question is that how can I recode all these changes which belong to different kinds in one go by calling the FM generated automatically after creating the Change Document Object? Because there are some other tables whose changes also need to be recorded, I can not call the FM several times. Does any1 have some ideas about this?
Thanks in advance. Points will be rewarded.
Vincent

Hi Danijela,
You can use FM IQAPI_WORD_WRAP to split your text across multiple lines.

Mass download of documents attached to change documents

Hi to all,
we've been using ChaRM in Solution Manager for more than 6 months on my project and we've added a lot of documents (word and excel files) in change documents (SDMI, SDHF). I wonder if there is a way to download all files from the change documents programmatically or if a transaction codes exists for that.
Best regards,
Stéphane.

Hi Roel,
Thanks for your reply. I was afraid the answer is no...
As far as I know, documents attached to change documents are not accessible through SI80 (I didn't managed to find them). So i'm trying to create my own report to download documents from chosen solman transaction. Since i'm not an abap expert and Solution manager code is a little bit complex for me that could take time... I will let you know when/if I succeed.
If anyone else has an answer to that question...
Best regards,
Stéphane.

Not able to release normal change document for development

Hello All
We have Implemented ChaRM in SolMan 7.1 SP10
Have created the Project and activated Charm with required DEV/QA/PRD logical component and before creating the Maintenance cycle, we did a check in the project which showed all green..
We are able to create a request for Change and go till the approval, when we try to change the status to release for development, it is throwing the below error and not letting us go further.
We have checked the MC phase, and it is in phase Dev with release.
Project is in IN PROCESS state.
IBASE and Component details are correct.
Tried to put back to Validation and re tried for Development and this did not work.
Until unless change document created successfully, we cannot go ahead even though MC phase is in DEV with release.
I have seen few blogs and I have checked below steps
system roles in SMSY
Landscape system info
Changed MC phase to DEV with release
Strange why it is not allowing to create change document ???
Please assist
Thanks
Sateesh.

Hello,
Three consistency checks are performed when you choose action "release for development" (resulting in the SMCR's status "being implemented"):
PROJECT_ASSIGNED: Project is Assigned
SYSTEM_EXIST: System assigned to collective change request
FOLLOW_ON_GEN_OK: Change Documents Can be Created
In case any of these checks fails, the SMCR's status returns to "approved".
These same consistency check are also checked when the SMCR status is set to "approved". The behavior for a failed check, however, is different in this case. Just a warning message is shown on the top of the screen and the "approved" status can be set.
Question 1: When you set the SMCR to "approved", those warnings are shown too?
Perhaps there is something wrong with the assigned project.
Check if the assigned logical component has the correct systems/clients.
Check if the transport tracks between the systems listed in the logical component are working.
Question 2: When you assign the scope (change type, in your case, Normal Change), some system data from the production system defined in the logical component are automatically filled (System, Client, Configuration Item, etc). Is this happening?

Daniel
