Tracking Change Management in P6

caveat: We don't use Contract Manager / Expedition<br
/>
We do use Timesheets for time entry and
status of activities
Ok, in P6 we
are trying to track change management. Maybe not the full
workflow that passes from individual to individual. We are
looking at two ways to track that the Project Manager is
doing his job.
First, we may use
steps. The project control specialist would get
communication from the PM and the PCS would then enter a
step with info provided by the PM. At completion the PM
would acknowledge that the change management process has
been completed via timesheets (check it complete)<br
/>
Or we may use Issues. Same idea as above
but I believe with issues we could take advantage of the
"discuss" button in the client and track history. Pitfall
- MyPrimavera does not show the history. <br
/>
Anyone else trying to track a
Plan-Do-Check-Act type of event?
<br
/>Thanks,
Patrick

Hi Cherry,
what about your TMS configuration. Did you switched to extended transport control and modified your transport landscape to transport groups?
Please check your project with: /n/tmwflow/charmchk.  The result could be helpful for error analysis concerning wrong tms configuration.
kind regards
Rayko

  • Report to track changes to infotypes prior to running the  payroll interfac

    wants a report to track changes to infotypes prior to running the  payroll interface.  The attached report looks like it should work but it returns nothing.  Is there config that turns on "Track Changes": for select infotypes?  If so, can they be activated for key infotypes so this report will run?
    Name, Address, position, etc.
    Not attendance and absence ITs.

    Hi,
    IMG – Personnel Management – Personnel Admin – Tools – Revision – Set up change document:
    This node has three items:
    Infotypes to be logged
    Field Group Definitions
    Field Group Characteristics
    Using these three options you define which infotypes you wish to log, then which fields, then you define which groups of fields are to be saved. Click each link, or see the sections below:
    Infotypes to be logged
    Here you define which PA infotype numbers you require logging. Select New Entries and enter a transaction class (A for Pers Admin, B for recruitment), then enter the infotype number and save.
    Field Group Definition
    When changes are made to a logged infotype, the field contents before and after are recorded. This is the very reason for logging the infotype, but there is an overhead in performance and disk space used so it needs to be given consideration. Typically you will want to record fields that are pay relevant.
    Using the field group definition, you specify which fields you wish to record changes in. When any of the fields in the group are changed, all the fields in the group are saved. You can use an asterisk to log all the fields of the infotype but this is not recommended for space and performance, also there are many fields on an infotype that you will not be using, that will be saved also. Ideally you will pick individual fields of the infotype and enter them like so:
    The field group number is a freely defined number you allocate to the group, it will be used in the next step. For normal use, simply pick any number not already used in that infotype. All fields with the same field group number are recorded in the log, even if they have not changed.
    Click New Entries and enter the infotype number, field group number and field names that you wish to record.
    Field Group Characteristics
    When you have set up the field group numbers, use the field group characteristics to activate the logging of those fields. You can also specify a supplementary field group; this means that the contents of another field group can also be saved at the same time, even though the contents have not changed. In practise it is not used much. Simply select new entries, enter the transaction class, infotype, and in the DocFieldGr enter the number you assigned to the field names that you want to store, then enter L for Long Term Documents (short are not supported)
    The Audit Report
    To access the report showing the logged infotype changes, use the HR report tree available from various menu paths, including:
    Main Menu – Human Resources – Pers Management – Administration – Info System – Reports - Documents – Infotype change – logged changes in infotype data. (RPUAUD00).
    When you run the report, select the infotypes you require, and select and execute.
    Cheers

  • How to track changes on Infoprovider?

    Hi Gurus,
    Could you please provide the steps of how to track changes on Infoprovider? I had 4 Infocubes (belonging to the same info area) that contains compressed data - but now when I tried to display the data, all the cube are empty - no data were aechived.
    I would like to track any actions that were made on those cubes.
    Thanks

    thanks Kumar for helping me out here
    I tried RSD_CUBE_LOG_DELE function module - It came out "no logs found in the database"
    I tried tables RSDRDLOGHEADER and RSDDSTATDELE which provide me deletion informations like user name... but since we have partially archived those specific infoproviders in the same period of time where I think eveything was gone from cube, I am not able to related when and who the data that were not archived were deleted from Infocube
    Under manage Infocube --> archiving tab, all the created archiving request are only for certain dates (below 2006). I know that we had data above 2006.
    Kindly provide additional inputs.
    Thanks

  • How to track changes in an ABAP program

    Hi,
    I have a program being changed by 3 people one after another !! I want to know what were the changes made by each of the them !! Just like tracking the changes in a CVS !!
    How to do that in ABAP workbench ??
    thanks

    Are they making the changes under a same CR? If so there is actually no way to track the changes made by individual user, unless they put some comments. In such a case, the other option is to have individual users generate a version after completing their changes (but ensuring that no other user makes a change at the same time by using editor lock and releasing the editor lock after generating a version).. Once the version is generated, u can use change management
    If the changes are made under different CR, then you can use version management as suggested by Rich.

  • How to track changes in a hyperion application for SOX control?

    Hello all,
    We have been working on identifying the best way on how to track changes in a hyperion application in regards to the SOX control.
    The following areas have been identified as the main areas of an application where the changes are to be tracked:
    Monthly data load from ODI
    Calculation of data
    Metadats change
    Formula edit
    Changes to reports
    Changes to security
    Can anybody please suggest the best ways to do this? Has anyone experienced this issue before?
    Somebody suggested that there is hyperion auditing available.
    Is there any other software that is available that can do this or just documenting the changes would be the best option?
    Please suggest. Toyr response would be appreciated.
    Thanks.

  • Track changes in Adobe Reader 8

    I've created a form in Livecycle.  Our company has Adobe Reader 8 installed on the network.  I'd like to be able to track changes, like in Microsoft Word, on the pdf form when it is emailed to another user so if changes are made, I can see what changes were made.  Again, the user receiving the pdf would be opening the form in Reader 8.  We love pdf over Microsoft Word because it is such a versatile product and easier to use for most of our users than Microsoft Word.  It has provided us with so many more options for retrieving information in a much more easy to use format.

    For Reader 8, the add-in for IE is AcroIEHelperShim.dll - this can be easily checked in IE7+ by going to Tools, Manage Add-ons, Enable or disable add-ons

  • Help required in OCM-Order change management

    Hi All,
    I have to implement the Order change managment. I did few setting which are required and than i created ECR using release key. but using OCM it tells me to first make the changes in MATERIAL BOM than using transaction COCM i can make the changes in required production order.
    But my requirement is i want to change the Production BOM or Production routing directly without touching Material BOM .
    As sometime it happens only 1 or 2 Order BOM s are need to be changed only not the Material bom. So i want to track the Changes made in Order using OCM.
    What is the solution that i can change the Production Bom OR Production Routing directly using OCM and also how can i make the changes in Sales Order.
    Pls do the needful.
    Thanks
    Ravi Khurana

    Using Order Change Management (change management for production orders), it is possible to include existing procurement elements (production orders, planned orders, purchase orders) that are also affected by a change, in the change process.
    The change process in OCM is based on Initiating Objects. These initiating object records refer to changes in sales orders or in master data, which, in turn, necessitate changes to production orders.
    Thus, it is not possible to change the order directly using OCM.

  • BPM - Change Management

    Hello all guys
    I am working on a document in which i need information about the process of change management for oracle bpm (for example versioning of projects and so on).
    I have already the document for deploying in which is the information for versioning projects and deploying...
    Does anyone know where i could get information related to change management for bpm enterprise???
    I've been searching on oracle university and the web in general but i can't find any information.
    Any information provided is really helpfull
    Thanks in advance guys :)

    Hi Srikanth,
    It's a good question and I hope this helps.
    My short answer is that "it depends...".
    Yes, an Oracle BPM process will let your users enter the change required, assign priority, define the change approvals, and send automatically send emails to managers.
    Not saying that this is the case here, but sometimes people confuse an application with what BPM does with a process.  Ask yourself if your candidate process for BPM has one or more of these characteristics:
    Workflow - are there multiple people involved in the editing and approvals over some period of time?
    Documentation - as work flows through the process, will you need to gather requirements / documents and associate these with the instance?
    Seamless integration - are there systems and or databases involved that you need to integrate into the process?
    Efficiency - do you want to ensure that your process continues to flow and escalates when a work item sits too long in someone's queue?
    Governance - do you need to have an audit trail of the various people who were involved as a work item instance (a change approval in your case) flowed through the process?
    Compliance - do you need to have the change management instances go through a process in a consistent and well documented manner?
    Visibility - do you need to gather key performance indicators as instances flow through the process and do managers need to track these in business activity monitoring reports?
    Hope this helps,

  • BPM and Change Management Process

    Hi,
    We have a requirement to automate the change management process. Typical functionality needed is - input the change required, assign priority, organise risk assessment, change approvals, change implementation, send automatic emails to managers etc.

  • Production Order Change Management

    Hi ALL,
    Dealy need of following.
    How the changes to the production order can be viewed?
    Is there any tcode to check this ?
    Regards,
    MHP

    Dear Manish,
    In a standard system it is not possible to track the changes made to a production order.
    However, this can acheived in following ways.
    1.We can develop a custom made report to track changes made to an order.Please check this with your ABAPer.
    The overview of a report will be such that one can analyse the items added,deleted,new items inserted etc.
    2.We will be able to achieve this by order change management.Refer the following link.

  • Configuration change management for SBO !?!?

    Hi friends,
    Is there any "Change Management" tool or feature which could help to keep track of the changes made in the SBO configuration ?
    I was wondering that if we could have all the configuration data in plain text, we could keep trak of the changes in the configuration by just diffing the file against the previous baseline.
    Does any of you know whether it´s possible ? Or even have an on idea how to do this ?
    Thanks in advance,
    Paulo Garcia

    Hi Paulo,
    SBO does track changes to some configuration data. You can find this in the AADM table (which is the history log of the OADM table). This covers a lot of what's in the General Settings and Company Details windows. You can access the change log and see the previous setttings by choosing Tools--Show History from the top menu.
    Alternatively, you could maybe use Copy Express to export configuration data in to an XML file. I'm not sure how user-friendly that would be in terms of easily seeing the differences.
    Kind Regards,

  • OWB Change Management/Version Control Best Practice

    Hi
    I am about to start developing a data warehouse using OWB 10g R2, and I've been doing quite a lot of research into the various deployment/change management/version control techniques that can be used, but am still unsure which is the best to use.
    We will have 2-3 developers working on the project, and will be deploying from Development, to Test, to Production (each will have a separate repository). We want to be able to easily identify changes made between 1 release and the next to have a greater degree of control and awareness of what goes into each release. We also wish to use a source control system to track changes (we'll probably use SVN, but I don't think that the actual SCS tool makes a big difference to our decision at this point).
    The options available (that I'm aware of), are:
    1. Full MDL export/import.
    2. Snapshot MDL export/import.
    3. Manual coding of everything using OMB Plus.
    I am loath to use the full MDL export/import functionality since it will be difficult, if not impossible, to identify easily the changes made between 1 release and the next.
    The snapshot MDL export/import functionality is a little better at comparing releases, but it's still difficult to see exactly what has changed between 1 version and the next - particularly when a change to a transformation has been made. It also doesn't cope that well with tracking individually made changes to different components of the model.
    The manual coding using OMB Plus seems like the best option at the moment, though I keep thinking "What's the point of using a GUI tool, if I'm just going to code everything in scripts anyway?".
    I know that you can create OMB Plus code generation scripts to create your 'creation' scripts, but the code generation of the Alteration scripts seems that it would be more complicated than just writing the Alteration scripts manually.
    Any thoughts anyone out there has would be much appreciated.
    Thanks
    Liffey

    Well, you can also do per-object MDL exports and then manage those in your version control system. With a proper directory structure it would be fairly simple to code an OMB+ Script that scans a release directory tree and imports the objects one by one. I have done this before, although if you are using OWB as the primary metadata location for database objects then you have to come up with some way to manage object dependency order issues.
    The nice thing about this sort of system is that a patch can be easily shipped with only those objects that need to be updated.
    And if you force developers to put object-level MDL into your version control system then your system should also have pretty reporting on what objects were changed for a release and why.
    At my current job we do full exports of the project MDL and have a deployment script that drops the pre-existing deployed version of the project before importing and deploying the new version, which also works quite well - although as you note the tracking of what has changed in a release then needs to be carefully managed elsewhere. But we don't deploy any of our physical database objects through OWB. Those are deployed from Designer, and our patch script applies all physical changes first before we replace the mappings from the OWB project. We don't even bother synching the project metadata for tables / views / etc. at deployment. If the OWB project's metadata for database objects is not in sync with Designer, then we wind up with deployment errors. But on the whole it works pretty well.
