Version management in BSP

Hi All,
I have done modifications to a standard BSP application HCM_LEARNING. We have upgraded the support pack from SP7 to SP13 for backend ECC 5.0. How do I check whether there are any changes done to the standard BSP application upon upgradation. One option is to try using 'Version Management' where I check all the pages for any changes, but this is too tedious. Is there any shorter approach than this. Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Tom

Hi,
It is in general not a good idea to alter standard SAP applications. It'll generate SPAU when you implement an update. That is btw one of the methods to know what is changed. Another one is to download the app and the update app via things mentioned in https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/servlet/prt/portal/prtroot/com.sap.km.cm.docs/library/abap/bsp/finding%20your%20code%20in%20bsp%20applications.article and compare them via external tools.

  • Version management for SAP Screens?

    Hi,
    I need to do version comparison  for sap screens .
    My source system is R/3 4.7 & Target system is ECC 6.0.

    For front end SAPUI5 CODE in Elipse or RIVER RDE you can use GIT which is pretty standard way of doing code management. Once you push the code to GW it is in BSP and then you dont have much control on the version management side. If there are multiple developers working on front end code then you can push to GW using ABAP Team Provider plugin in Eclipse that pushes the sapui5 code to BSP via workbench request and once 1 developer is done then he/she will submit the code. the next person then does the GET from GW into their Eclipse to get the latest version of source code. But if there are 10 changes to the sapui5 code then on front end side you should use GIT or BitBucket or MS Team Share kind of source code control tools that integrate with ECLIPSE.
    For oData Service you can do version management in ABAP stacks. you can have multiple versions for your service and then deploy to prod the one that you are sure of. Std change management can be used for backend GW service development.
    thanks

  • Version management issue

    I am two issues with Version Management in PR and POs:
    - New version can only be added onces the PR or PO is release by final authority. Below is the scenario:
    I have created a PR and have it release by the two approving authorities. Now I want make changes in the PR. I have it cancelled from the both approving authorities and make the required changes. Now logically the system should allow the initiator to add the new version so that requisition so that the approving authrities must know that the second version of requisition is being released. But the system doez not let the initiator add the version prior to release. Do we have any solution to this?
    - second issue is that once the second version is added in the PR and we need to make some more changes and create a thrid version, system doznot let user to revoke the release.

    Dear ABC,
    For your issue 1, please check if version already set to completed and an message output already sent to vendor.
    This is the prerequisites for the new version to be created. A new version will only be created when the information
    had sent to vendor.

  • Issue in PO Version Management

    We have recently configured release strategy for PO in SAP.
    Now there is issue with Version management.
    Consider X and Y are users responsible for Purchasing activities.
    Scenario prior to Release Strategy Configuration:
    If X has created PO and if it is transferred to Y for some changes, Y used to manually genrate version(Using + button on Version Tab in PO) and used to make changes in PO. i.e. X and Y both were able to genrate version.
    Scenario after Release Strategy Configuration:
    If X has created PO and if it is transferred to Y for some changes, Y is not able to genrate version as + button on version tab is deactivated  but able to make changes in PO. i.e. X  is able to genrate version.
    Client wants it as per earlier scenario. i.e. Both X and Y shud be able o generate version manually.
    Is thare any authorization issue? or it got affetcted because of Release strategy cinfiguaration.....? How to resolve this?

    Hi
    New Versions of Purchasing Documents
    The system always creates a new version when the purchasing document has reached a final state. This means one of the following processing states:
    Active
    If you do not use the document release functionality
    Release completed
    If you use the document release functionality
    For a new version of a purchasing document to be created, all messages must have also been transmitted.
    No new versions are generated for purchase orders that are on hold or not fully released.
    Hope it helps

  • Can JWS be used as a multiple Java version management tool?

    WinNT4 WKS with JRE 1.3.1 - 1.4.2 loaded on it using IExplorer or Netscape.
    We don't have a need for the JWS download features because our clients (and their applications) remain static for the most part. However, we do require multiple JRE version support because our customers have written class/objet "fixes" (mostly for text rendering) and these fixes break if you try and run the application on a different version of Java from which it was written. Basically, we can't have a default JRE on each machine and hope that it will work with all customer applications. So we will load all necessary Java components on our workstations (in this case JRE versions 1.3.1 - 1.4.2). I know that browsers can be forced to load with a specific Plug-in version (providing it exists on the machine) through Object & Embed tags in the HTML and that standalone apps can be directed to the correct Java directory path. My question is, can JWS automatically identify the Java requirements of our customers applications and act simply as a multi-version management tool to provide the right JRE/Plug-In for either standalone or browser applications? Keeping in mind that all the JREs will be loaded on the workstions and it won't need to download any components from some site.
    I've noticed that JWS identifies all JREs loaded on a machine in the Java tab so I'm wondering if it can "switch" the environment as needed for each application.
    Does anyone know if I can use JWS in the scenario I described above? Thanks!

    JWS can manage the multiple JREs installed if you run the application through a .jnlp. This can not "switch" the default JRE. It runs the application specified in the .jnlp using the requested version specified in the .jnlp.
    JWS does not apply to applets. You should use the object tags as you mentioned below.
    ...can JWS automatically identify the Java requirements of our customers applications
    No. You must determine this and setup the .jnlp appropriately.

  • Version Management with Analysis workbooks? Doesn't save workbooks in BW Netweaver platform or BO Platform

    SAP BusinessObjects Analysis, Edition for Microsoft Office -     1.4 SP6
    SAP BusinessObjects BI Platform - 4.1 SP2
    BW 7.3
    SAP Logon pad - 7300.1.0.1074
    We are trying to implement What-if analysis in Analysis Office tool like Revenue increase by N percentages. Excel formula applied for this in the adjacent column to keyfigures that is coming from BEx Query.
    Here, I need to save the Workbooks in versions as V1, V2, V3, etc., for various percentages.
    When I try to save this in BO platform, only the version V1 (first copy) is getting saved. But, the modified workbook is not getting saved with different name as V2 or V3, etc.,
    When I try to save this Netweaver platform, even the first copy V1 is not getting saved. But it displays different versions in the save window before closing the Analysis Office application.
    Please provide information on VERSION MANAGEMENT with Analysis Office.
    Note: I see a difference in 'Open' and 'Save' window that is Roles are not visible in the 'Open Workbook' window but Roles are  visible in 'Save Workbook' window.

  • Version Management

    Dear Sirs,
    We have activated version management for purchase orders. 
    Purchase Orders are made in the system and printout of the same are being taken from the print preview screen before the release of the PO.
    If some changes are made in the PO after the release of the PO, the sytem does not activate the version management.  Reason: no messages were issued after the release of PO. 
    Is it possible that when a print out is taken, the system automatically processes the output message, whether the PO is released or not.
    Viral Bhinde

    Hi Viral,
    I got ur problem.
    As you said when you make changes to PO system set new release strategy as well as new version. It is expected that whenever there are changes in PO it should be communicatted to Vendor thru PO print.
    In your case ur PO created new version as well as new release strategy. And you tried to take print before PO release. Please first release the PO and take print thru ME9F. That message will disappear.
    Plz let us know if there is further problem.
    Thanks
    Nilesh

    Field nameMENGE(Quantity),TableMEPO1211
    For Header level fields:
    Field nameZTERM(payment terms field),,TableMEPO1226
    Category--A or B for selection of change documents
    No out put--if i tick it concern field will not included in change doc
    Version--what is the purpose
    Please suggest me
    1) we need enter the all the field names in the item over view and item details and Header level fields as given above ,is it correct.
    2) And with regard to Table, do i enter for Header level fields-EKKO or  MEPO1226 which is available in F1 under techinical information,
    for item level fields,shall i enter table name-EKPO or MEPO1211as dispalyed in the F1 under techinical information.

    4) All these fields and data is to be entered for every document type NB and ZCO.
    5) After changes are made in Purchase order,first time on saving the PO,version is creating automatically,
    second time,if we do changes, version is not creating on saving the purchase order,what configuration needs to be done.
    Please suggest.
    Regards,
    Magana

    Also tell me the use of *Display of change documents in PO*.
    It will display changes made both in item & header.It will help you to audit all changes made in p.o after it is raised.
    In version management not all changes can be ameneded as seperate versions
    only critical changes like price revision,quantity revision.

    Data output category
        Indicates the data output category to which the relevant field belongs.
    Use
        You can assign a character to related fields. You can then use this
        character to select the fields in the application.
        Note
        SAP recommends you use only the folloiwng characters: a-z, A-Z, 0-9.
    Example
        You wish to obtain a quick and straightforward overview of changes
        involving the material, order quantity, and price. This information is
        particularly important to you. You therefore assign the character A to
        these fields.
    Indicator: no output
        Indicates whether the field is included in the display of changes.
    Use
        If this indicator is selected, the corresponding field is not included
        in the display of change documents.
    Example
        You have selected the indicator for the Requester field. The content of
        this field is then changed in the purchase requisition.
        Result
        The changed field is not included among the changes that are displayed.
    Indicator: No output in case of versions and buyer approval
        Specifies whether or not the field is to be included in the display of
        changes for a version.
    Use
        If this indicator is selected, the relevant field will not be included
        in the display of changes that you can invoke via @II@ on the Versions
        tab page.

  • Version managment in purchase order's

    Hi,
    I am working on version management. I have configured it in the system but i have problem which is as below:-
    Suppose i create a PO the system gives it version 0.Now i do various other changes and say create 2 more versions say ver 1 and ver 2.Now if i want to take the print of the original PO i.e ver 0 it still gives the print as in ver 2 which has all the changes instead of the original PO.Can u please explain why this is happening and the solutions.
    regards,
    Akshay

    HI GUYS,
    here's the scene in detail.
    I make a PO with 1 item and qty 10,now when i save this version 0 is created.
    Now i make changes in the PO say change the qty from 10 to 20, now version 1 is created. Now if i have to to the print of version 0, the print contains the changes which were made in version 1 i.e qty 20 instead of actual 10.
    Does this mean that once a version is created the print of older version can't be taken without the changes that were made in the new version??
