Version management in smartforms

Hi all
I am not finding the version management in Smartform. Please advice where to find it.
Thanks
Ravindra Suvarna

Hi,
You can do it with basis help . This is true for any object not having version management. Changes are always recorded in transports .
Find one of your old transports in SE03 . ( Find Objects for request ) . Object will be R3TR SSFO <SF_NAME>.
Ask your basis guy to force import it , it will overwrite the current version . Or just copy existing Samrtform to a new name ( delete the current one ) and then ask basis to retrieve the old transport .

Version management in smart forms

Hi Experts,

Thanks & Regards,
Kubera.

Hi,
There is no version management in smartforms as such, infact it is non existent...but in case ur requirement is to save a copy of the form u can download the smartform on your system and later upload it if required or create a backup copy of the existing form under a different name in your development system until the new version is working reliably in Production;
Thanks

Version Management of Smart Form

Hi everyone,
Where is the Version Management of SmartForm manitained??
While making some changes in a smartform, I have inadvertently deleted some nodes in a smartform and saved & activated it. The deleted node has several subnodes.
So instead of writing again all these, I want to revert back to original.
Can anyone help me ??!!
Advance Thanks

HI,
Before doing any changes to the SMARTFORM, Download it <b>(Utilities --> Download from)</b>, and save it to the Local disk, if you want the chanes revert back, then upload the form <b>(Utilities --> Upload)</b>.
if you not Downloaded the form and done any changes and activate the form then you can not revert back to that..
if it is very critical, then ask your Basis people, they will take the Backups in a Daily basis, if they are doing the Backups to that Client, then you can get the same, but that is a huge Process

Version Management in SAMRTFORMS???

Hi Experts,
As like in SE38 Report Prog.s, Do we have the Version Management feature in SMARTFORMS?
Am enhanced my_smartform and Transported to TEST system.
But, bcoz of some reason, I wanna retrieve the Version, which is existing, before am editing it(my_smartform)!
Any clue? Any alternative?
Thanq.

Hi Srikhar,
In case of SAPscripts and the smartforms there is no version management like reports.
As you already transported the changed form to the test system so it has overwritten the earlier changes so you can't retrieve it back.

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.

ian, Wong Loke Foong

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.
Thanks,
Jeni.

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

Doc type-- ZCO,NB
For item view fields:
Field nameEMATN(material),TableMEPO1211--material field in Item over view
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.
3) I need to enter all the fields existing in the purchase order
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??
