Version management of design objects in XI, rollBack

hi experts,
Is there a way of managing version control of design object in XI,
i mean to say, can i have the the different(history) versions of design objects,
and is there any possibility to roll back a design object to a previous version,

<i>i mean to say, can i have the the different(history) versions of design objects,

>>>
goto the history tab of the object. Double click the version that you need, copy it and activate the same to achieve the roll back feature

Version Management in abap coding

Hi Expertise,
There is one report of 2000 lines, by mistake i have added few lines in middle.
That has changed functionality completely which is wrong.
I have to revert it back .
I have tried with Version Management, but that is for program.
Please help me out .
Best Regards,
Priyaranjan

Hi Priyaranjan,
Please go to version management. There you can see all versions available. Just check the desired version and click on the Retrieve button. It will discard the current changes and will return the earlier version as it is. Hope this might be helpful for you.

Version Management of ABAP program gives the wrong request number

Hi,
When i click on Utilities-->Version Management for any program it is not giving me the latest request number as the version info. My system is ECC 6.0 and the kernel level is 175. Please help.
Regards,
Sridevi

Did you do user master with variants import after your system copy in your development?
Did the program created in Production and moved to development or from dev to prod?
Which system has the latest timestamp of the transport request?
once you identified the system,which has the latest change...check if the transport has been moved to the other system.
Note:
Its a wrong practice to rebuild your development with your production.
You development has already lost all the version history and you may not get past history.
Its most like a coplicated scenarion than the traditional one.

Version Management for LSMW Objects

Hi,
I want to maintain versions for LSMW objects. How can I do it.
Regards,
Tuhin

Unfortunately, there is no tool delivered with SAP BW that provides the ability to compare objects across the landscape. There are some third-party tools that provide this functionality.
You could create your own by create an ABAP program, or several ABAP programs, using the following BAPI Function Modules to get the details of the objects in each environment and then do a comparison:
InfoCube - BAPI_CUBE_GETDETAIL
InfoObject Catalog - BAPI_IOBC_GETDETAIL
InfoObject - BAPI_IOBJ_GETDETAIL
InfoPackage - BAPI_IPAK_GETDETAIL
InfoSet - BAPI_ISET_GETDETAIL
DSO - BAPI_ODSO_GETDETAIL
MultiProvider - BAPI_MPRO_GETDETAIL

Software Configuration and Change Management for ABAP

Hi all,
we developed an ABAP application with about 10 developers and shipped it to Customer A.
Then we do corrections and enhancements for a new Customer B. But then Customer A finds bugs in his shipped version, which is not the current version on our development system.
Now a lot of time is wasted debugging the current version and finding out why the bug is there in the shipped version A but not in the current version.
So its difficult and timeconsuming to manage those different versions of the same application for different customers.
This effort increases with each new customer dramatically.
The ABAP workbench only knows linear versioning of single ABAP objects like report, function module or class.
Now the question:
Is there a standard transaction or external ABAP software that supports such a Software Configuration & Change Managment, i.e. allows tagging, branching, maintaining multiple development branches, allows running transactions and reports of older revisions, etc. like so many non-SAP/ABAP SCCMs like CVS, Bitkeeper, Subversion or Monotone do in the OpenSource world?
I found one called Conigma from Galileo Group, but am wondering if there are others, or whether there is someone having used such a tool.

Hi Frank,
In ABAP world, there is supposed to be one development environment for one production system.
The transport of changes follow the path
DEV --> QAS --> Production.
One golden rule is while making any changes to a program in Development, ensure that the version is compatible with production and QAS.
If there is a change request already open for the development object then that earlier change request should be finished first and the changes should get transported to QAS and production.
It seems you are trying to handle two production systems using one development system. That will surely bring some serious fun
Though, if you have no other option then keep the record of versions applicable to your different customers.
Later retrieve the version according to the customer before making any changes.
Cheers,
Ram

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

ABAP objects not editable

Hi friends,
I am trying to edit an ABAP object in workbench. The screen changes from "Display mode" to "Change mode". But all the fields in the object are greyed out.
I have all the required authorizations, still unable to edit.
What could be the reason? Please help.
Regards,
Surjit

Hi Surjit,
Not only SAP objects might be excluded from editing - if a customer object has a different system as source system than the one you are working at you can only make changes using the modification assistant. Check the source system in the object directory entry.

Calling inactive version of ABAP object from Java

Hello,
When I call an ABAP object from Java Program which version of ABAP object is called inactive or active ?
Is there a mechanism to call the current inactive version or any other previous inactive /active versions ?
Regards,
Tarun

Only the "active" version of ABAP code is active and runnable.
You cannot run inactive versions. Like you have to compile a .java file to a .class file o make it runnable in the JVM.

Internal lock version management : Unable to copy objects

Hi ALL
We need help with this particular problem we are facing with our ID objects....
I am unable to copy my communication channels which i was able to do it earlier without any problem...just to make it easy while developing new object...we used to make a copy and edit...instead of creating new scratch.
However, now we are facing a problem once we try activating any copied object, here is the error message we are getting...
"Version management was unable to execute the last action because a temporary internal lock has been set. Repeat the action "
This is not a user lock....we checked that, please do let us know how we can fix this ...so that we may be able to copy and activate copied object without the above error.
Your help is greatly appreciated!!
Thank you,
Partrick

Hi
Its Weird but it can happen if you copy object whose previous version is still not activated. I still think you must check with all the change lists. or bring all to PISUPER and activate them.
Oops then i think it got locked for all. Refresh the cache and even soft restart for J2EE.
I think you copy a lot
Thanks

Software Configuration Management for ABAP Development ?

Hi,
we are a software company selling a Data Capture Solution.
For this, we are currently in the process to develop an interface for transferring the extracted data into a customer's SAP R/3 system.
Since we want to develop this interface following certain software engineering principles, we are looking for a way to solve certain simple common Software Configuration Management issues, such as:
- Object Versioning (Similar to file versioning in classic software development): That means being able to:
-- Keep track WHO changed WHAT WHEN and WHY?
-- Revert to a former version of an object (e.g. when the fix of a former defect must be revoked for some reason)
-- Keep track which changes have been made for a certain Change Request (NOT meaning SAP Change Requests, but Change Request for our interface development)
- Label a certain version state as 'released' or 'tested' or whatever
- Perform a kind of 'Branching' (Classical Software Configuration Management task), e.g. when we release a version of our interface and start the development of a new version, we must open a 'Maintenance Branch' of our released version parallel to the ongoing development of the future release.
When I say 'Objects', I mean everything being concerned when developing something within R/3; that can be ABAP programs, forms, tables (structure and content(!)), etc.
We are using an SAP System version ECC 5.0 for development; as for now, we have come to the conclusion to use the versioning that comes with the Transforms, although they do not really cover the above requirements as we would like to.
Is there anybody out there who had the same idea and solved it somehow?
My impression is that in the SAP world, classical Software Configuration Management is not a part of the way of thinking; and that development for SAP R/3 has little in common with classical software development.
But maybe there is an add-on or some hidden features of NetWeaver or anything that can solve these issues.
Hope is the last to die...
Thank you very much for any feedback,
Regards,
Jörg

Thank you very much for your answers!
@Pushkar:
No this is not exactly what I meant;
What we want to do is a kind of classical configuration management or at least version control of
development objects like ABAP programs, table definitions, table data etc. that are contained within our SAP development system.
It's not about version management of external documents imported into SAP.
I know that there is a kind of version control via Transports, but this does not cover all classical version control mechanisms; what we are missing there is
- the possibility of reverting to an older version of an 'object'
- Branching / Merging mechanisms
- the possibility to choose which changes I want to release with which transform and which objects
- view differences between arbitrary versions of an object
I was hoping there is maybe a kind of 'add-on' or maybe even a built-in tool that provides classical version control mechanisms or something similar.
Thank you for further help,
Regards,
Jörg
