On the Downgrade Protection tab, you can display information related to potential downgrades and conflicts.

Prerequisites

The system has performed a downgrade check. Downgrade checks are performed automatically by the system, but you can also trigger a check manually from the Project Overview or from the Changes tab.

Features

  • Whenever the system finds conflicts related to downgrade protection, the conflict types are displayed showing the criticality of a conflict. The following conflict types are possible:

    • Downgrade warning

      When exporting transports (changes), you are notified of identical objects that have not been imported into the productive system yet.

    • Imminent downgrade

      When importing transports (changes), you are notified of identical objects that have been released later and have already been imported.

    • Overtaker warning

      When importing transports (changes), you are notified of identical objects that have been released earlier, but have not been imported yet.

    Note Note

    In Customizing, you can assign a conflict type to a check type. For each check type, you can configure the conflict criticality.

    Example: If you set the conflict type for the release check to “Warning”, the system displays a conflict that is found when releasing a transport request as a warning.

    End of the note.
  • The status of the conflict is displayed. “Open” means that the conflict has not been handled yet. When you explicitly ignored a conflict, the status changes to “Ignored”.

  • You can display details for each conflict. On the detail screen, you find more information on the conflict, for example, on the source transport and the objects involved.

  • You can ignore check results one by one by choosing Ignore. You can also ignore several check results at the same time by selecting the relevant ones.

  • On the Changes tab, you can trigger a downgrade check manually for the change and thus recheck it. Choose Refresh to display the check results.
