Integration

Note Note

The WebClient UI does not support the transaction types that were used before SAP Solution Manager 7.1, for example, SDCR and SDMJ. You can only edit change transactions that have these transaction types in SAP GUI or via the Change Management Work Center.

If you want to display the transaction types you have used before the upgrade to SAP Solution Manager 7.1 in the WebClient search, in Customizing under Start of the navigation path SAP Solution Manager Next navigation step Capabilities Next navigation step Change Control Management Next navigation step Change Request Management Framework Next navigation step Assign Implementation to Change Transaction Types End of the navigation path, choose a suitable entry in the Document Type in Search column, for example, Urgent Change or Normal Change. If this field is not maintained, you cannot search for the transaction types in the WebClient UI.

End of the note.
