Setting Up Clients (SAP Library

Setting Up Clients

In this section, you provide the clients in the test system with the standard settings available in the QM component. You can then use these basic settings to maintain the master data required for your business transactions and to test the functions in the QM component.

This function is particularly useful, if you:

Have other R/3 application components active in a client and you want to implement the QM functions retrospectively.

Want to update or add to the system settings in the current client after changing a Release.

Requirements

You have set up the client according to the general instructions.

Activities

If you did not set up the client as an exact copy of client 000, you can use the transactions listed below to copy the basic data and default settings for the QM component in client 000 of the standard system to other clients.

Caution:

No cancellations are possible with these transactions!

Entries that already exist in the target client are not overwritten.

The automatic import protection in the target client is ignored.

If the automatic correction recording is active, the system draws up a transport request in the target client that contains all copied entries (You can process category 'Copy Transport' transaction SE01). To copy this data into subsequent target systems or target clients, you only need to transport the request with its copied data entries.

The system only executes these transactions, if you have authorization in the client to create transport requests, and if the transport system is set correctly in this client.

There are the following transactions for copying basic settings:

QCCC All standard settings

With catalogs

With standard texts

Without number ranges

Without sampling systems

Without tolerance keys

Without forms

QCCP Standard settings for quality planning

QCCW Standard settings for quality inspections

QCCZ Standard settings for quality certificates

QCCM Standard settings for quality notifications With notification-related catalogs

QCCU Standard settings for the QM environment

QCCK Catalog entries; examples

QCCT (standard texts QM_*)
You must copy the standard texts used in the forms into the current client, since there is no automatic default to client 000 for these texts. There is, however, a default defined for the language in table T002C in the client.

QCCF (forms QM_*)
You do not need to copy forms into the current client, since the system automatically defaults to client 000, if the required form does not exist in the current client.

QCCS Sampling systems according to ISO 2859 and ISO 3951

QCCY Tolerance keys according to ISO 0286

QCCN (number ranges Q*)
The application programs can only be run, if the number ranges are available in the current client.
The number ranges in the standard system are set up in such a way that you can copy them for most applications, using transaction QCCN without having to change them. However, if you automatically copy number ranges from client 000 using transaction QCCN, this leads to inconsistencies, if number ranges already exist in the current client that overlap with those in the standard system. This is also why the copying of number ranges is not included in transaction QCCC. Therefore, you must first check whether non-standard number ranges have been set up in the current client and if this is the case, you must manually maintain the number ranges for:

Inspection characteristics and Inspection methods

Control charts

Inspection plans and reference operation sets

Inspection lots

Physical samples and physical-sample drawing

Condition records for certificate profile determination

Characteristic confirmation numbers

Quality notifications

You must pay particular attention both when grouping notification types and assigning these groups to the number ranges manually and when copying from the standard client. See

text reference and note number 52390 in the note database.

Technical note: to improve the response times, the standard system is set up so that it stores a certain number interval when numbers are allocated internally. The numbers contained in the buffer are lost when the application program is terminated. You can define the scope of the number range buffers using transaction SNRO.

Further Notes

Update instead of Insert: If you want to overwrite the existing settings in the current client with the standard settings from client 000, (instead of supplementing them) you can use the method mentioned in the transactions above. These transactions process prepared command files with the help of transaction SM29. To carry out an update instead of an insert, use the transaction SCC1 (in place of SM29) or the report RSCLCCOP together with the command files stored in the transactions mentioned above. The system, however, does not record this process in a transport request, as in transaction SM29. You can display the copy's log with transaction SCC3 or report RSCCPROT.

Transport to Other Clients or Systems:

Customizing tables
All Customzing tables in the QM component have an automatic transport link.

Transporting master data of QM component
See note 61049 in note database
We recommend that you maintain master data in the target system, instead of transporing it.

Transporting SAPscript objects
See note 3355 in note database
