Preparing to Run Transaction SPDD (SAP Library - Changing the SAP Standard (BC))

Preparing to Run Transaction SPDD

During the adjustment of ABAP Dictionary objects, the ABAP Workbench already has the new release (however, not the applications).

Before you begin adjustment, set the system change option for the SAP System to "modifiable" for all namespaces:

Start transaction SE03 as user DDIC and choose Administration ® Set system change option ® Global setting...
Select Modifiable in the Global setting dialog box.

Choose Continue.

Choose Edit ® Select all.

Save your entries.

Then log on as a normal user, since user DDIC may not perform any repairs.

When you make adjustments keep the following in mind:

Work under your normal user name and not as user DDIC.
Whenever an object is modified, a request query dialog box appears asking you to specify the change request where modifications should be recorded. For the first object you modify, create a new change request with the function Create request.

You should use the same request for all further changes you make in connection with SPDD.

Store your work in the ABAP Dictionary (SE11) but do not activate any objects. Activation is carried out automatically after the adjustment.

For the adjustment of future Release upgrades or other SAP Systems (such as production systems), it is important to observe the following. Create exactly one request in the Workbench Organizer for all corrections carried out in connection with transaction SPDD. For further information read the sections Adjusting Other SAP Systems and Handling Change Requests During Adjustment.
