Context

You have already made a comparison and adjusted the Customizing objects according to the comparison results. You can now change the processing status of the customizing objects in the existing comparison, for example from Open to In Process. You can also make a new comparison.

Procedure


  1. In customizing project processing or customizing project administration, choose Start of the navigation path Tools Next navigation step Customizing Objects Next navigation step Cross-System Viewer End of the navigation path in the SAP menu.

    or choose Start of the navigation path Tools Next navigation step Customizing Next navigation step Customizing Cross-System Viewer End of the navigation path in the SAP menu.

  2. Enter a comparison ID in the Existing Comparisons group box, or choose one from the possible entries help.

    The possible entries help lists comparisons by:

    • User and/or client

    • Comparison system and/or comparison client

    • Processing status

    • Last change

  3. To change a comparison, choose Edit. To see a comparison without changing it, choose Display.

    The comparison displayed is one of:

    • Object Overview: List of objects to be compared.

      The processing status is displayed in this list, the comparison status and all other comparison fields are empty.

    • List of compared objects: List of already compared objects.

      Both the processing status and the comparison status, and the comparison result for each object are displayed in this list.

  4. You can now make the following changes:

    • To change the processing status of a customizing object, click on the processing status symbol in front of the object.

    • To compare the customizing objects again choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step New Comparison End of the navigation path or Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step New Comparison in the Background End of the navigation path.

    • To copy settings in the comparison client into the logon client, choose Start of the navigation path Edit Next navigation step Interactive Copy End of the navigation path.

      Caution

      You can only copy customizing settings interactively for objects of type table [with text table] (S), view (V) or cluster (C), i.e. for objects which are maintained with transactions SM30 or SM34. The comparison client table settings are copied directly into the tables of the logon client. No checks are made. This function should only be used by experienced users.

Results

You have changed a comparison.

Caution

The system recalculates the processing status in each new comparison. The status of all objects which are found to be identical in the two logical systems in a new comparison, is set to Completed. If you have changed the processing status manually, the system overwrites it in a new comparison.
