In change transactions, you can assign structure elements from projects and solutions, or change existing assignments.

Prerequisites

To be able to check-in and check-out objects for solutions directly from the change request to the maintenance project, you have activated the Activate Solution Structure Element Check-Out-/Check-In setting on the Solution Settings tab page in the the Solution Directory for the solution.

Procedure

Assign structure elements

To add a structure element:

  1. To add structure elements to a change transaction, open the Projects or Solutions assignment block in change mode.

  2. To assign structure elements from a project, select the project in question and choose Assign Structure Element.

    To assign structure elements from a solution, select the solution in question.

  3. The system displays the possible structure elements in a selection window.

  4. Select the desired structure node.

    The system copies the entire structure tree down to the selected object.

    • With Show Other Transactions for Object, the system shows that the structure node is also used in other change transactions. You can click the icon to display the connected change transactions.

    • If you click on the icon for Checked Out with Transaction <Transaction>, the system shows that the structure node is checked out.

You have defined in Customizing whether and in which status, a procedure type can be checked in and out.

End of the note.
  1. Select the structure object for the solution and choose Flag and then Flag for Check Out.

  2. You can inform the person responsible for the solutions, that you intend to change them, per E-Mail.

    The system flags the structure element to be checked out, and you can decide whether to continue with the check-out.
