You can assign projects and solutions and their structure elements, such as business scenarios, to requests for change and change documents. This allows you to document the changes made in the business scenarios, processes, or process steps of a project. You can navigate directly to the assigned projects and solutions and their structure elements and edit them there.

You can create a request for change from within a solution. For more information, see Creating a Request for Change.

Prerequisites

  • To be able to check-in and check-out objects for solutions directly from the request for change to the maintenance project, you have selected the Enable Check-Out-/Check-In of Solution Structure Elements checkbox on the Solution Settings tab page in the Solution Directory for the solution.

  • To create requests for change directly from within solutions, you have selected the Using Change Request Mangement checkbox on the Solution Settings tab page.

Features

  • You can assign a project and a solution in the Details assignment block of the change transaction in the Change Planning area. In the Project and Solution assignment blocks, you can add additional ones and delete existing ones as well as navigate to the projects and solutions and edit them directly.

    If you select a project assigned to just one solution using the search help, it is displayed automatically. If a project is assigned to multiple solutions, you can select the correct one.

    Note Note

    You can only select projects for which a maintenance cycle has been activated. For more information, see Maintenance Cycle and Processing a Maintenance Cycle.

    End of the note.

  • In the Solutions and Project assignment blocks, you make additional assignments and delete existing ones as well as navigate to the projects and solutions and edit them directly.

    The system automatically transfers the selected structure objects to the assignment block and you can display the objects as a tree structure.

  • You can check out objects from solutions to the maintenance system and check them back in again.
