You can evaluate requests for change and change documents by various criteria and display the results in an overview.
To be able to choose and display transport objects, you have to activate the object reporting service. You do this in Customizing by choosing
.To save transport object information in the central SAP Solution Manager system, you must ensure that your database has sufficient capacity. We recommend that you use database monitoring tools to monitor your database capacity on a regular basis.
To use the reporting service for retrieving data from the managed systems in your system landscape, the managed systems must have at least the following Support Package level:

You have scheduled the Change Request Management data collector to run once an hour.
Note
The collector can only run once the last run has been completed. The date and time of the last data collector run are shown in the report under Status of Data. If the data collector is not running in a particular system (due to system downtime, for example), this system is displayed as below the date and time display as a discrepant system. You can update the information about the managed systems by choosing Refresh All Systems. The discrepant systems disappear when you update the display.

Example 1
You want to analyze transactions for a solution and urgent changes. You want to display transaction and project data. To do so, choose Header and Project in the Results List group box. Expand the Transaction Data tree and enter SMHF in the Transaction Type field. The system checks whether transactions exist in the context of the specified solution in which urgent changes were created. If transactions exist, the system displays the following information in a table:
Transaction number
Transaction description
Transaction type
Created on
System status
User status
Project name
Project type
Logical component
IMG project
Transport track
CTS identifier
Status of the project
Note
Not all transactions contain data in the areas displayed. In this case, the columns in question are empty.
Example 2
You want to analyze transactions for a solution and transport request <SAPK123456>. You only want to see information about the transaction. To do so, choose Header in the Results List group box. Expand the Transport Requests tree and enter the transport request in the Request/Task field. The system checks whether transactions exist in the context of the specified solution in which the transport request <SAPK123456> was created. Since no transactions exist in this context, the system displays the following message: No matches found for the specified selection criteria.
