Procedure documentationConfiguring the Dialog Window for Creating Transport Requests in Urgent Changes Locate this document in the navigation structure

 

When an urgent change is set to “In development”, the system displays the Create Transport Requests dialog window.

Note Note

If you are a new customer with SAP Solution Manager 7.1, the Customizing for this function is copied automatically in the SAP Solution Manager configuration. In this case you can ignore this documentation.

If you have been using change request management with SAP Solution Manager before, and copied your transaction types already in an earlier release or Support Package, you have to customize this functionality for your customer-specific transaction type.

End of the note.

Procedure

The configuration procedure consists of two steps:

Step 1: Create a PPF container element in the PPF action which sets the user status 'In Development'

  1. In Customizing for SAP Solution Manager under   Capabilities   Change Request Management   Transactions   Actions   Change Actions and Conditions   Define Action Profiles and Actions  , select your action profile for the urgent change (for example, ZMHF_ACTIONS).

  2. Choose Action Definition to display the actions assigned to the profile.

  3. Select the action ZMHF_IN_PROCESS (or your copy from the original action SMHF_IN_PROCESS and choose Save.

  4. Choose Processing Types.

  5. Choose Change Definition.

  6. Choose Create Transport.

  7. Choose Create.

  8. Create a new container element using the following data:

    • Element: CREATE_TRANSPORT

    • Name: CREATE_TRANSPORT

    • Short Description: CREATE TRANSPORT

    • Object Type: ABAP class, CL_AIC_PPF_CONT_ASSIGN_TRANSP

  9. Save your entries.

Step 2: Create an entry in the Dialog Window Framework to register the dialog window 'Create Transport Requests' to the PPF action

  1. In Customizing for SAP Solution Manager under   Capabilities   Change Request Management   Implementation of Dialog Boxes in WebClient UI   Assign Dialog Box to a PPF Action.  , select your action profile for the urgent change (for example, ZMHF_ACTIONS).

  2. Select SMHF_IN_PROCESS and choose Copy as...

  3. Adapt the entry to your transaction type, action profile and action.

  4. Save your entries.

Optional Step: Add a filter value for a Business Add-In implementation

If the name of your PPF action does not end with “..._IN_PROCESS”, you have to add a filter value for a Business Add-In (BAdI) implementation, so that the system can call the BAdI. The filter calls all PPF actions ending with 'IN_PROCESS'. If your action has another name, you have to add the filter value in the BADI implementation calling the dialog window.

Note Note

If you do not have a developer key, you cannot add the filter value. In this case, copy the PPF action and the condition and use the name ending with “..._IN_PROCESS”.

End of the note.

  1. In Customizing for SAP Solution Manager under   Capabilities   Change Request Management   Implementation of Dialog Boxes in WebClient UI   Implement BADI Methods for Dialog Box  , enter the name of the BAdI definition AIC_POPUP_ON_CLOSE_EVENT.

  2. Choose Display.

  3. Under the BAdI definition, choose Implementations and select the implementation AIC_CREATE_TRANSPORT_REQ.

  4. Select the implementation AIC_CREATE_TRANSPORT_REQ by double-clicking it.

  5. Add the additional filter value PPF_ACTION = <your PPF action name>.
