Reassign Check
The system performs this check when you reassign a change document or assign or decouple transport requests in a change document because a reassignment might change the order of release and import, as the transport requests would belong to a different project. This kind of conflict may lead to a downgrade. You can reconsider whether the reassignment, decoupling or assignment is appropriate.
Prerequisites
See Downgrade Protection.
Activities
You reassign, assign, or decouple a transport request.
The system displays potential conflicts of the involved transport requests in the
Downgrade Protection
assignment block for Change Request Management or in theDowngrade Protection
tab for Quality Gate Management.You can either cancel the operation, or continue. If you continue the operation, the ignoring of the conflicts is logged.
Example
Example 1
You modify a function module, Z_TEST_FUNC1, and save it to a transport request DEVK000001. You release the transport request.
You modify the function module again and save it to transport request DEVK000002, bypassing the CSOL warning. DEVK000001 belongs to normal change NC1, while DEVK000002 belongs to normal change NC2. When you try to reassign the normal change NC2 to another project, potential conflicts with NC1 are detected and displayed in simulation mode in a dialog window. The system shows what would actually happen during reassignment. If you ignore the conflicts, NC2 will be reassigned.
Example 2
You already have two conflicting transport requests, DEVK000001 and DEVK000002, in normal changes NC1 and NC2. When you decouple DEVK000002 from NC2, a conflict popup shows the existing conflicts on DEVK000002, and you can continue only if you ignore the conflicts.
Example 3
DEVK000002 was previously decoupled, and has conflicts with DEVK000001 in normal change NC1. When you try to assign DEVK000002 to normal change NC2, conflicts are detected and displayed in simulation mode in a dialog window. The system shows what would actually happen if DEVK000002 were assigned to the normal change.
