function group - transport order

former_member582701 — Wed, 28 Feb 2007 15:17:18 GMT

Hi people,

I have a question. I have released a transport order in which there was a group function. Now, i have to modify a FM of this FG. I have created a new transport order but i have not created a new FG. Is it correct? I need to create a new FG? How i can join my fm into the new fg?

Thx in advance

Hi Manel,

If you are referring to a transport request, then what you have done is correct, there is no need to craete a new function group for the changes.

If you are creating a new function module within that functoin group, there is not need for a transport of the function group, just the function module, the system will put all required components on the transport when creating the function module. No worries.

Go to SE80, enter the funciton group where you want the FM to reside, hit enter, now right click in the function group name and choose "Create", then "Function Module".

Hello Manel

A function module is always dependent on its function group. Thus, when you add a new function module to an existing function group the transport system takes care that the necessary transport objects are inserted into the transport request.

<b>Now why do we group function modules into a function group?</b> Function modules having similar functionalities (e.g. DB access, or upload/download to local PC, user-exit function modules) should be grouped together otherwise we create a separate function group as well.

You only need to create a new transport to modify the FM as the previous transport is already released. Thats all.

Thanks,

Ok, thx guys.

I believed it too. There was not necessary create a new function group but when i have gone to SE01 (transport orders) i have seen:

DESK922495

- function module Z_RFC_CLIENTS

- tables, definitions, etc

And in others transport orders

DESK922239

- function group ZF01

- tables, etc

Then i have doubted because in theory my RFC is comprised for ZF01 too. But i suppose it is normal.

Thx

note RFC is the fm that i am changing.
