Change the Data Elements Text (Label and Description)

[Former Member]

Hi,

I need to change the data elements label and short description in Development and transpot it into quality and Production system.

I could change the label and short description using the Menu Goto --> Translation. But the system does not prompt for the transport request. Can you please any one help me how to attach a transport request to the changes (Translations) done on the Data Elements? It would be a great help!.

Thanks andn Regards,

Hi,

Usually whenever you try to change it, you would be promted for a TR. If you are not promted, then probably the data element is stored as a local object. Goto ATTRIBUTES of the data element and change it from Local Object into a TR. Later on you can release this TR to subsequent systems.

HI Kannan,

Run the program RSTXTRAN to create a tr for texts.

Are these standard data elements or your own custom data elements?

Also check in SCC4 whether "Automatic Recording of changes" is selected for your client.

I'm not getting a transport request either. Any I know it is not a local object and not already on a transport. To attach it to a transport. Now on the first screen of SE10, there is a "tool" icon, click it. In the next screen, put your cursor on the "Include Objects in a Transport Request and click execute. On this screen, select the radiobutton for "Selected Objects". Now in the row for data element, check the check box on the left, and enter the name of the data element on the right. click execute. In the next screen, put your cursor on the data element click save in request. Here you can create a request.

this also could be because there is already a transport existing for that data element .Check in SE09 or SE10 whether there is a transport already there for the data element or Table
