Migrating LSMW via change request Problem

Former Member

We have been migrating any changes in our LSMW objects using the path Extras --> Create Change Request from the transaction code LSMW. This will be from DEV server to QA server. We have been doing this process for the past 5 months.

HOwever, 2 weeks ago, it suddenly didnt work. I compared the program generated by LSMW object between the Dev server and QA server and there are dfferences.

To test if this is not just a code change directly made on the QA server, I specifically run another test. I created a change request, immediately migrated it to QA and check if the code has been updated. The code in QA server was not migrated even though the transport log shows that it was successfully migrated.

Why is this so? We used to do this and it used to work. How come it suddenly stops working? Please help....

Not the program itself but the mapping is transported. To update the program you have to regenerate the read program and conversion program from the LSMW menu after transporting.

Hi CIM,

maybe you are right with your assumption: code was changed in QA.

This might change attribute of this program to 'original' and normal transports no longer change such objects (to prevent unwanted changes in DEV).

But there is a special flag 'overwrite originals' (or something like that), which can be set during transportation.

Try this out.

But maybe it's something else...

Regards,

Christian
