Modification assiatnt deactivated

[former_member202077]

Hello

Last week I put my code in RVCOMFZZ BY USING Modification Assistant, fine.

After that our system upgraded the release from 7.0 to 7.1.

Now, Function specification is updated so am trying to change my previous code, but, the Modification assistant is de-activated!! I tried from Menu, no use!!

Pls. let me know How can I change my code?

Is this because of Release upgrade? if so, how can i resolve it?

Thank you

You should find it in your SPAU listing. You can reset it or adopt your changes.

Thank you.

Pls. eloborate a bit.

For starters, please bring up transaction SPAU and check the documentation.

You can also use transaction SE95 to set the object back to its original state. With the modification assistant you can then re-implement your changes.

Hope this helps.

Thank you.

Actually, this Include RVCOMFZZ has around 5 ABAPers (including me) code in it.

Hnce pls. let me know that if I do "Reset to its ORIGINAL" do I loose all others (rest 4 developers) code as well? or only my code will be disappeared and SAP leaves the rest 4 ABAPers code as is?

Thank you

Hi

If you reset on ORIGINAL all code will be lost, RVCOMFZZ is a standard include for user-exit, so the original will be the include with the user-exit empty.

Now if the assistent is deactive that doesn't mean it can't change it, if it's so probably it can register the standard object in OSS again in order to return the acces key.

Anyway if you reset on ORIGINAL you'll need to re-write all ABAP Code manually, so it's very important the old system is still available.

Thank you a lot, as this is a global system, i dont want to loose/disturb other peoples code and re-apply/re-do again (here not acceptable too).

hence, i prefer to get a new OSS/access key from basis. Thats the ONLY i need to do right?

Thank you

[Former Member]

I believe it:

try to press the button for CHANGE, if the popup for Access Key will be shown, it means u need to register the object again

Have you tried to do it?

In SPAU, you will probably want to adopt your (and the others changes). It will open a split screen session where you can see the old version and the new one. You can copy your changes over if you want to.

Rob

[former_member202077]

Thank you.

Yes, its asking Access key.

I prefer to get a Access key option over Robs option(Split screen and copying over the changes), because i guess, today or tomorrow some one else/ABAPer (for any enhancement/modification of this object) may take access key for this object, so i will take now and will do my stuff.

Thank you

Hi

Perhaps there's a little confusion: it need to consider in which step is your system, i.e the upgrade is or not is ended?

The SPAU should be used while upgrading: I remember if all "gaps" set in the SPAU have to be correct else the upgrade can't go on.

So if the upgrade is over and u need only to add some new modifications: it's better to ask the access key

If you need to correct the program for the upgrade: it's better to use the SPAU

Since the modification assistant is de-activated, I think they are in the upgrade process.

Rob

sincerely I've not understood it yet, I'm a bit confused

Let's say you have applied some mods to a standard SAP program. Then yoiu upgrade or apply support packs that hit the object you have modified. The new version will have the new SAP code, but will not have your earlier changes.

So, in that case, it would make sense that SAP not allow you to make any further changes until you reconcile both your changes and SAP's changes by reconciling in SPAU. this may involve setting to original or adopting the users changes. Once SPAU is happy, the modification assistant should appear. Further changes should go in a new transport request though.

At least that's how I think it works

Sorry for delayed response.

Our development & QA stystems are upgraded from 7.0 to 7.1

But, not yet the Production!!

Now, in development system In RVCOMFZZ, I can see other ABAPers changes and my changes as well.

But, Modification assistant is de-activated!! Now as functional specification has updated i need to change my previous (which not yet moved to QA) code!!

Thank you

Rob

You're right and I know it

But I can't understand if the upgrade is over or I'm not sure of what ABAP_SAP_ABAP wants to mean:

There are many things sound strange, for example:

If Upgrade is progress and it tryes to change an object set in SPAU, the system should avoid to change it by SE38, because SPAU should lock it, so the object is changeble by SPAU only.

Only ABAP_SAP_ABAP can solve......explain the mistery

Well, by de-activating the modification assistant, the object is in effect locked, but yes, it's time for further clarification from OP.

Great Rob you're right

Now just last question in QA system was uograded from development system?

Anyway if assistent is deactive just Rob said it can mean RVCOMFZZ is locked in SPAU so you can adjust the object there only:

U should check if the object is in SPAU and which its status is (See the color): it very important to change the object there, because the request can be assigned to the upgrade in order to sign it as request for the upgrade.

Sorry for confusion.

Just now I asked my colleague and came to know that "SPAU all objects are LOCKED"

Yes, QA is upgraded from DEV system, went well.

Production is not yet upgraded, scheduled for next month

I got the same issue when I worked with ENH (SAP said I need to ADJUST) to do additional changes, then I went to SPAU_ENH (I forgot exact TX) and clicked the tab of ADJUST, then SAP allowed me to put my additipnal code.

Until now, My any changes are not yet moved to QA.

Pls. suggest me wht to do now?

Thank you

Hi

Run SPAU transaction and search your object: u should see two main group:

With Modification Assistant

Without Modification Assistant

I can't know where your object is, search it and then click on icon (if I rember it should be or a trafficlight or something like that), then the system should indicate you all operations u need to do.
