Hi Vishnu,

In SAP ABAP version Management is very useful to keep track of the changes that you make to your program. Version Management helps in keeping a record of the changes that you make and in case you want to revert back to the older version you can do so by activating the appropriate version. Version management is a better way of trying out some change in the code and if this leads to undesirable results then you can go back to the earlier version. In case you want to revert back to the earlier version you need to re-activate it. Version management is also useful to an auditor to review the complete history of a program. The system administrator can view the version management to track changes in a specific time interval.

hi,

in simple words we can say like this.

consider u already created the code and if other person changes some thing then system maintains both the versions(even though other person changed and saved).

this is very useful to compare the changes or to see the modifications..

it is very helpful in enhancement projects so that we can keep monitor o the Changes.

for more information u can refer above mentioned links

thanks

hi,

Almost all objects has version management except Sapscript & Smartforms.

This is mainly used to go back to the earlier version of the program when your fix has created a major problem in prodn.

As a precaution they will revert to the earlier version and migrate to stop causing the problems more.

A version will not be created unless you release the transport.
