How to identify programs modified in Production without transport request?

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus,

I have the following doubt regarding how to do the following:

We have our Production environment closed to do changes, but a couple of times we are opening the environment to enable our Developers to make some specific changes, but.....we want to be sure that any other program has been changed.

How can we know if a program (Z program) has been modified directly, not by a transport request?

Thanks in advance guys for your help.

Do the remote comparison between DEV and PROD systems. A message is displayed saying "there are no differences...".

Thanks,

In the production client, display the source code & sue the menu path

Utilities> Versions> Version Management

Chec if the active version has a Tr Req No or not.

Suresh,

Thanks for your answer, I'm going to check this option.

Just one more question, Do you know some way to do this but not program by program?, I mean all Z programs (Z*) in one step (we have aprox. 400 "z" programs), and if I try to do it in each program per time...... mmmmm, I guess I will spend a lot of time.

Thanks a lot.

Hi,

Using Tcode: SE38, display the program, go through the menu path Utilities->Version Management.Here you can see the active version, compare with the earlier versions, remote compare with other systems like Dev System, QA System etc, who modified latestly, transport request number if any, date details etc.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Others have answered your question, so I am only adding a caution note here. Never allow your production system to be opened except if it comes from SAP in response to some OSS message.

It is both dangerous as well as a very big red mark for auditors. Put in a process that will always make it mandatory for changes to be made in development and move through the testing and finally to production.

Thanks a lot guys for your answers.

As I ask to Suresh.

Do you know some way to do a mass comparison with all Z programs in one time?
