cProjects -error after modifying and then reverting custom field control

[Former Member]

Hi,

We want to make a field non-mandatory in cProjects. We first changed the config of the field in the custom field control in SPRO by making it changeable.But after that cProjects is giving a dump when we try to view or create any project.

We reverted this change and restarted the servers but still see the dump.

Any pointers on how to solve this issue will be helpful.

Thanks,

Hi Simmi,

Which field are you trying to make non-mandatory? Please note that the standard field control should not be changed. Instead, you should copy the standard field control and make changes therein.

Vivek, Thanks for your reply.

We did not modify the standard field control.We just tried to make the one of the standard fields 'Changeable' in the custom field control we have.But we got the dump, so we reverted the change back to 'Mandatory'.

Now everything is same in the development server as other servers.. but still the dump shows up. Tried clearing IE cache , restarting server.. but the dump doesn't want to leave it seems.. Any ideas on what else we can try ?

Thanks,

Simmi

Hi Simmi,

It would help if you could post the dump details. If the dump persists even after reverting back the changes, you may try removing the field control assignment from the project type settings and then checking the application. It could be some other reason for the dump to persist.

Parts of the field control information is stored in the shared memory. Maybe this is not updated yet after your last change.

Please check under transaction SHMA -> monitor and delete (i.e. recreate) the instance CL_DPR_FC_MAP_AREA.

Hi Daniel,

Thanks for your reply. We deleted the instance in SHMA.. but it did not work.. very strange we still get the error for the field control in the development system only, though all systems are in sync now.
