SOLAR02 The document cannot be changed

[Former Member]

Hello,

I have developed a program that uploads files massively to Solution Manager, and the upload process works fine.

But when i try to edit a document that i uploaded using this program, the systems shows me this popup message.

The document cannot be changed.

Because:

it was copied from a template.

it was copied from the Business Process

Repository.

it is saved in a different context.

The document is flagged for copying, e.g.

because you are in a copied project.

<ZH>It has been copied.</>

The reference to the original document is

replaced by a reference to the copy.

Has anybody seen this before or why is this message being showed.

Kind regards

Jon

Hi All,

I am also facing the same error. When i am trying to copy a document placed in Project Documentation tab in an Implementation project and inserting a link to ---> General Documentation tab in Template project.

Now after linking the document, when i try to edit the document again in the Project Doc tab in Implementation project, it throws the above mentioned message and tries to create a copy of the document instead.

Note: I am facing this issue with a particular implementation project only. There is no such problem in other implementation project.

Also please let me know if it is possible to make General Documentation tab editable in Implementation projects in Solman because that would ease out a lot of tasks for us.

Thanks

Hi Rajat,

Gen Documentation tab should only be edited inside of template projects.

see the following URLs:

General Documentation - SAP Solution Manager - SAP Library

Template Projects - Solution Manager - SCN Wiki

Documents in Solar01 and Solar02 - Solution Manager - SCN Wiki

Hi Fabricius,

I agree. But what if i need to use a document created in Implementation project and for that when i link it to General Doc tab of template project. Then i am unable to edit the document in the implementation project and it is throwing the above mentioned error.

Hi Fabricius,

Is it possible to enable General Documentation tab for editing in Implementation projects.

This will solve out problem for the moment as we are comparing and adjusting (folders and documents) from Implementation project to Template project after every project go live.

Hi Rajat,

Sorry for the delay, I was out of office.

If you really wish to switch off this protection you can use report SM_FOLDER_NO_REFCOPY. Please see note 1236369 for details

In your case you would need to add the 'Technical Folder Name' SOLAR00 using the report Start report SM_FOLDER_NO_REFCOPY At 'Technical Folder Name' enter SOLAR00 and press the add button this inserts a new entry in table IWBSETTING. You should find in this table afterwards and entry with NAME = SM_FOLDER_NO_REFCOPY and VALUE = SOLAR00

Afterwards when you try to change the documents (or their attributes) from within the implementaion project the document should not be copied anymore

But please ba aware of the fact when using this that as of then the original document in the template can be changed from within every project type.

bets regards,

Hi Fabricius,

There is one funny thing i forgot to mention. We are not facing this error for some old implementation projects and only facing the error for impl. projects created after a certain timeline. I am not able to figure out what was changed which is causing the copy of documents being created in impl. projects after they are moved to General tab in template project. Could this be related to change in document context. 

But anyways thanks for the help. I will try the above solution and test this thing in Dev systems before we go for production. Will keep you posted.

Hi Fabricius,

The report runs fine and it helped resolve the issue. Just to add here that we needed to run the report for each implementation project separately.

Thanks for your support and help. Really appreciated.

Hi Fabricius,

Can we also make the General Documentation tab editable in Implementation projects. We want to use this functionality for special cases. Please suggest.
