Tracking the use of an object in several transport requests

[artemzhegalin]

Hello, SAP gurus.

CSOL and DGP can track dependencies when an object is changed in two or more transport requests. But there is a simple situation when CSOL and DGP will not help us:

1. Developer 1 creates new function module and saves it to TR1;
2. Developer 2 uses that module (but does not change anythig in it) and saves his work in TR2.

Now if TR2 will be imported first - we will have a dump in our target system.

Does SAP SM have some standard functionality for solving such situations?

Hi Artem

Yes ideally DGP checks should warn you about the sequence it should follow.

Hello, Rishav.

The idea of DGP is to track objects that are changed. But when we just use FM (that is stored in TR1) for other development (TR2) - there will be no conflicts between requests.

Hi Artem

There is predecessor check functionality of DGP and it should work in this scenario.

However it will always depend on the way you release your transport it will be imported to production in the same sequence. But if the sequence you had released is not correct than DGP should warn you.

Hi,

Predecessor check wont work here as there are no conflicts identified.

• Predecessor check (based on cCTS)
  The system can detect conflicting predecessors, that is, preceding transport requests containing conflicts, at the time of importing transport requests or transport of copies to the production or quality assurance system.

Hi,

Oh surprised same object is being used and if not conflicts identified then yes DGP can not work here.

the sequence of release from the system is the key.

thanks
