How can I track who changed folder settings?

Hello experts,

The production system has several people who can directly change the folder settings like adding new function buttons. I found a new button added but the change is unnotified or approved and not made to test and development systems!

I can see the version info for folder settings ('i' button) but this is not accurate as I compared Test and Production system, the version shown are the same but obviously the folder in production was changed but the Test system was not. Seems clear to me that certain changes are not reflected by the 'i' button. Could this be a bug in SEM?

Now, I desperately need to know who added a folder function button and when. Could someone help me? Thanks.

Regards,

Mirella

Mirella,

All the changes that are made to planning folders are stored in this table UPB_PS_NAME.

It gives the following information, when it was changed, who changed & at what date & time.

But, "i button" should give you the desired/correct information.

Just check this table in both test system & production for the changes to the folder.

hope it helps.

Dear Hari79,

Thanks. Points awarded. The table seems the source of 'i' button info.

I tried, still cannot explain why in production there is 1 more function PFKT004 button when in the other systems only upto PFKT003. The unexplanable thing is why the change counters are all the same when the settings in the folder are different.

  • Seems like transported changes are recorded by date but direct changes (eg. Delete a button) are not recorded by the same change tracking mechanism. Am I right in saying so?

Could someone here or from SAP pls advise?

Many thanks!

Hello Mirella,

we are missing a critical piece of information. You said the counters are the same, but you did not say if the date and user id are the same or different between the systems.

Also check you transports. When was the folder transported the last time (look up table E071, for R3TR/TABU/UPB_PS_NAME, to find the transport task)? Is the date in production in UPB_PS_NAME creater than the date the folder was transported the last time?

Hi,

The previous replies are based on the recording of changes by the CTS. From your post, I understand the changes to the folders are done directly in LIVE system, wherein I assume no changes are recorded (ie. no transport requests would be created in LIVE).

If the changes are done, without the recording of changes in CTS, then the only way to rely on the 'Change log' of the table itself (Hopefully, the change log is activated for the table). You can display the 'Change log' (from SM30, enter the table name) and 'Utili..-> change logs)

Hope this helps. I could not provide you the table name which stores the folders themselves offhand,as I am not having the access to system at the moment. Finding the table is not big issue at all, if you plough through little deeper.

HTH,
