RELEASING A SEGMENT

[manubhutani]

Hi

Can anybody tell me what is the real meaning of releasing a segment after creating it in we31?

Hi Gaurav,

Releasing a segment means that whatever changes you have done in your segment will be activated and after you have released your segment, then when anyone opens your IDOC, he will see your changes in the segment which you have done. Until you release your segment, all your changes will be local to you and will not be seen anywhere else in anyother system.

Thanks,

when u release a segment or an Idoc only then the changes made to the same are reflected.

To release a segment;

Choose Goto -> Release from the menu.

Hi,

Release the segment :

You should only release the segment after you have successfully tested the processing.

In order to be able to create a new successor, you must have released the predecessor. The object cannot be changed again after being released. The release can be canceled if no successors for the development object have been created.

Segment definitions which have not been released are assigned the default value "000" as a version number.

You should only release the objects when your development has been completed. You can also test objects which have not been released. You should only cancel releases in exceptional cases, since subsequent changes to objects which have already been used can lead to inconsistencies. Subsystems, in particular, will not support these changes.
