Multiple system maintenance cycles are not shown in pop up for selection

[Former Member]

Hi,

In change manager, when we create a change document from a change request, we dont get a pop up for selection of maintenance cycles with multiple systems in it.

The change document is getting created by taking the only available maintenance cycle with only that system.

Is there any configuration for this?

Hi,

you only get a pop-up if there is more than one maintenance cycle for that system.

Further more if there are several cycles for that system but only one is in phase "developement with or without release" you won't get a pop-up either.

This is the systems' default behaviour.

Hi Christian,

Thanks for your reply.

I know the pop up will come only when there is more than one maintenance cycles for that production system.

I have done configuration for Normal correction.( SDMJ) and customized it (ZDMJ).

When I try to create a CD* from CR* for a particular production system ( CCP) , it just takes up a maintenance cycle for CCP system and doesnt show up any pop for selection of maint cycles whereas I have created 5 maintenance cycles for this system CCP.

The other 4 maintenance cycles have multiple landscapes (CCP and EAP )in it whereas this one (which gets selected by default) just has CCP landscape in it.

The strange part is that when I try to create a stand alone CD ( without CR ) , it will give that pop up showing all 5 maint cycles. But this is not happening when I create a CD from a CR.

I have never done/ seen configuration for the pop up of selecting maint cycles in ChaRM.

Looking forward to ur help,

( *CD - Change Document and * CR - Change Request)

Dipti,

As you are using a customized Transaction Type for your Corrections (ZDMJ), is your CR also creating a ZDMJ document and not SDMJ one?

This you can check in SPRO > SAP Solution Manager > Scenario-Specific > Change Mgmt > Change Request Mgmt > Extended Config > Change Transaction > Change Transaction Types > Copy Control for Change Request Mgmt > Define Mapping Rules

Hi Roel,

I had mapped ZDMJ to change request. This wasnt the issue anyway.

I could get to see all other maint cycles in pop up when I changed the project type to 'Implementation Project' from 'Maintenance project'.

This setting is there in 'copy control' in 'Make settings for change transaction types'.

Anyway, Thanks for replying to my query!

Have a good day.

Dipti.
