Is there a way to know what changes has been made in a specific TR number for TRANSFORMATION?

[Loed]

Hi guys,

Just wondering if there is a way to know what changes has been done (either in mapping or routine) in a specific TR number for a transformation?

So for example, I have this original code in end routine:

loop at result_package assigning <result_fields>.

<result_fields>-quantity = 10.

endloop.

Then someone changed it under these TR numbers:

TR 1001

loop at result_package assigning <result_fields>.

<result_fields>-quantity = 20.

endloop.

TR 1002 (this is now the routine in the production)

loop at result_package assigning <result_fields>.

<result_fields>-quantity = 10 + 20.

endloop.

If I check in version management, I will see that there are 2 TRs 1001 and 1002, right?

Is there a way to know what was the state of the transformation before transporting the TRs 1001 or 1002?

Thank you.

Hi Loed,

On you dev system, you should find all the versions of the transformation (menu Goto/Versions). Did you have a look ? The content of each version can be difficult to understand though (depending on the modification done).

Yes I saw it but I don't know how to interpret the COMPARE VERSION in the VERSION MANAGEMENT. Do you know how to use it?

Thanks.

There is not much I can say. As already said, the technical representation of the transformation is not the most usable I have seen (it follows the structure of the underlying tables).

When comparing 2 version, all the components are displayed and you will find in the Difference column the status of the component (identical, different, added, deleted).

Yes, I really don't understand how to use it. 😄

Hopefully someone can explain it. Because I think SAP will not do that function if it has no use for BW consultants.

Thanks for your help Frederic!

You actually need to understand the structure and organization of the RSTRAN* tables to understand how you can use this version management feature.

Any idea?
