TitleRelease Note
MediumImage Removed SC-307 Logging improved for the distribution by Loader /RTC/TM_LD_10 Issue:
Program /RTC/TM_LD_10 distributes transport requests to a number of transport manager systems. If one of these systems hangs, the distribution program also hangs. It takes quite a long time until the RFC timeout terminates the connection. Meanwhile, the other functioning systems are not supplied. The log of program /RTC/TM_LD_10 does not show which system is currently being supplied or is hanging.
Solution:
The program has been enhanced. If the RFC PING to a remote destination fails, the distribution to this system is aborted and the processing moves on to the next system. The return messages from the ping are recorded in table /RTC/TM_LO3. MediumImage Removed SC-190

Mass approval for packages

Issue:
As a user a want to have the possibility to approve multiple packages at the same time, if the packages have the same approval table structure.
Currently, the approval functionality was designed for only one package at a time.

Solution:
The program has been enhanced.

Batch user maintainable for import jobs

Issue:
When creating the jobs for the import scanner and the job reorganization in the global settings, a field is required in which the batch user for the job can be given.
At the moment, after the job has been created from TM, the user has to edit it manually in SM37 in order to change the batch user in the step of the job (currently always the logged-in user).

Solution:
When creating a job from the TM settings, a new field is shown in the popup for job creation: "batch user". The user can enter an SAP user name, that will be used as the author for the step of the job.

MediumImage Modified

SC-353 Wrong authority check for critical objects Issue:
The authority check for critical objects doesn't work properly at TR release
Root cause:
The authority check is done in TM server not in development system
Solution:
Program was corrected
MediumImage Removed SC-339 /RTC/TM_STATUS_SWITCHER is not switching with virtual systems Issue:
Standard switcher /RTC/TM_STATUS_SWITCHER is not moving transport requests to the next level when virtual systems are involved.
For example, if there is only one system in the current level, and the system is a virtual one, no import flag will be set, as no system queue can run for a virtual system. Therefore, the switcher will never move the transports to the next level.
Root cause:
Programming error

Dump GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED when deleting user from user group

Issue:
If an SAP user is deleted from the system, a dump GETWA_NOT_ASSIGNED occurs when trying to delete this user from the Synchronization Management user group it belonges to.

Root cause:
Programming error.

Solution:
The program has been corrected.

The error occurs during the installation of transport SR0K900040 SmartChange (Repository v5.0.0.0) on S/4HANA 1909.

Root cause:
Standard SAP table CMP_EXCEPT has been deleted in S/4HANA 1909.

Responsible User not updated

Issue:
Responsible User is not updated when the manual adjustment process is done.

Root cause:

Double entries in the task list for transport requests and its tasks

Issue:
The tasklist shows both the transport request and its tasks for customizing transports.
The error always occurs when the Synchronization Manager configuration or connection is carried out [again] (e.g. after a maintenance system has been rebuilt) for a system pair.

Root cause:
Program error in the initial analysis job for customizing transport requests.

Solution:
The program has been corrected.


Program /RTC/TM_STATUS_SWITCHER offers now a selection parameter that allows activating the checks that were previously done for the virtual systems if needed. By default, the program will run with the new functionality - virtual systems are ignored by the switcher. MediumImage Removed SC-338 Wrong SAP

Title is showing old name "SyncAssist"

Issue:
Synchronization Management (SyM) is still being shown as SyncAssist (or SA) in several places.

  • 'SA' was replaced with 'SM';
  • 'SynchAssist' was replaced with 'Synchronization Management'.

Wrong message "No authorization to access the Task List" displayed in the task list

Issue:
When the Task List is empty for a system pair, trying to access it triggers the misleading message "No authorization to access the Task List".

Root cause:
This was due to a program error.

Solution:
The program has been corrected:

-
  • The message "No authorization to access the Task List" means there are entries in the Task List that the user is not authorized to access.
-
  • The message "No data found" means there are no entries to be displayed in the Task List.

The owner's name is read from the source client of the transport request.
The names and translations of the columns "Author" and "Author full name" have been adjusted.

Slow performance due to faulty /RTC/TM_TR_DISTRIBUTOR step in @@ Job

Issue:

Root cause:
Programming error - The transport requests are distributed back to the original system as well.
