REALTECH SmartChange SP3

Allow Transport of Copies to be assigned to an External ITSM issue ID

With this new feature, Transport of Copies (ToC) can now also be assigned to an external ITSM issue (ex. Jira), same as Workbench or Customizing transport requests.
Because the link between ITSM issue and transport request is stored in SAP transport request attributes, this functionality can only be activated if standard SAP allows the ToC to have SAP attributes attached (SAP NetWeaver version greater than 7.50 or S/4 HANA systems).
In order to activate this feature, /RTC/TM_IF_CONFIG > Global Activation setting, TR_TYPE must be set to 'A' (All).

Enhance TMC approval and alert list with custom attributes

Possibility to display TM attributes as columns in the alert and approval list of TMC.
A new transaction /RTC/TMC2ATTRIB exists to configure the TM attributes to be displayed for all or for a specific TM server. For configuration, the following fields are to fill:

• TM-Server SID
• TM Attribute Name
• Field name (optional - if not filled, then the attribute name will be used as the field name in ALV)
• Active (used to activate the display of the attribute)
  The fields should be unique and distinct from the fields of structure /rtc/tmc_alerts_out_s.

Deploy application roles to development systems via TM Update assistant

With this feature, the TM Update assistant will apply the application roles transport to all the development systems.
The queue generation is based on the tm_upd.txt file. The new code, SDEV, determines the import in all development systems configured in TM > Global settings > Standard systems, for all active clients with the role 'Development' or space.

Filter in the TM Monitor to select all TRs with intersection of 2 attribute-values

With this feature, the user can filter in the TM for Transport Requests with more than one attribute. The TM Attribute filter can be set by using the “TM Attribute” button in the filter area. Using the “TM Attribute” Button a pop-up is displayed to add TM attributes entries to a list. The TM-Attribute name is mandatory. The value field is not mandatory, if this is empty or '' then all the Transport that have the inserted TM-Attribute name will be selected. The value field is key-sensitive and does not work with value + '' like 'REALT*'.

Exclude transports in history when adding transports to TM manually

When adding transports to TM manually, in the list of transport also transports that are in history will be shown, the list can become very large and finding the transports that you want will be very painful. Therefore a check-box to enable or disable the selection from history was added in the selection screen.

Customizing enhanced to consider exception objects when creating a Synchronizing Request

The user has the possibility to define Exception objects in the SyM Customizing. These objects are excluded from the analysis.
With this new feature, the status of the object (ex. "Excluded") is shown in the screen 'Create Customizing sync request', as displayed in the Customizing Object Comparison screen. The user has now the option to filter by excluded objects or to delete excluded objects.

Extend the Jira templates in the TM Integration Framework by the work item J2O

As a prerequisite configuration step for using the column 'Ticket ID' from the TM Monitor to jump directly to the assigned Ticket ID in the default web browser, you must configure work item J2O in the TM Integration Framework cockpit (/RTC/TM_IF_CONFIG>ITSM systems configuration).

J2O work item has been included in the template configurations: TEMPLATE _JIRA CLOUD, TEMPLATE _JIRA SERVER.
Item Type: J2O
Item Description: Jump to Issue
Item path: /browse/

For the hyperlink to work correctly, make sure you also have defined the server path in the corresponding ITSM definition (ex. https://server-path.atlassian.net).

Replacing obsolete function modules

Issue:
PANAYA tool detected obsolete function modules.

Root cause:

Authorization failed due to missing authorization role during SyM Customizing analysis

Issue:
Sometimes, SyM Customizing analysis fails due to missing authorization for the user.
Depending on objects being analyzed, different failed authorization checks are registered, for example when creating the CUST initial job.

Root cause:
Missing authorization in SyM Roles.

Solution:
Authorization role /RTC/SA_CON updated with:

• S_RFC - RFC_name : FUNCTION_EXISTS, SCCR*
• S_TABU_NAM - Activity: 02, 03
• S_TABU_CLI

An /RTC/ authorization role is missing to allow creation of Smart Connection

Issue:
When adding a system to the SMART controller, the step of creating the RFC back from the added system to the SMART console fails. There are missing permissions to create an RFC when testing with user ZRTC4_TM_ADM.

Root cause:
The user does not have the necessary rights to create the RFCs.

Solution:
The authorization object S_RFC_ADM needs to be added to the user, with activity 01 (Add or Create) and '*' for 'Logical destination (specified)'. This should be added in 000 clients in all the systems that are added to /RTC/Smart.
Role /RTC/TM_RFC_HIGH has been enhanced with this authorization. Therefore, user ZRTC4_TM_ADM can be used as the login user for the Smart RFC destinations that are created when adding a new system.
