How does CHaRM include pre-existing CR?

[Former Member]

Gurus:

We have just configured CHARM for our ECC systems.

Before this we use STMS to transport CR (change requests). Therefore we have some "old" CRs that are NOT included in any

project.

Could you please tell me how to include those CRs into a project that is under the control of CHARM?

Thanks a lot!

Hey Laura-

You'll need to first create the new ChaRm controlled change request (and then transport request) from Solution Manager. The next step would be to Merge the contents of the "old" transport request with the "new" ChaRm request.

Once the contents have been merged it will automatically release the locks contained within the "old" transport request and delete it. This procedure works for transport requests that have not yet been released.

Hope this helps

Thanks!

The problem is how to merge?

May I use SE10: include the old CR into the new CR?

Please help. Thanks a lot!

Hey Laura-

yes, se10 will work. Right click on the old transport request and click merge. You'll then get a pop-up that asks where you want to merge the contents to (it's very clear). Enter the new TR number here.

You may need to remove the project assignment from the old TR, ....if so you'll get a warning telling you to do so.

Thanks
