ChaRM Error - "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system"

[Former Member]

Hello All,

I am setting up ChaRM in development system after EGI session with SAP support. I have copied standard transactions to custom ones and created Maintenance and Implementation project to run test of all scenarios.

I now come across error of "No maintenance cycle is open for the current system" after I create a change request and in the change document, I cannot see it link with task list and the error message is displayed. I tried it with custom transaction as well as standard SAP transaction (SDCR) and get the same error.

What links a document to a maintenance cycle? Where can I see the config of this setup? I am trying to see where it is broken. I am using the correct IBASE number (production client in logical component), I tried to create a new logical component, new projects with correct settings but it still gives this error message. Please advice.

Thanks and regards,

Nischal

Thanks Prakhar,

It was authorization issue, I had given SAP standard roles to the test user, the error I got was 'Maintenance cycle not open' which was not very meaningful. I ran it with another user with SAP_ALL and it worked fine.

Hi

You can check the maintenance process link on document flow button , chk if it is there or not

and as right said above check in project administartion whether the maintenance cycle open and set te status as in developement.

Please do double check the presteps all done on charm config (like BC set activation,authoraization)

please check [First steps to work with Change Request Management |http://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/scn/weblogs?blog=/pub/wlg/10429] [original link is broken] [original link is broken] [original link is broken];
