Symptom
Customer-specific extensions should be included in the Reference IMG (Implementation Guide). These are displayed in the SAP Reference IMG, but are not copied into the Enterprise IMG.
After an upgrade the customer-specific extensions are not displayed anymore in the reference IMG.
After an upgrade the assignment of the customer specific activities for the application components are missing.
Cause and prerequisites
To transfer to the Enterprise IMG, the extensions must exist in a particular document class (SIMG) and must have the correct attributes. Generation of the Enterprise IMG is carried out via selection of application areas. Therefore, the documents created must at least be allocated to the application areas during attribute assignment. A complete attribute assignment is recommended to achieve problem-free operation within the projects.
After an unpgrade the customer-specific IMG extensions are not automatically transferred. This should provide an opportunity to check the new SAP structure first.
The assignment of the activity for the application components is stored in table TFM18. In Releases prior to and including 3.1G the table is exchanged. As a result the assignment of customer-specific activities for the components is lost.
Solution
Please check:
- Is the extension a document of the class SIMG? Only these are taken into account when generating the Enterprise IMG or the Project IMG.
- Are the attributes maintained for the extensions? The allocation to the application area must be maintained. The attributes "High priority function" and "Processing priority" should also be maintained as well as any possible country dependencies. Attribute maintenance can be reached via the menu Goto->Attributes for the document in the structure display / maintenance.
- Are Customizing objects assigned to this activity? You can display the assigned Customizing objects in the maintenance screen for attributes. If there is no object assigned to an activity, you can maintain the assignment in Transaction SOBJ. Choose the desired object (for example, a view) and go to sub-object. The transaction to be called and the IMG activity will there be entered.
Save the assignments of the customer-specific activities for the application components as follows:
- Create a transport request with the entry:
R3TR TABU TFM18
In the list of key fields enter the following:
DOKCLASS = "SIMG" DOKNAME = "Y*"
DOKCLASS = "SIMG" DOKNAME = "Z*"
Thus the transport request will contain all allocations for activities
in the customer name range.
- Export this transport request prior to the upgrade and import it again after the upgrade.
To copy the extensions after the upgrade you have to process the changed SAP structures in the maintenace transaction again. After you choose Change, you are asked whether you want to copy the extensions that have already been maintained. Confirm this question and save the structure afterwards. Make sure that the structure has the status final version, otherwise it cannot be transported.
You should execute extensions as follows: Create the customer-specific structure in the IMG functionality first. This is included in the SAP reference IMG afterwards. To do this change the structure "SIMG_ALL" in language "D" with Transaction SO70. To include a structure "ZCUSTOMER" in structure SIMG_ALL enter there as document class "BIBL" and as document name "ZCUSTOMER". Afterwards you have to translate structure SIMG_ALL with Transaction SE63 so that the extension text can be displayed in this structure in other languages than German. For the translation the structure should be in the status "Active".
