SAP Note 28687 - PS 3.0 matchcode search unsuccessful (WBS, network)

Symptom:

After you have upgraded the system to Release 3.0, you can no longer find Project System master data using the matchcode search, although the same search was successful in Release 2.1 or 2.2.

Cause and prerequisites

The matchcodes in Project System were changed to transparent matchcodes and are now case sensitive - unlike in Release 2.2.
Please read the Release notes relative to matchcodes in Project System: Changes in 3.0 for status 3.0A.

1. Work breakdown structure (project definition, WBS element):

Program RMCNXPR3, which fills a new field used for the matchcode search, did not run correctly during the upgrade. Cause is a program error in Release 30A.

2. Network

A solution as in the work breakdown structure (additional field in the master record) would lead to a considerably higher runtime during the Release Upgrade. For this reason, this solution was not applied.

Solution

1. Work breakdown structure:

Correct Include XPRACASE as follows and start report RMCNXPR3 again. Use user DDIC for this. Report RMCNXPR3 must only be started in one client and it processes all clients in one run.

2. Network

Repect lower/upper case for matchcode search.
