SAP Program RSHD_TV_SCRV_DISPL - Unconverted transaction variants and variant transactions

Title
Unconverted Transaction Variants and Variant Transactions

Purpose
The transaction variant concept and transaction variant functionalityhave been reworked for Release 4.6A. The new functions available made atechnical change necessary in how data is stored. ReportRSHD_TV_SCRV_XPRA automatically converts all transaction variants foundin the system to the new technical structure when upgrading fromRelease 3.0x, 3.1x, 4.0x, or 4.5x to Release 4.6x. Variant transactionsare converted as well.
Sometimes not all transaction variants and variant transactions areconverted.

Features
You can use this report to display those transaction variants andvariant transactions in all clients that have not been automaticallyconverted along with the reason why they were not converted.

Activities

What do I do if...

...not all transaction variants were converted?
This can happen form one or more of the following reasons:

  • A transaction variant with the same name already exists in the system

  • either because the transaction variant has already been converted, or
    because a transaction variant with the new name already exists in thesystem (for example, one delivered by SAP that has already beenconverted).
    • The system was unable to choose a name, since its suggestion would have
    • contained more than 30 characters (this can only happen withtransactions whose names contain more than 15 characters).
      If necessary, use report RSHD_TV_SCRV_SG to convert the transactionvariants manually. You may select new transaction variant names freelyaccording to your own criteria in this report.
      Old (that is, not converted) and new (converted) transaction variantscan be compared using Report RS_HD_SCRV_COMP.

      ...not all variant transactions were converted?
      This can happen form one or more of the following reasons:

      • The (old) variant transaction is invalid,

      • because the transaction called does not exist, or
        because the (old) variant transaction does not exist
        • The new variant transaction already exists,

        • because it has already been converted, or
          because the corresponding (new) variant already exists
          • The new variant transaction does not exist,

          • because the (old) variant transaction could not be converted
            Convert any of the variant transactions you need manually (transactioncode maintenance):
            Replace the old transaction variant with a new one, but do not changeany of the other settings.
            Old (that is, not converted) and new (converted) transaction variantscan be compared using Report RS_HD_SCRV_COMP.
