SUPPORT Q&A - convert PR to ECR to ECN

wings - Wednesday, October 22, 2008 3:01 PM:

Hi, is there a way to convert the PR to an ECR and hence an ECN? On one of the scenario file ARAS says it could, but I just cannot find this option from my system. Mine is 9.0.1. Thanks in advance.

I wrote the add-on package that does what you're looking for, but I haven't yet posted it to the Project area.  I'll try to get it up there this week and let let you know when it's available.

Hi, im doing a research about ARAS and i need to know what is PR, ECR and ECN cause i need to know all i can find about the "Change Management Action" AddOn. Could you please give an idea (as detail as you can) Thanks!!

Hi Rob, have you uploaded the package. Thanks.



RobMcAveney - Friday, November 7, 2008 10:41 AM:

Sorry for the delay.  The package is now posted as "Change Management Actions" under Solution Add-Ons in the Projects area of this web site.  Good luck, and let me know how it works out.

Rob

This is just what I needed, thanks

Thanks Rob for the kind help. today we tried to upload the package through the solutionupgrade tool. I got error message at the step 9 of 14, saying the action already exists. Mine is a version 9.0.1. Can you please give a hint on this?

Are you sure the package isn't already loaded?  I'm not sure why else you'd get that error.  Try using Merge mode on the Import tool -- that should update the existing action instead of trying to add it as a new item.

thanks for the quick response. We did a merge and there was no error message. I will give it a workflow test immediately. Thanks.

Rob, we need your help here.

 We have tried the function on our workflow from ECR to ECN. However we have encountered two major issues:

 

1) when we check-out/check-in document to update, the system always give me an error message that the effective date needs to be later than the release date even if I purposely set the effective date to be 2wks later than the release date;

2) the checked-in document and the original document were mis-placed, meaning revA has revB file and vice versa;

 

None of these happened when we are not using this convert function. Can you please give me a hint of where I should look into? Thanks.
