Convert Used Applications (tgbrg5251m000)

Use this session to convert the applications that are used within the business processes and support applications from one component release to another.

Note: To convert applications from one component release (source) to another (destination) it is important that you maintain the application changes between the different component releases in the Conversion of Applications (tgbrg5150m000) session. When neglecting the changes it might happen that certain business processes and support applications can no longer be used as no destination application is specified.

Field Information

Version

Select the version of the business processes and support applications of which you can specify the ranges.

Business Process

If this check box is selected, you can select a range of business processes.

The activities of application type within the business processes will be checked whether a source application is linked. If this is true the source application will be converted to the destination application.

Note: Of course all conditions set in this session must be met before the actual conversion takes place.
Support Application

If this check box is selected, you can select a range of support applications.

The support applications will be checked whether a source application is linked. If this is true the source application will be converted to the destination application.

Note: Of course all conditions set in this session must be met before the actual conversion takes place.

Convert only Approved Application Conversions

If this check box is selected, the source applications that meet the following conditions are converted:

  • The conversion of a source application to a destination application is approved via the Approved Conversion check box in the Conversion of Applications (tgbrg5150m000) session.
  • The source application falls within the range you have specified.
  • The destination application falls within the range you have specified.
  • The source application is used by a business process or support application that falls within the ranges that you specified.
Convert Complete Replacement Only

If this check box is selected, the source applications that meet the following conditions are converted:

  • For which a complete replacement exists. This is true if the Complete replaced sessions check box in the Conversion of Applications (tgbrg5150m000) session is selected. A complete replacement means that the destination application covers the functionality of the source application.
  • The source application falls within the range you have specified.
  • The destination application falls within the range you have specified.
  • The source application is used by a business process or support application that falls within the ranges that you specified.
Keep original BP Activity Descriptions

If this check box is selected, the description of the activity will not be changed when the linked application (source application) is replaced by the destination application.

In other words the description of the activity will not be replaced by the description of the destination activity.

If this check box is selected, the description of the activity is replaced by the description of the destination application.

If the application that is linked to an activity exists in the source component, the system conducts a search for the corresponding application in the destination component. If the corresponding application exists, the description of the activity is changed to the description of the destination application.

Note: This option only applies to activities of type application.

If this check box is selected, ERP prints a report that shows per business process and support application which applications are converted.

This option is automatically selected if you select the Execute Test Run check box.
