SolMan Updating Report
The SolMan Updating Report displays the changes made to SolMan projects from a particular point in time in the current HOPEX transaction.
Two parameters are considered for the report:
• A particular SolMan project
• A schedule (optional). If the schedule parameter is not defined, the report will show all modifications of the current transaction. All modifications will be displayed as "New" objects if the SolMan project was created in the current transaction.
The updates presented in the updating report therefore relate to:
• A MEGA object, in this case the SolMan project
• A dispatch: in this case only the updates relating to the dispatch are presented
• A schedule: this is used to define a period for the data extraction. If no end date is specified, the extraction concerns all updates from the start date. If a dispatch takes place the period defined by the schedule is not taken into account.
The SolMan Updating Report is generated on SolMan projects. You must launch the generation from the SolMan project folder in the SolMan navigation window.
There are two reports available:
• Report Parameters
• SolMan Updating
The SolMan Updating Report displays the project information in a tree.
The updates carried out on the SolMan project are indicated by specific icons. The icons displayed depend on the type of changes made. The changes can include:
• Component and/or characteristic modifications to objects
• Creation or linking of objects
• Deletion or unlinking of objects
The icons are displayed in front of the object that has been modified.
If an object in a project has been modified, an icon indicating that a change has occurred appears in front of the project folder. Expand the project until you reach the object that has been modified/created/deleted.
When an object has been modified, an "Updating" folder is displayed under the name of this object. This folder contains specific details relating to the modification:
• The attribute that was modified
• The date of the change
• The user who made the change
Example of SolMan Updating Report with Updates
In the above example, the "Reclassify Product Master" and "Configure Classification Help" transactions were altered in the project. They were made inactive.
This is indicated in the "Updating" folder. The value for the "SolMan ProcessStep Is Active" attribute is set at "U" for inactive. When the attribute is set to "Active" the value is "A".
Using the schedule
Using the schedule in the SolMan Updating report allows you to:
• Attach a dispatch to your report. This shows everything that was done in the current transaction.
• Base the report generation on a specific time period. This allows you to see what was done during the specified time period.
By default the report is based on what happened during the current transaction.
To set the schedule parameter for the updating reports:
1. From the SolMan project pop-up menu, select Report Discovery.
2. In the Available reports section, select SolMan Analysis.
3. Next to the report for which you want to set the calendar parameter select Customize and Launch a new report.
4. In the Properties dialog box of the report and in the Parameters tab, select the Schedule sub-tab.
5. In the Schedule section, click Connect and in the query dialog box that appears select the schedule desires and click OK.
6. In the list of results, select the desired schedule and click OK.
The Schedule appears in the Properties dialog box of the report.
Creating a schedule
To create a schedule, you must first ensure that you at least have "Advanced" Metamodel Access rights to the repository you are using (

You can create schedules in
HOPEX Windows Front-End only.

The new Schedule appears in the Utilities navigation window in the Schedule folder.
3. Open the Properties dialog box of the schedule and in the Characteristics tab indicate the Start date and if required, the End date of the schedule.
4. Click OK when finished.
Your schedule (calendar) is ready for use.
