Custom Business Object Code missing in EBP 3.5 -- additional comment on version management

There have been several times I would have loved to follow the suggestion o=
f going to SE38 and choosing version management, among other activities ava=
ilable via SE38, but alas in 4.6C this does not appear to be possible. The=
ABAP editor automatically jumps to the business object builder, where vers=
ion management is grayed out and the robustness of the editor in general is=
not as good as that of SE80/SE38.
If anyone knows of another way to see version control for BOR objects, I'd =
love to know about it. All I can typically see is the created by and last =
changed by info on the basic data screen, which isn't very helpful if you'r=
e trying to track what happened before the current perpetrator got to it!
Have a great weekend everyone,
David

Hi everyone, I have had similar experiences a fey years back, I "lost" some
attribute code several times (must have been on 4.5 I guess) and could not
get it to "stay put" at first. I kept regenerating the object and kept
putting in the code (thankfully not so much at the time), and it would
consistently dissappear on generation of the object. However, as so often,
persistence paid out, and at one point it woulf actually "keep" my code on
generation and then the error never happened again. I tried combinations of
buffer resets (the Basis guys know the reset codes, they escape me at the
moment), transaction resets, logouts, etc..
I suppose this was due to some glitch in the generation program, maybe in
combination with a buffering problem, large table spaces, or the like. Have
your Basis gurus check the system logs and parameters for the time in
question, maybe that gives you a hint.
>From a pure basis point of view, try se38, enter the program name and go to
utilities.. versions.. version management, maybe you can recover a previous
version that is not too old.. or copy the currently live version from the
production or QA box..
Hope this helps,
Stephan
P.S.: LOVE the expression EBKAC. Hadn't heard that one before, believe it o=
r
not. Our codes for that are the usual "problem in front of the screen" or
the unflattering and politically incorrect DFU (dumb effin user)..

Okay, I know you are all rolling on the floor laughing, but first off, let
me add, I was not the
developer that this happened to. Really. Secondly, this person is now
trying to restore code from
who-knows-what-level and is convinced that the business object code will
re-disappear, so please, if
anyone has had this happen, and it was NOT a EBKAC, please let me know. If
this has happened, and
it WAS an EBKAC, that'd be helpful too. The Basis folks are expending a lo=
t
of energy on this.
(And Basis folks are my friends).
Thanks in advance,
Sue
