1865508 - Not Possible to Open an Activity in the Implementation Project

When you try to open an Activity, system opens a new page with below information:

"Activity Cannot be completed

You can not access this activity due to one of the following reasons:

1. You have decided to run your change project without a test system.
2. You have requested a runtime system, but the system is not yet available.

What you can do:

1. Close this activity to continue your change project without test system. The activity will be automatically reopened after the merge and must be completed in your production system.
2. To request a test system, go to Implementation Projects view in the Business Configuration work center. Select your project, click Actions and Request System"

Note: This applies to all activities that have to be repeated.

"Activity Cannot be completed

You can not access this activity due to one of the following reasons:

1. You have decided to run your change project without a test system.
2. You have requested a runtime system, but the system is not yet available.

What you can do:

1. Close this activity to continue your change project without test system. The activity will be automatically reopened after the merge and must be completed in your production system.
2. To request a test system, go to Implementation Projects view in the Business Configuration work center. Select your project, click Actions and Request System"

Note: This applies to all activities that have to be repeated.

The Activity requires repetition. That is why the Repetition Required checkbox is ticked and the Activity can not be changed in a project.

This screen opens for an Activity which is has Repetition Required as Yes.

What is Repetition Required means for an Activity?

The data in this Activity cannot be copied automatically to another system. It is required to always repeat this Activity in the other system. For example, if the Activity is maintained in the test system, it must nonetheless be repeated in the production system.

This scenario can be caused by different reasons, which are as follows:

Case 1: Change Project without Test system, or Change Project in Standalone System

An Activity (Repetition Required as Yes) has been added into a Change Project and when this Activity is opened, the above page opens.

Solution:

It is standard behavior. An Activity (which has Repetition Required as Yes) should be completed after the Change Project is Merged.

Perform the following steps to complete the activity:

1. Close this Activity along with other Fine Tuning Activities to continue the Change Project.
2. Merge the Change Project using Merge Change to Production System activity in the Go-Live phase.
3. All Activities with Repetition Required will be open again automatically.
4. Complete those re-opened Activities and perform related Activities.
5. Close those Activities.
6. Close the Change Project.

Case 2: Change Project with Test system

An Activity (Repetition Required as Yes) has been added into a Change Project and when this Activity is opened, the above page opens.

Solution:

It is standard behavior. An Activity (which has Repetition Required as Yes) should be completed after the Change Project is Merged.

Perform the following steps to complete the activity:

1. Close this Activity along with other fine tuning Activities to continue the Change Project in the Test System.
2. Merge the Change Project using Merge Change to Production System activity in the Go-Live phase.
3. Now, open this Change Project in Productive System.
4. All Activities with Repetition Required will be open again automatically.
5. Complete those re-opened Activities and perform related Activities.
6. Close those Activities.
7. Close the Change Project.

Case 3: Change Project with Test system where the Test System is yet to be delivered (System Status of the Change Project is Test System Request Sent)

If a Test System has been requested (System Status of the Change Project is Test System Request Sent) and an Activity (Repetition Required as Yes) in the Change Project is being accessed, the above page may be encountered.

In this case, it is required to wait until the Test system is accessible, so that access to this Activity in the Test System can be gained and the above steps in Case 2 can be followed.

Additional Information:

1. This applies to all the Activities which have to be repeated (See the Repetition Required column).
2. Any Activities related to Migration should be performed in Productive system only. Because the data in this Activity cannot be copied automatically to another system.
