Set Client to Modifiable

Problem

You’d like to perform workbench or customizing changes on a client, but the client is not modifiable.

Solution

  • Open transaction SCC4
  • Double click on the client you’re trying to modify the objects on
  • Enter edit mode
  • Depending on whether you’re trying to modify client-depending or cross-client objects, follow either of the following steps and save afterwards.

Client-Depending Changes

In “Changes and Transports for Client-Specific Objects”, change the radio button from “No changes allowed” to one of the following values:

  • Changes without automatic recording: Changes can be performed, but will not be added to a transport request automatically. You can add changes to transport requests manually if desired.
  • Automatic recording of changes: Changes can be performed, and you will be prompted for a transport request on save (except for some edge cases which default to local customizing, like Fiori Launchpad Designer).
  • Changes w/o automatic recording, no transports allowed: Changes can be performed, but you are not allowed to collect them in transports.

Cross-Client Changes

In “Cross-Client Object Changes”, change the dropdown to either of the following values:

  • Changes to repository and cross-client customizing allowed: Changes to workbench objects and client-independent customizing can be performed.
  • No changes to cross-client customizing objects: Changes to workbench objects can be performed, but changes to client-independent customizing are not permitted.
  • No changes to repository objects: Changes to workbench objects are not permitted, but changes to client-independent customizing can be performed.
  • No changes to repository / cross-client customizing objects: Neither changes to workbench objects nor changes to client-independent customizing can be performed.
