Backing out SAP Transport files

[former_member1128088]

Hi Folks,

I met a serious problem. I was asked to implement SAP Note 1173540 in a system which is 4.6c. The note required a transport file to be imported. Now by mistake a wrong transport file, which was meant for Enterprise 4.70 system was imported. We are getting syntax errors because of this wrong import because some of the datatypes like clike etc are not defined in 4.6c environment.

I would like to know what needs to be done before the correct transport file needs to be imported in the system. Is there any way to backout the wrong transport? Or should we remove the programs manually before the import so that correct versions of the program are created?

Hello Kushal,

Depending on the SNOTE version installed on your system, you can implementation cancel of the correction instructions.

You can import the correct files of your versión to overwrite objects with errores.

Dictionary objects like structures you'll have to adjust them manually but have version management and can return to the previous versión

I hope you help.

Thanks for your response Pau. The note 1173540 has three parts, namely import of transport files manually, automatic corrections, and manual adjustment of DDIC structures.

Only the first part has been implemented i.e. import of transport files manually . ( The transport contains DDIC objects and new programs which contains some codes which is incompatible with 4.6c)

So no question of reverting back the note, as the automatic code corrections has not taken place by SNOTE.

What I now want to clarify is, if I import the correct transport files, then will it overwrite the erroneous versions of the programs contained in the previous files, or should I have to remove the programs altogether from the system before I import the correct transport files.

Hello Kushal,

if you import the correct transport files and mark overwrite original objects in transport options you

will overwrite the objects and will correct.
