Create deletion entries for BW objects in transports

[former_member404861]

Hi experts,

I present to you the following scenario:

An InfoObject Catalog was created in DEV. This InfoObject Catalog was transported to QA. It was then deleted in the DEV environment, but the transport that the deletion was collected in was deleted before moving it to QA. So we now have an InfoObject Catalog in QA that does not exist in DEV anymore, and no way of transporting this change to QA.

My question is, is it possible to recreate this deletion entry in a transport without recreating the objects and deleting them again?

Thanks,

Hi Jameel,

Is TR rollback an option in your landscape. Check out BASIS help to carry this out. A* system client opening and direct deletion of IOCatalogue is another option. Not very sure about recreating a deleted entry.

Hi Amit,

Thanks for your reply.

I don't think rollback is an option as the transport with the InfoObject Catalog contained other objects we will need. In addition to that, we are hoping for a "clean" solution, and would like to avoid going in and deleting it manually, although it is an option if the deleting transport doesn't work.

Hi Mawji,

with basis team help, Try to do reverse transport mean Qua(collect objects into Tr) to Dev.Actually this not followed in general.

Later collect deleted obejcts from dev and  move to qua to delete them.

Hello,

Do you  have an alternate system[sandbox], where you can create a new TR of type: "Transport of copies" create the same IO catalogue there and using tr of copies, import this to D* system.

Then follow the same D-->A approach to delete the IOcatalogue.

Hi Mawji,

         I agree with Ram's Ramanjaneyulu Korrapati suggestions above, Reverse Transport from QA to DEV would solve it. Also check if they have any plan for system copy from QA to DEV - Even this will solve and both QA and Dev will be in sync.

Thanks,

Hi Jameel,

Please try the following.

Create a transport request of type workbench and manually include the following:

Program ID: R3TR

Object Type: IOBC

Object Name: <enter here the InfoObject Catalog technical name>

Then release the transport.

I expect that it will end with return code 4 with in the log a warning message like "object does not exist, it will also be deleted in the target system".

Best regards,
