why not delete it in the test environmwent and then progress the transport through to production.

Hi,

1.You can delete the program via another Change Request or

2. Ask your BASIS to open the prod system & delete it directly.

I would prefer option 1.

1 option is always recommended .

Otherwise in t-code SCC4 you can modify the system if you have proper authorization. you can also access this transaction using SALE . ( Watch point :don’t try to change any thing ) I just told you as an information .

Thanks

As the others have suggested, you should delete it in DEV and transport to PRD; then in DEV you can use version management to retrieve the version that was mistakenly promoted, modify it and transport when ready.

Hey Rob, surely you can't use version management on a report that has been deleted. How can you do that?

Neil - try this:

Create a program in your development system and assign a development class. Save and activate it. This will raise a transport. Release the transport (but since this is just a test, don't transport it anywhere).

Delete the program. This will raise another transport. Release it as well.

Create another program with the same name as the one that was deleted. This creates another transport. Go to version management, select the bottom entry and press the retrieve button. It'll tell you that it's going to overlay the program you just created. Say ok and you should have the program that you deleted.
