Transport failing as object not overwriting in targte system

[ross_goodman]

Hi All,

I have an infostructure to which I have added some fields. When transporting this new dictionary definition to QA the transport is failing with return code 8, which tells me the object could not be overwritten during the import. It does not however tell me why it could not be overwritten. Can anyone tell me if there is anything I have to do particularly to get the import working.

Cheers,

Ross Goodman

Hello Ross

I am not sure whether "infostructures" are DDIC objects that are treated in a specialised way. However, you could try to use special <b>Import Options</b> (see transaction STMS) like:

- Overwrite Objects in Unconfirmed Repairs
- Ignore non-permitted Table Class
- Overwrite Originals

This options already imply possible reasons for the import failure:

- the object has been repaired

- the object has a different source system

If you are not familiar with import options just ask a colleague from your basis team. They will (or should) know for sure.

Ross,

Sometimes when u are adding structures in between, you may need to manually adjust the table from SE14. But check with your basis team, they should be able to help u.
