Variants Missing after Transport

[Former Member]

Hi Gurus -

I enhanced existing Report by adding new Variables to existing one and changing on of the varibale from regular Characterist Value Variable (Multiple, Optional) ( Tech name: ZCHARVAR) to Heirachy Variable ( ZHIERVAR).

My user had varinat for the InfoObject when the varibale was Characterist Value Variable (Multiple, Optional) ( Tech name: ZCHARVAR). But when I changed it and send the transport to Production, the variant is there but not populating the variable field for that that specfic info Object.

My queation is: For the same InfoObject - when we change the variable type does it automatically migrate? Is there any procedure to do it? If I want to get the variants for my user what should I do?

I checked the table RSRVARIANT, RSRVARIANTDIR, RSRVARIANTTXT and they are empty.

Thanks for help.

Hi Sonali If your modifying anything related to the existing variable such as type in your case it wont allow you to use the existing variant . either you have to recreate the variant or you have to reinsert the value and made it save as then only it will take. Hope its clear a little..! Thanks K M R

Thanks Guys.

Is there anyway, I can figure out who craeted/deleted the variants? So I can contact my users.

Points assigned.

Hi Sonali,

Variants cannot be transported, you have re-create them in each environment.

Hope it helps!
