How to clear objects from Package

[Former Member]

Hi experts,

I am creating a transport for deletion of a software package in object navigator...

Until now I have erased all objects in the package except a hand full of objects for which I have no idea to delete them.

The content of the package in object navigator is empty but if I take a look for available objects of the mentioned package via se10 there are few objects remaining.

Customizing IMG Activity

Customizing Transactions

Customizing Attributes

  Definition of a Maintenance an

The Customizing root nodes are not existant any more.

I have no Idea to delete this remaining objects via transaction...

Does anybody here have an idea or transaction for that issue?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Fabian,

You could try transaction S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY. 

The objects you list were probably created from transaction S_IMG_EXTENSION, but when they are deleted from the IMG structure in this transaction it does not delete the object as well.

Hi Nick,

thanks for your response! Your hint regarding S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY helps me to clear the IMG activities. But still need tips to clear all other objects... Not easy to find those secret transactions... 🙂

Thank you!!

Hi Fabian,

I was expecting S_CUS_IMG_ACTIVITY to clear not only the Customizing IMG Activity, but also the Customizing Transactions and Customizing Attributes, as they are closely related objects.

For the 'Definition of a maintenance and transport object' I'd point you to transaction SOBT.

In my own experience of clearing down packages for deletion I've found there were some useful SAP notes, using the message number generated when SE80 blocks the deletion of an 'empty' package yielded the best results.

Hi Nick,

Thanks for your hint to transaction sobt. When I try to delete package in se80, i always get this message:

The package still contains subobjects

Message no. PACKAGE_BUILDER01406

There are still some objects remaining in the package...

But have no idea to locate and delete them... 😞

I also released the transport with all other objects from the package, which I have deleted before.
