Former Member — Wed, 18 Mar 2009 15:45:10 GMT

Hi guyz,

Wanted to delete unused programs knew theres a function module which does it (RS_DELETE_PROGRAM), but the thing is wanna create a transport which includes all this deletion programs so when I release that to other systems it automatically deletes the programs in it.Please advise?

Thanks

If you have a list of programs that you want to delete, paste the selection values in SE90 "program library -> programs", execute, check all entries, select "programs -> delete" from the menu, then click "delete all" on the subsequent popup. No program necessary for this purpose, I guess. A transport is being generated.

Hi,

Try doing this:

- attach all components of the program (program itself and its includes) to your transport using write trasnport entry option in se80

- use your program to delete it in DEV system

- send your transport to QUA system. As you removed the program each change will be noticed in the transport entry you did, hence this should send its deletion.

Try that out with one program first. If works, proceed with the rest.

Marcin

Is there a long text for this error message? What does it say? Are you trying to include transportable objects in a local request or local objects in a transportable request or development objects in a customizing request?

Did you create it as a local program in package $TMP? This cannot be transported.

Also, you did not actually delete it in your steps, was that intended? (step 5 should be "delete", not "transport").

This means that ZPROGRAM is flagged as local object and can't be assinged to anyy transport request. You can only transport non-local ones.

System will prompt you to enter transport each time you do a change to a Repository object. As deletion the program is kind of change, it will pop up after it.

When mass deleting through SE90 as described, the system will ask you for a transport request as part of the processing. Just try it out.
