Deleting the custom package from system

Former Member — Thu, 06 May 2010 15:07:29 GMT

Hello All,

I have created a custom package and added few custom programs.

I have deleted the custom program first, they were deleted successfully.

At last I try to delete the custom package, I am getting a message as "The package still contains subobjects".

But actual all the objects related to package were deleted.

Please let me know how to delete the custom package completely from the system?

Thanks,

Feroz.

The object directory entries of the deleted programs are probably still present. Try releasing the transport request with the deleted programs, then you should be able to delete the package as well.

Display the package in SE80. That will list all the sub-objects as well.

or I think you may remove the package (and its lock) from the transport request, delete the object directory entry of the package (SM30 TADIR), then you can delete the package. Or vice versa (I don't remember exactly).

Can TADIR be changed via SM30? (Cannot try right now)

I always used the SE03 tools for this.

Maybe I misread this. Is the problem removeing objects from a package or a transport?

Yes Thomas, that's the same (SE03 "change object directory entries" starts SM30 TADIR).
