Object: Original object cannot be replaced

michael_teran — Tue, 03 Jul 2012 22:47:36 GMT

Hi,

I have an Requests with some objets (a search help ) when I import to QAS everything is ok. My problem is When I import to PRD. It shows an error "original object cannot be replaced". SAP proposes to follow the procedure (If you still want to import the object, repeat the import with Unconditional Mode 2)

I read some web pages they recommend to re-import but changing the option Overwrite Originals ... and I did it .... the result it was the same ... the same error

Can anybody know how to solve my problem?

THanks

Hi Michael,

First please make sure this request has only customer objects Z, Y

Put the request in the stms queue again and try importing with the options below:

Hi Michael,

I still keep all same options, this should work, I've been through a similar situation in past and was well resolved.

In doubt, please check each option in detail in the SAP help link below:

For me it didn't.

But I found out that the objects that wouldn't import had their original system set to production, not development.

I set system change option to modifiable in production first (in SE03).

I changed the objects' original system to development (also in SE03, Change object directory entries), in both development and production.

and transported the objects again.

This, plus doing what was explained here already, did the trick for me.
