How to Delete an ABAP Program?

Former Member — Thu, 20 Oct 2005 05:21:43 GMT

How to delete an ABAP program that is in the SAP Production Server using a Transport Request. Why I am asking this is I want to maintain consistency between the Production & Development Box and I don’t want to open the Production Box just to delete the ABAP Program. Once the ABAP Program in the Development Box is Deleted a Transport Request should be made when Transported to the Production it should delete the ABAP program in the Production Box.

Thanks,

Kishan

Kishan,

You woule never simply delete the program in thr PRD system.

Delete the program in the DEV system which will ask for a transport. When you import the transport into your TST and PRD system the object will ten be deleted.

Hi Kishan,

When you delete the program using SE38, the system will prompt you for a request. You can migrate the same to production.

Sasi,

If you are concerned that the system won't ask for a transport, do a minor change to the program (which will definately ask for a transport) then delete the program via SE38 / SE80.

Cheers,

Pat.

Ofcourse this is possible and Kishan is on the right path. In the request , in the objects list you will see a column "Function". This will be set to "D" ( delete ) when you delete a program. With the help of this field only the transport system knows what to do in the target system . This field is set automatically with correct value when you delete or change an object . Do an F1 help on this field for more details on other values.

Cheers.
