BA021 error message after SP application

[Former Member]

Hello to all!

After applying a SP, there has been some problems involving a number of "Z" trx. copies of standard reports (for example MI07). The main difference between these is that the "Z" uses archiving techniques.

Whilst running these "Z" reports the message BA021 appears with the text "Control program 5 unknown". The number varies: it can be 5, 15, 71, etc.

Debugging I found out where is this message displayed: it is raised from method GET_SESSION_ADMIN, which is called from FM ARCHIVE_GET_NEXT_RECORD.

Does anyone know how can I resolve this?

Regards.

This is exactly the reason why people should shy away from cloning standard programs. Looks like you might have to re-clone your affected Z programs. Did you check if the standard versions changed compared to the older version before SP upgrade?

I know that is not the best practice to make a "Z" program from a standard, but it was already made a long time ago and I cannot redo it.

The most strange thing is that in the Development Environment it works ok, but in QAs Environment fails.

Any clues?

Since the error is in a custom clone I am doubtful if members here can help you on that.

PS: So sad that you have to clean the mess of some lazy developer. Have been there myself and hated it.
