Hello experts,

this morning, I copied some DDIC objects from other package and then I found they are useless, so I deleted them one by one, but when I executed "package check for all objects of package", these DDIC objects I deleted displayed in result list with errors indicator. even I used "Write Transport Entry" in order to include all objects of package in one TR, these DDIC objects I deleted appeared in my new TR task again. why it happened? I already deleted them, but it seems like not thoroughly, how to delete development objects in package thoroughly?

I try to rebuild objects list, but no use.


thank you.


best regards,

felix

As already written by 0281bd377f70426e8bb9d2d0005e7762, those objects are deleted in ddic, but the 'object directory entries' will only be removed when you release the transport which recorded the deletion. (removing those objects of your original transport request doesn't sound a good idea) Look at table TADIR (or with SE03 menu 'Object Directory') Put those objects back in a transport request and release task/request (SE03, menu option 'Include Objects in a Transport Request')

The transport you recorded the object deletion in needs to be released in order for the objects to be fully removed.

If that does not help or you do not want to release the transport you may want to manually delete the object catalog entries in SE03.
