Missing table entry in TADIR

[S_Sriram]

Hi,

We have ERP 6.0 EHP 6.

Recently we refreshed our SBX system from our Dev system backup.

Our finance team tried to use the tcode XD01, and they immediately got the below dump:

Our developer further investigated and mentioned that his objects are missing entry in the table TADIR.

Can someone help understand what might have caused this, and how to fix it?

Another thing I noticed is that the total number of entries of the same table do not match between the source and target systems.

We reviewed our refresh procedure, the DB restore did not have issues, the steps we performed didn't have anything to do with this table.

After the refresh, we applied a HR support pack (which is still in "Perform adjustments" state) and kernel upgrade, but I don't think they had anything to do with this issue.

The object exists in the system, however it is missing the entry in the TADIR.

FYI, this is not a local object, this object has been released and being tested in QA.

Also, there is an entry for it in the Source (dev) system, but not in the target system(sbx) after refresh.

thanks

Nanda

Hi Nanda.

After system refresh from QAS to sandbox system post installation activities are completed?

Dear Nanda,

what Netweaver basis is your system and please give a short overview about how you did the refresh,
e.g. Refresh to an existent target system using R3load based export/import...

Hi Nanda,

I added some additional secondary tags to your question ("SL Toolset System Provisioning" and "Software Logistics"), as this is almost certainly related to the system refresh you performed. As others have commented, please provide more details about what method of system copy you used.

Cheers,
Matt

We used the database backup/restore method.

There was no error during the DB restore.

I sent the SWPM logs to SAP as well, there were no errors.

We imported only the users back, so there was no other client copy activity.

Hi Nanda,

Without knowing what method was used for the refresh we are just speculating.... In a standard backup/restore you should not be missing any entries in any tables, sounds to me like someone is calling a client export/import a refresh which it is wrong.

We used backup/restore, that is why we are flabbergasted because there were no errors in any of the steps.

We sent the logs to SAP as well, and they mentioned that there were no errors in SWPM logs.

thanks
