SAP Build Process Automation: Error importing project from another BTP sub-account.

[adamharkus]

I'm trying to export a project from the SAP Build Lobby of one BTP sub-account and imported into another.

I've exported / imported the required destinations and actions fine, and deployed the actions, but on importing the BPA project, I get the following error. 

Import failed.

You cannot import this external package because editable version(s) of dependencies already exists.

Any idea what is causing this issue, or even how to track down more details on the error?

Hi @miltonc 

I don't know whether your reply was addressed to me... If so, where can I delete the dependencies? Because there's no trace of the project in the item list of the lobby. Plus, why are there 19 "residual" projects after upgrading to Build Apps standard version?

The reason why you are running into this issue is as follows...  Your application has dependencies.  So, let's assume the following.  

• Your application
  • Dependency 1
  • Dependency 2

When you export your application, the exported file (mtar) contains everything (Your application + Dependency 1 + Dependency 2).  

But what you have probably done is...

• Exported your application
• Exported Dependency 1
• Exported Dependency 2
• Imported Dependency 1 (this works)
• Imported Dependency 2 (this works)
• Imported your application (this does not work - because this already includes Dependency 1 and 2)

Fix:

• Delete Dependency 1 (if it exists in the Lobby already)
• Delete Dependency 2 (if it exists in the Lobby already)
• Import your application (this will import all 3 - Your application, Dependency 1, Dependency 2)

Hi @adamharkus,

Did you solve your problem? I am facing the same issue trying to import a project as you can see here https://community.sap.com/t5/technology-q-a/quot-import-failed-quot-error-can-t-import-project-from-...

This has become quite urgent now and noone seems to have a solution for this...

Thanks beforehand.

BR,

LM.

To resolve errors encountered when importing a project from another BTP sub-account in SAP Build Process Automation, follow these steps:

1. Check Prerequisites:

   • Ensure that the project has been exported correctly from the SAP Build Process Automation lobby or SAP Intelligent RPA Studio. The project should be saved as a ZIP file on your local system 
     (https://help.sap.com/docs/PROCESS_AUTOMATION/a331c4ef0a9d48a89c779fd449c022e7/ca98da78eb1f4d329d82b6...)

2. Import the Project:

   • You can import a project either from your local system or choose from the list of available projects (https://help.sap.com/docs/PROCESS_AUTOMATION/a331c4ef0a9d48a89c779fd449c022e7/ca98da78eb1f4d329d82b6...)

3. Troubleshoot Automations:

   • If you experience issues related to automations, thoroughly analyze the traces and check your project. Refer to the troubleshooting guide for automation (https://help.sap.com/docs/PROCESS_AUTOMATION/a331c4ef0a9d48a89c779fd449c022e7/6626409193b84c0cbf8dc0...)

4. Export Health Metrics:

   • Export health metrics for your agent to identify any underlying issues 
     (https://help.sap.com/docs/PROCESS_AUTOMATION/a331c4ef0a9d48a89c779fd449c022e7/36593c5253764792b998d6...)

5. Update Destinations for Live Content Packages:

   • If you already use SAP Build Process Automation and SAP Workflow Management and have configured SAP Build Work Zone, update the destination to use Live Content Packages 
     (https://help.sap.com/docs/PROCESS_AUTOMATION/a331c4ef0a9d48a89c779fd449c022e7/26dbc5ab6b6041f0a02c1c...)
