An emergency transport of changed and potentially loaded objects into a running SAP system is always thrilling for the one pressing the button in STMS.
For SAP it is quite easy, they just tell not to do so.
So I thought to start a blog and log import problems. Maybe it will help others a little to reduce the thrill.
As this is always kernel dependent, I add the kernel. And if you contribute your fails or successes, please also add the kernel version of your system.
Kernel 745 / 753
Import of public components DDIC (e.g. Tables/Structures) , public class components (CPUB) / Interfaces are risky and can result in a dumps of like
LOAD_PROGRAM_CLASS_MISMATCH, LOAD_PROGRAM_INTF_MISMATCH, LOAD_TEXTPOOL_LOST
Import of DDIC translations lead to a generation of dependent DDIC objects and therefore to new timestamps
Import of pure code LIMU REPS, LIMU METH, LIMU FUNC seem to work.
Major import failures:
A (new) implicit enhancement in the source code of a SAP class lead to many short dumps.
Customizing transport FI validations (GGB0) led to failure in "Method Execution" ( generation of depending programs ). Since then we check the methods of the customizing object in transaction SOBJ.
