SAP notes 1081287 and 1083109

Reason and Prerequisites

During the application of support pakage with the transactions SAINT and SPAM, the system sees that there are strippers active, and the following error message

In the case of ST-PI ST / A-PI you can proceed with a skip

For all other ignoring the error can result in loss of data

How to proceed.

1. Delete the setup tables.

To prevent the system from BW going to act directly on the ERP tables, the initial load or full, it creates the setup tables. At the fury of the initial load or full these tables are not used. You can delete them without loss of data.

To understand what "application" delete

SE38         RMCEX_SETUP_ENTRIES

In our case

To delete them you can use either the bins that the transaction LBWG

2. Empty queues

Each time a user / batch editing an entry, the change is recorded in a queue. Until then the system is in motion, the code will continue to be created. For this reason it is appropriate to proceed with the upgrade at a time in which you can disable access to users.

DO NOT DELETE THE CODE HAND BUT PROCESS THEM

To process the queues need to run the programs RMBWV302 and RMBWV306.

In the production are scheduled JOB

LIS-BW-VB_APPLICATION_02_120

LIS-BW-VB_APPLICATION_06_120

Run the JOB and check that all queues have been processed

Process queues does not mean sending them to the BW system, but simply move the data into other areas, will then be recorded in BW with uploads nightlife.

Caution! Transactions LBWE and LBWG be performed on the principal of which are to be scheduled queues, in our case 120.

If the queues are empty, then you can proceed with the UPGRADE.
