How to Unlock Objects from Transport Request

I saw many Times people faced the problems while collecting the Transport objects Due to following reasons.

1) Some objects are locked due modification done by multiple persons

2) Some projects have there own Bex transport that means for each BEx query or workbook modification it will sit in particular transport only

While collecting the Objects or single query system will tell us the Warning message

If we are ignoring this and send the transport request as it to Qa it will give the error code8.

So we need to collect all dependant objects while sensing the request to next system.

Here are the steps to unlock objects

Copy request number from warning message and go to TCode -> SE03

Open Requests/Task folder and double click on Unlock Objects (Expert Tool)

Put your request number and click on execute button.

Click on Unlock it will unlock all objects from this request. Now you can delete required objects from this request in SE01.For Bex Transport usually delete all the objects because it’s difficult to identify objects of which query.

Check in SE01

Before Unlock

After Unlock

Select rows and click on delete button. After this you can collect the Objects in your request.

Remember that while collecting the objects you should get green icon @ screen

      Same information here: http://scn.sap.com/docs/DOC-31394

       

      Generally, be careful using SE03 and deleting objects from transports directly. If you don't know what you are doing, you can really screw your system up.

      Hello Matthew,

       

      It is an old entry but your comment made me think. When the Transport is not ours, we definitely can't delete it. We must discuss with author and decide on best course. Can you please elaborate a little on 'screwing the system up' comment?

      If you use SE03 in an indiscriminate manner, and delete some items from transports, then when you import that transport, you can end up with inconsistencies. These can range from syntax errors to (with some objects), to objects actually becoming corrupted, necessitating aid from SAP to fix.

      Ok, thanks. I have been lucky till now with BW systems, in that such errors are easy to fix.

      Good Document and thanks for sharing.

       

      Object deletion is a dangerous task as it may screwed up the concern transport and eventually lead to system issue as well. 

       

      as a precaution before deletion, we may take a backup of said TR which may reduce the possible impact.

      Hi Ganesh ,

       

      I need an information here. But first of all thanks for sharing this doc.
      I have a TR where i have multiple objects (say).  OBJ1, OBJ2, OBJ3
      Now i want obj3 to be removed from this TR so I need to unlock the TR right?
      Now once i unlock and remove the OBJ3  will it impact the other two objects present in the TR . after removing  the OBJ3 what then we need to do so that the TR becomes consistent for transport.

       

      Many thanks

      Hi,

      Thanks for your feedback.

      If its new infoobjects in single transport request and you want to remove one infoobject form your transport then you can unlock the request and delete that one infoobject if its independant object then it will not impact to your TR and then collect that object in new transport request.

      Hi Ganesh,

       

      Thanks for reply ,
      I could carry out all the steps and now I could successfully remove the object which by mistake i inserted into another TR. I have removed the object by the said method and its okay now as i could collect it another TR. well its not in BI must tell you. I am in ECC where the view i created for a custom DS i saved it in the TR where i have collected the changes i made earlier to the standard LO datasource..

       

      Regards!

      Hi Ganesh  Bothe,

       

      what will happen in this case from Aparajit Banik's TR which has only OBJ1 and OBJ2 now and let's imagine this TR needs to be transported, so the objects are not locked anymore, right?

      If ObJ is not required to move and independent of obj1,obj2 then his TR will move without error and obj3 will not be trasported in next system.

      Hi SAP BI,

       

      What you suppose to do, you expand the transport reuest, if you taking about infobject, than you can see from the child TR the object name, you can delete from SE10 at your TR no.
