Dump CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_TYPE when deleting simulation version

I fixed a different issue with the SPP simulation version deletion via /SAPAPO/SPPSIM. Dump CONNE_IMPORT_WRONG_COMP_TYPE was raised during the deletion.

I looked further over debugging and I could see that this issue was happening due a type or length change in the parameters of a variant in program /SAPAPO/RMSNPOPT. The variant probably was created within a defined length in a previous release and the parameters length had changed in a upstream release.

How to solve it?

There are 2 options:

1. Delete the variant and create a new one – this might not be possible as the report can’t even be opened in some cases raising the same dump when trying to open it;
2. Run report RSVARDOC_610 to adjust the existing variant. You can refer to Knowledge Base Article 1953229 (S-User required) for information about how to use this report.

I hope this might help in case someone else faces this same (not common) issue with hard solution to find.
