Note 1081287 - Data extraction orders block the upgrade process
Summary
Symptom
SPAM or SAINT: In phase CHECK_REQUIREMENTS, open data extraction orders are reported.
Other terms
CHECK_REQUIREMENTS, open data extraction orders
Reason and Prerequisites
Open data extraction orders
You notice that there are still open data extraction orders in the system. You want to process these before the start of the object import because changes to the ABAP Dictionary structures could lead to data extraction orders not being able to be read after the import and their processing terminating.
Solution
Before the upgrade (import of a queue), all extraction queues and open update orders in all clients must be processed. The content of the setup tables must be deleted. To avoid this problem during the upgrade or to correct it, carry out the following steps:
1. Call transaction SMQ1 and check whether all queues in all clients (client = '*', queue name 'MCEX*') have been processed. To process the queues, start the collective run report for each application in the displayed clients. If you no longer need the data in the BW system, deactivate the relevant extraction queues and DataSource in the LO cockpit (transaction LBWE) and delete the queue entries in transaction SMQ1.
2. If you use the V3 update that is not serialized (usually only for application 03): Start collective run report RMBWV303. Then check the update orders in transaction SM13. If there are incorrect update orders in transaction SM13, correct the orders and then start the collective run report again. If you no longer require the update orders, you can delete them. There may be inconsistencies between tables VBMOD and VBHDR. For further information about this, see Notes 652310 and 67014.
3. Before the upgrade, delete the contents of the setup tables. Execute report RMCEX_SETUP_ENTRIES to find out which setup tables still contain entries. You can use transaction LBWG to delete the contents of the setup tables for all clients.
Unfortunately the check that the system carries out during the upgrade or when you import a Support Package does not display all affected applications. Therefore, Note 1083709 provides a check report that you can use to determine all affected applications and tables or queues.
