Under certain circumstances it can happen that objects delivered by ProNovia are subsequently renamed or deleted again by ProNovia. In this case, the deleted objects are normally also delivered in the product kits with the corresponding "deletion marker". However, due to the logic that SAP uses when handling objects to be deleted in transport requests, this is technically not so easily possible.
It can therefore happen that obsolete objects are not removed from the system, sometimes on customer systems. In principle, this is not a problem, since these objects are also no longer used in the products. However, when importing new product kits, such obsolete objects are sometimes also checked, although they are neither contained in the transport request nor have a use. In particular with source code objects it is quite possible that such obsolete objects can no longer be compiled depending upon changes in the products, because they become faulty. In this case, a problem may be claimed when importing product kits.
Usually it is sufficient to manually remove the affected object from the system after consulting ProNovia. To simplify the process the report /PRONOVIA/RSCHECKCONSISTENCY is delivered, which performs a consistency check on a product. The objects that are still relevant for a product are determined on the basis of the last imported product transports and then compared with the objects available on the system. Objects that were no longer included in the last transport are shown as obsolete and can be deleted directly with the report.
The report must not be used without consulting ProNovia. The list of objects to be deleted must be checked in any case, since the selection of the delta is based exclusively on name patterns and thus errors may be detected. Note that objects are irrevocably deleted. While the objects can be restored without problems by importing the corresponding product kits, any data (in the case of tables) is lost in any case!
The check report is attached to the article and can also be created manually in the Z namespace. In addition, the following text symbols and selection texts must be created for the report.
