Missing Report Library 6O1

[Former Member]

Hello All,

We have had report painter library 6O1 suddenly go "missing" from our production system. We recently upgraded to ECC 6.0 and the library was there post upgrade. We have checked to see if a user accidentally deleted it..but there is no reference in the logs to any of the GR* transactions. The library still exists in all the development and test systems, so it wasnt a transport issue (checked those logs too just in case -- no reference to the GRW* objects in a transport since the upgrade).

My questions are...

Has anyone ever had this happen?

Is there another way to delete a library besides the GR* transactions (GRR2, GR24 etc)?

Any help/insight is appreciated!!!

Thank you!!

Hi all,

the libraries can disappear due to the automatic transport. Please see SAP Note #780707. This note also contains a correction to switch off the automatic transport which was introduced with release 4.5A.

Hi,

You can always restore it via GR27/GR28 transactions.

We know how to restore it...we just want to make certain it doenst happen again. We want to close whatever gap it was that allowed that library to be deleted!!!

If it's not some 'black hole' (which happens in every software), then the transaction you mentioned are the only one to delete a library through user interface.

Thanks for the feedback!! All I can say is that it is really really strange!!

Hi

Exactly the same thing happened to us today. Library 1VK suddenly went missing in Production. So we just imported it from Development client. We couldn't figure out why it happened in the first place. Like you, we had also recently upgraded to ECC6.0

Strange indeed..

The same happened in our recently upgraded to 6.0 production system. We have restored library 601 from recent copy of production. So far we were unable to pinpoint how did it get deleted.

I've actually seen a library "vanish" if a user selects "stop transaction" during report execution. No lie.
