ABAP program generation after tp import

[Former Member]

After a transport was imported successfully into production the program screen did not look the same as in non-production. To correct - the code was regenerated manually. I thought the tp import did this for you? Whan I look at the log I see:

Generation of programs and screens for transport request DV4K220113

on application server er3db04

Only generates programs with LOAD versions

Program ZHELP successfully generated

Database COMMIT executed

Generation of programs and screens

End date and time : 20090220094647

Ended with return code: ===> 0 <===

Any ideas whay a manual regen was necessary? Thanks all.

Hai,

It is always not recommended to transport changes into Production system when users are working with the objects you are trying to change with the help of transport. This will cause in version mismatch and lead to some inconsistencies. This can also lead to LOAD_PROGRAM_LOST kind of dumps in the system.

I guess the problem would have occured in the application servers since the buffers would have not been synchronized with the Central instance. To avoid these kind of circumstances you can transport important changes into Production during off peak hours or regenerate the program or sync the buffers between the application servers. Synchronizing the buffers should be done in the off peak hours while doing this the other application servers (if you have 2 or 3 application servers) which does not have the buffer problems should be down.

I was thinking something w/ buffers - but then when I regen'd manually the code was fine - so not sure if that is the case.

Hai,

There should have been some version mismatch which made the screen look different from the other systems. Did you check the version of the program before regenerating the program manually?

Did you get dump or system logs related to this? Any swaps in Program buffer?

Did you get dump or system logs related to this? No

Any swaps in Program buffer? There are many.. over 50K and looking at the contnts the program is in there.
