ESS Support Packs

[Former Member]

We are trying to implement ESS 5.0 Support packs up to 26 and we are getting an error on a couple of our applications. Not all of them, but just the Personal Information and the W4 Update. All of the others work fine. So, I have 2 questions, first is how can I find out what objects have been affected by a Support Pack upgrade (not on R3, but on the Web Dynpro side) and the second is has anyone else gotten the following error when trying to update the personal information and what does the error mean.

Thanks in advance for your help.
