• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AIMMERGER_SHD083 - AIM for &/& not executable in shadow system. Setting E071 lockflag to 2. ?

  The SAP error message AIMMERGER_SHD083 indicates that there is an issue with the transport management system (TMS) in a shadow system, specifically related to the transport request that is not executable. This error typically arises during the transport of changes from a development system to a production or shadow system.
  Cause:
  
  Lock Flag Issue: The error message suggests that the transport request has a lock flag set to 2 in the E071 table. This means that the transport request is locked and cannot be executed in the shadow system.
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow it to be executed, such as being in a "modification" or "in process" state.
  Shadow System Configuration: There may be configuration issues with the shadow system that prevent the execution of the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Lock Flag: 
  
  Use transaction SE11 to view the E071 table and check the lock flag for the transport request in question. If it is set to 2, you may need to change it to 0 (unlocked) or 1 (locked for transport).
  You can do this by executing an SQL update statement in the database (ensure you have the necessary authorizations and backup before making changes):
  UPDATE E071 SET LOCKFLAG = '0' WHERE TRKORR = '<your_transport_request>';
  
  Note: Directly modifying database tables is not generally recommended and should be done with caution.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Request Status: 
  
  Ensure that the transport request is in a valid state for execution. You can check the status of the transport request using transaction SE09 or SE10.
  If the request is in a "modification" state, you may need to release it or resolve any issues preventing it from being executed.
  
  
  
  Review Shadow System Configuration: 
  
  Ensure that the shadow system is correctly configured in the TMS. Check the transport routes and ensure that the shadow system is properly defined as a target system.
  Verify that the transport directory is correctly set up and that there are no issues with the transport paths.
  
  
  
  Re-import the Transport Request: 
  
  If the above steps do not resolve the issue, you may need to re-import the transport request into the shadow system. This can be done using transaction STMS.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: 
  
  Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance.
