What causes this issue?

You tried to run an XPRA report online.
The reports RSXADR01, RSXADR02 and RSXADR03 run only in the 4.0
upgrade.

System Response

The system cancels the program.
This happens when the profile parameter transport/systemtype is
'CUSTOMER' and the function module 'SUBST_GET_SOURCERELEASE' raises an
exception, which always happens outside the upgrade.

How to fix this error?

You must not call the programm outside the upgrade.
The upgrade log says which data the report had converted during the
upgrade. The data in the source tables were not deleted, so they can be
displayed and checked in the standard table display.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AM764 - XPRA must not be run online ?

  The SAP error message AM764, which states "XPRA must not be run online," typically occurs when you attempt to execute an XPRA (eXecutable Program for Rapid Action) program in an online session. XPRA programs are designed to be run in the background, not in an interactive session.
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is that the XPRA program is being triggered in an online mode, which is not allowed.

  Use Transaction SM37: 
  
  Go to transaction SM37 (Job Monitoring).

  Schedule the XPRA Job:
  
  Use transaction SE38 or SA38 to execute the XPRA program.
  Enter the name of the XPRA program you want to run.

  Check Job Status:
  
  After scheduling, you can monitor the job status in transaction SM37 to ensure it runs successfully.
