CNS040 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CNS -

• Message number: 040

• Message text: An entry in the receiver customizing settings uses the overwrite scenario

What causes this issue?

The entry in Customizing table TCNS_SET_RECV for receiver "&V1&
" for export object type "&v2&" and the application ID "&v3&" in client
"&v4&" uses the overwrite scenario (indicator HIST_REQ is not set). This
scenario is no longer supported by CNS. The corresponding Customizing
entries and any corresponding existing change pointers were still
realized.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

This message is intended as information for you that the overwrite
scenario is no longer supported at this point.
If applicable, note the affected combination of client, application ID,
export object type, and receiver, so that you can check in the context
of the corresponding application whether the overwrite scenario was
deactivated in the respective application. However, it is more likely
that the HIST_REQ indicator is entered incorrectly.
