CNV_MBT_SHELL115 - Overview

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: CNV_MBT_SHELL - Shell Creation

  • Message number: 115

  • Message text: No .ext file found in export directory; load of table size not possible

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    The system cannot find .EXT files in the export directory. The system
    expects the .EXT files in the export directory under .../ABAP/DATA.

    System Response

    The system cannot load the table size from the .ext files, and cannot
    estimate the database size for the shell system.

    How to fix this error?

    Check whether the .EXT files exist and where they are located. If the
    files exist move them to the expected directory (.../ABAP/DATA/) to run
    this activity.
    If the .ext files do not exist check the "Export Preparation" step of
    the Software Provisioning Manager. It might be that no .ext files were
    created. If this is the case, the optional steps to estimate a target
    database size cannot be performed. Note that it is still possible to
    manually set the target database size in the activity <ZK>Finalize
    Database Size of Shell System</>, and proceed with the shell creation
    process.

    Procedure for System Administrators

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