• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMC_IU033 - Import is not possible as upgrade transport &1 has not been exported yet ?

  The SAP error message DMC_IU033 indicates that an import operation cannot proceed because the upgrade transport request specified (denoted by &1) has not been exported yet. This typically occurs in the context of system upgrades or when using the Software Update Manager (SUM) for system maintenance.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Export: The transport request that is required for the upgrade has not been exported from the source system.
