  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message E_ACTION104 - The status &1 of the request will not allow to unhold the request. ?

    The SAP error message E_ACTION104 indicates that a request (such as a transport request) is currently in a status that does not allow it to be "unheld" or released. This typically occurs in the context of SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) when you are trying to release a transport request that has been put on hold.

    Cause:

    The error can occur due to several reasons:

    1. Request Status: The transport request is in a status that does not permit it to be unheld. For example, it might be in a "locked" state or already released.
    2. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to change the status of the request.
    3. System Configuration: There may be system settings or configurations that prevent the unholding of requests under certain conditions.

    Solution:

    To resolve the E_ACTION104 error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check Request Status:

      • Go to the Transport Organizer (transaction code SE09 or SE10).
      • Find the transport request in question and check its current status.
      • If the request is in a status that does not allow unholding, you may need to change its status first.
    2. Change Request Status:

      • If the request is in a "locked" state, you may need to unlock it. This can typically be done by the user who locked it or by a user with the appropriate authorizations.
      • If the request is already released, you cannot unhold it, and you may need to create a new request if further changes are required.
    3. Check Authorizations:

      • Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform actions on the transport request. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your permissions.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Review SAP documentation or notes related to transport requests and their statuses for any specific guidelines or restrictions that may apply.
    5. Contact SAP Support:

      • If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: SE09 (Transport Organizer), SE10 (Transport Organizer for Workbench Requests).
    • Transport Request Types: Understand the different types of transport requests (Workbench requests, Customizing requests) and their statuses.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address known issues or provide additional guidance on transport request management.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the E_ACTION104 error and take appropriate action to resolve it.
