How To Fix ESH_IEF_MSG015 - Release all transport requests before activating software component &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ESH_IEF_MSG - Import/Export Framework

• Message number: 015

• Message text: Release all transport requests before activating software component &1

What causes this issue?

Software component &v1& cannot be activated for programm-based SWC
transport because a transport request has not been released (&v2&).

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?

Release all existing transports containing object catalog entries of NW
Enterprise Search object repository entries.

Procedure for System Administrators

Changes to the object repository technically result in generated ABAP
programs. Thus the modeling metadata is serialized as a self-extracting
program. Workbench requests are used to deliver the programs.
All object repository imports (based on those programs) are listed in
the import log (transport). Object repository updates are transported by
SAP service packages or SAP Notes.
The previous transport mechanism used customizing transport requests
(transport object SEST).
