• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_IEF_MSG073 - Not all changed SW components can be used program-based SWC transport ?

  The SAP error message ESH_IEF_MSG073 indicates that not all changed software components (SW components) can be used for program-based software component (SWC) transport. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Integration and Extension Framework (IEF) when attempting to transport changes made to software components.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  Inconsistent State: The software components may be in an inconsistent state, meaning that some components have been changed while others have not, or there are dependencies that are not met.
  Transport Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the transport configuration settings, such as missing or incorrect transport routes.
  Version Mismatch: The versions of the software components in the source and target systems may not match, leading to compatibility issues.
  Missing Dependencies: Some components may depend on others that have not been included in the transport request.
  Transport Layer Restrictions: Certain components may have restrictions on being transported in a program-based manner.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  Check Component Status: Verify the status of the software components involved. Ensure that all necessary components are included in the transport request and that they are in a consistent state.
  Review Transport Configuration: Check the transport configuration settings in the SAP system. Ensure that the transport routes are correctly set up and that there are no missing configurations.
  Validate Versions: Ensure that the versions of the software components in the source and target systems are compatible. If there are discrepancies, you may need to update or synchronize the components.
  Include Dependencies: Make sure that all dependent components are included in the transport request. You may need to manually add them if they were not automatically included.
  Use Correct Transport Method: If certain components cannot be transported using the program-based method, consider using a different transport method (e.g., customizing transport) if applicable.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance on transport issues related to software components.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with the TMS, as it plays a crucial role in managing transports between different SAP systems.
  SAP Help Documentation: Refer to the official SAP Help documentation for detailed information on software component transport and the Integration and Extension Framework.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to seek advice from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
