How To Fix ESH_IEF_MSG125 - SW Comp. &1 has to be up to date (cl. &3) for prog.-based SWC transport

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ESH_IEF_MSG - Import/Export Framework

• Message number: 125

• Message text: SW Comp. &1 has to be up to date (cl. &3) for prog.-based SWC transport

What causes this issue?

Model data has to get retrieved from client 000 first, before modeling
can start in other clients (this will be triggered automatically when
launching transactions ESH_COCKPIT or ESH_MODELER ). After that the
import of pending model updates ( generated programs ) has to be
completed successfully.

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?

Go to Modeler and check if the import of the SWC &v1& is completed
successfully. If errors were reported during the import, solve them
before you return to registration for program-based software component
transport. Select the SW Comp. &v1&, click menu 'Actions' and select
'Import Log (Transport)').
If the import job is still running, wait for its completion.

Procedure for System Administrators

The name of the import job is &v2& (see transaction SM37).
