  • What causes this issue?

    The database systems released in the PPMS for software component release
    &V2& &V3& have not been defined in the PPMS. As a result, no values can
    be transferred to the NEEDED_DBSYS package attribute of package &V1& in
    the Software Delivery Assembler (SDA).

    System Response

    The system terminates the activity and the package status remains
    unchanged.

    How to fix this error?

    You have the following options to transfer the value of the component
    type consistently:
    If no values are required in the NEEDED_DBSYS attribute, delete the
    values in the PPMS. Then carry out the relevant activity again in the
    SDA.
    In contrast, if values are to be transferred from the PPMS, define and
    save these in the PPMS. Then register the package again in the SDA with
    the "Change Attributes" option.

    Procedure for System Administrators

    Check the NEEDED_DBSYS package attribute:
    <ZK>Transaction SSDA</> --> <LS>Administration</> tab --> specify the
    package name --> <LS>Attributes</> --> <LS>Extended Attributes</>
    Check the releases for database systems in the PPMS:
    <ZK>Transaction BOPP --> Software Components by Technical Name or
    Release --> Technical Name (Software Component)/Techn. Release (Release)
    --> Go --> Link Name of Object --> Releases --> Database Systems</>
    If necessary, contact the PPMS entry owners for software component
    release &V2& &V3&. You can find this using the menu function in SDA:
    Enter the name of the package into the <LS>Package</> field on the <LS>
    Administration</> tab and choose <ZH>Environment --> PPMS Contacts</>.
