How To Fix PAK199 - Superpackage &1 not allowed due to switches with varying assignments

PAK199 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: PAK - Package API / Package Tools

• Message number: 199

• Message text: Superpackage &1 not allowed due to switches with varying assignments

What causes this issue?

The new superpackage &V1& cannot be assigned due to switches with
varying assignments.
The previous superpackage &V3& is assigned to switch &V2&.
Package &V1& is not assigned to any switch.
If switch &V2& is deactivated, a change to the superpackage would result
in activation of all switchable objects of the current package &V4& as
well as its subpackages.
This is a completely incompatible change that is not supported,
particularly when transporting the package change.
Using the transaction <DS:TRAN.SFW_BROWSER>Switch Framework Browser</>,
you can display the switched objects. Use the search function in the
transaction to locate the package or the switch.

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?

If there are no switchable objects in the package hierarchy yet, the
change to the superpackage is non-critical and the superpackage can be
changed by a user with structure package authorization.
