How To Fix RG105 - Variants for program &1&2 could not be imported

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RG - BW generation tool: Messages

• Message number: 105

• Message text: Variants for program &1&2 could not be imported

What causes this issue?

The source client could not be uniquely determined with the import
follow-up treatment from program &V1&&V2&.
The following clients are available: &V3&
The target client is &V2&.
The program belongs to program class '&V4&' (see tables RSSGTPCLA and
RSSGTPCLAT).

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Background:
In this case we are dealing with generated programs for client-specific
meta objects (for example, Report Writer report groups). With these
programs the program name contains the client in which the program was
generated as a 3 digit suffix (position 28 - 30). The variants are
exported with the valid program names in the source client when
exporting. They are first loaded into the target clients with these
program names when importing. If the source and target client vary, the
program name must be adjusted to the valid name in the target client in
the import follow-up treatment.
The program class gives you information as to which application the
program is assigned to.
Possible causes:
Variants, that were generated in another client, have been manually
created in the source client.
An unforeseen error.

System Response

The import follow-up treatment for program &V1&&V2& was terminated and
the program name of the imported variants was not adjusted to the
target client.
These variants to be imported cannot, therefore, be used in the target
client. The old variants are, however, still available.

How to fix this error?

Contact system administration.

Procedure for System Administrators

Please proceed as follows:
Determine the source client from which the transport order was
exported.
In the source client (and only there!) delete all variants for program
&V1&<client>, where the suffix <client> differs from the source client.
Transport the variants for the affected program anew.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RG105 - Variants for program &1&2 could not be imported ?

  The SAP error message RG105 indicates that there was an issue with importing variants for a specific program. This error typically occurs during the transport of variants from one system to another, such as from a development environment to a production environment. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information for this error:
  Cause:
  
  Missing Variants: The variants for the specified program may not exist in the target system.
  Transport Issues: There may be issues with the transport request itself, such as it being incomplete or not properly released.
  Authorization Issues: The user performing the import may not have the necessary authorizations to import the variants.
  Program Not Found: The program specified in the error message may not exist in the target system or may have a different name.
  Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the data between the source and target systems.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Variants: Verify that the variants for the specified program exist in the source system and are correctly defined.
  Transport Request: Ensure that the transport request containing the variants is complete and has been released properly. You can check this in the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10).
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user performing the import has the necessary authorizations to import variants. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by reviewing the user roles.
  Program Verification: Confirm that the program name in the error message matches the program in the target system. If the program is missing, you may need to transport it as well.
  Manual Import: If the automatic import fails, you can manually create the variants in the target system using transaction SE38 or SE93.
  Check Logs: Review the transport logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the failure.
