• Message number: 420

• Message text: Not configured; edit table CWBVDBSCFG in SID &1; see long text

What causes this issue?

The note implementation test is not configured correctly in the version
database system <(>&<)>V1<(>&<)> for the software component <(>&<)>V2
<(>&<)>. This means that the system cannot test the note implementation
for the chosen release.

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?

Notify the system administrator of the system &V1& (see CSS -> IT
Support -> Internal SAP Systems). Enter the system ID <(>&<)>V1<(>&<)>.
(You can enter an IT/IBC message for this system under #Support &
Documentation#.)

Procedure for System Administrators

The table CWBVDBSCFG must be configured in system <(>&<)>V1<(>&<)> for
the software component <(>&<)>V2<(>&<)>. To do this, you must insert a
line with PAKID = <(>&<)>V3<(>&<)> and the correct TYP.
For integrated systems, TYP is #I#. In an integrated system, versions
are created by the export. This is the case when the version database
server is integrated into the consolidation system.
Choose #S# for separate systems. A separate system is a version database
system in which the versions are created by using SPAM to import Support
Packages.
