What causes this issue?

The properties of an after-import method (AIM) are not correctly
maintained. For more information about this check, see
<DS:TX.SZDM_CC_GENERAL_ZDO>here.</>
The after-import method (AIM) metadata object of transport object &V2&
type &V3& is undefined or has been created incomplete. In the second
case, either the ZDO status is not set to a value which guarantees ZDO
enablement or the attributes of at least one of the accessed tables are
not properly defined.
You can maintain the required properties of AIMs in a
<DS:TX.SCTS_AIM_REPOSITORY>Repository for Meta Data of After-Import
Methods</>.

How to fix this error?

Check and make sure that the data accessed by the AIM cannot be changed
by the productive system during the upgrade. Confirm the ZDO enablement
only in case this can be guaranteed.
To confirm the ZDO enablement for the AIM, perform the following steps:
Call transaction SOBJ_EXT.
Under "Object", enter &V2& and under "Type", enter &V3&.
Choose "Continue".
Choose "Used Database Tables".
Check completeness of the tables and whether the attributes
<DS:DE.OB_LOCK_MODE>"Lock mode"</> and <DS:DE.OB_ACCESS_TYPE>"Access"</>
are correctly maintained. Lock mode "Undefined" is considered as not
yet ZDO enabled.
Choose "Extended Maintenance".
Enter an appropriate value in the column "ZDO status"
<DS:DE.STATUS_ZDM>(Possible ZDO values)</> as a confirmation, that the
after-import method is completely ZDO enabled.

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