correctly maintained. For more information about this check, see
<DS:TX.SZDM_CC_GENERAL_ZDO>here.</>
The metadata object of the API &V1& is missing or 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 in a
<DS:TX.SCTS_SLAPI_REPOSITORY>Repository for Meta Data of an API called
by an After-Import Method</>.

How to fix this error?

Check and make sure that the data accessed by the API 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 API &V1& to be called by
after-import methods, perform the following steps:
Call transaction SLAPI.
Create or select the line containing &V1&.
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 "API Header".
Select the line containing &V1&.
Enter an appropriate value in the column "ZDO status"
<DS:DE.STATUS_ZDM>(Possible ZDO values)</>) as a confirmation that the
API 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.
