• Message text: HDI containers that reference the deleted HDI container &1:

What causes this issue?

The import of the transport request deleted the ABAP-managed HDI
container &v1&. This container is still, however, referenced by other
HDI containers.

System Response

The system specifies the HDI containers that reference the deleted HDI
container &v1& in the following lines.

How to fix this error?

Check whether the specified HDI containers exist. You can do this by
using transaction SCTS_AMHC.
If these containers exist, the references to the deleted HDI container
must be removed in the specified HDI containers. Perform this action in
the development system and transport it into the current system.
Check whether the references were already removed in the development
system. You can do this by using transaction SCTS_AMHC. Enter a
specified ABAP-managed HDI container and choose <LS>Display</>. The
deleted HDI container &v1& should no longer be specified under <LS>
References to Containers/Schemas</>.
Proceed as follows, depending on whether the reference exists in the
development system or not.
If the reference does not exist in the development system:
Use transaction SE03 to find the request that contains the change made
to the reference. To do this, use the function <LS>Find Objects in
Requests/Tasks</>. Choose the object type <LS>AMHC</> from the input
help. Enter the name of the logical HDI container. Select both status
values under <LS>Request/Task Selection</>. Choose <LS>Execute</>.
If the transport request that contains the change is not yet released,
release it now.
Import this transport request in the target system.
If the reference exists in the development system, proceed as follows:
RESET N2
Choose <LS>Display <(><<)>-> Change</>.
Under <LS>References to Containers/Schemas</>, select the reference to
the deleted HDI container &v1& and choose <LS>Delete Row</>.
Save the change and activate the HDI container.
Repeat this action for all specified HDI containers that have references
to the deleted HDI container &v1&.
Release the transport request with the changes in the development
system.
Import the transport request with the changes in the target system.
