How To Fix SCTS_HOT584 - Skipped packages (prework not yet done): &1

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SCTS_HOT - Messages for HANA Object Transport

• Message number: 584

• Message text: Skipped packages (prework not yet done): &1

What causes this issue?

The system detected that required prework in this system was not done.
The packages in question were not deployed.

System Response

Displays the packages that were not deployed, since the prework for
these packages is missing.

How to fix this error?

If you want to use the functions in the non-deployed packages, perform
the prework in question. Contact your software provider to find out
which prework is required.
After you have done the prework, repeat the import (if the packages in
question were not already deployed in the prework). To find out whether
the packages in question were deployed in the prework, call transaction
SCTS_HTA and display the packages. These are the packages with the entry
'Prework missing' in the log.
If the status of the packages is green (@5B@ - 'Package/object is in
sync'), the packages were already deployed to the SAP HANA repository.
You do not need to repeat the import.
If the status is gray (@BZ@ - 'Package/object cannot be synchronized'),
the packages were not yet deployed to the SAP HANA repository. In the
detailed view of a package like this, 'Status in ABAP' contains the
information 'I (inactive) - Not yet deployed to SAP HANA Repository'.
Import the transport request with the non-deployed packages again.
