The SAP error message
/SMB/TRANSP_INFRA240 Lifecycle Operation Removed due to Priority
typically occurs in the context of SAP's Software Logistics and Transport Management. This error indicates that a lifecycle operation (such as a transport request) has been removed or canceled because it was deemed to have a lower priority compared to other operations.Cause:
- Priority Settings: The transport request or operation you are trying to execute has a lower priority than other pending operations. SAP manages multiple operations and prioritizes them based on their settings.
- System Load: If the system is under heavy load, the transport management system may prioritize certain operations over others, leading to the cancellation of lower-priority tasks.
- Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the transport management system that dictate how operations are prioritized.
Solution:
- Check Priority Settings: Review the priority settings of the transport requests involved. You can adjust the priority of your transport request to ensure it is processed.
- Use transaction code
SE01
orSE09
to check the transport requests and their priorities.- Monitor System Load: If the system is under heavy load, consider scheduling the transport operation during off-peak hours when the system is less busy.
- Re-Submit the Operation: If the operation was removed, you may need to re-submit it manually after ensuring that it has the appropriate priority.
- Review Transport Logs: Check the transport logs for any additional information or errors that may provide more context on why the operation was removed.
- Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on transport management best practices.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
