• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOI652 - Table &1: Classification changed from &2 to &3 because of detected import ?

  The SAP error message SOI652 indicates that there has been a change in the classification of a table due to an import operation. This typically occurs when a transport request is imported into the SAP system, and the system detects that the classification of a table has changed from one type to another. The message provides the following details:
  
  &1: The name of the table that has undergone a classification change.
  &2: The previous classification of the table.
  &3: The new classification of the table.
  
  Cause
  The cause of this error message is usually related to the following scenarios:
  
  
  Transport Changes: A transport request that includes changes to the data dictionary (like changes to table definitions) is imported into the system. If the changes affect the classification of a table (for example, changing a table from a transparent table to a pooled table), the system will generate this message.
  
  
  Inconsistent System State: The classification change may indicate that there is an inconsistency between the development and production environments, especially if the transport was not properly managed or if there were manual changes made in the production system.
  
  
  Versioning Issues: If different versions of the same table exist in different systems, importing a transport that modifies the table can lead to classification changes.
  
  
  Solution
  To resolve the SOI652 error message, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Review Transport Request: Check the transport request that was imported to see what changes were made to the table in question. You can do this by using transaction code SE09 or SE10 to analyze the transport logs.
  
  
  Check Table Definitions: Use transaction SE11 to view the table definitions and confirm the expected classification. Compare the definitions in the development system and the production system to identify discrepancies.
  
  
  Re-import or Adjust: If the classification change is not intended, you may need to revert the changes by re-importing the previous version of the transport or manually adjusting the table definition to match the expected classification.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review any documentation related to the transport request to understand the rationale behind the changes. This can help determine if the change is acceptable or if it needs to be rolled back.
  
  
  Testing: After making any changes, ensure thorough testing is conducted to confirm that the system behaves as expected and that there are no further issues related to the table classification.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide guidance on handling classification changes.
