TG485 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TG - Messages for Upgrade Repository Switch

• Message number: 485

• Message text: Selected combination cannot be used: Restriction is ignored

What causes this issue?

You have chosen an empty list as a set of objects (either by explicitly
selecting an empty set or by selecting another set that contains no
objects, for example, by using the option <ZH>Use number of objects
determined from prev. run</>, when these objects do not exist.
You have also excluded objects generated before the upgrade from your
selection.
You cannot exclude any entries from an empty set. The external list of
programs generated before the upgrade (REPLIST) could be opened,
however its contents cannot be used.

System Response

The system lets you ignore the warning. However, there are no objects
in the list of programs that you want to generate.

How to fix this error?

Choose another object selection, or change your restriction criteria.
If you just want to regenerate the programs from the external file
REPLIST (the programs generated before the last upgrade) then choose
the empty set as your starting point. Then select the option
<ZH>Regenerate generated objects before upgrade</> while specifying the
path to the external file.
For more information, see the description of the program RSGENLOD or
the transaction SGEN.
