• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TL163 - Partial import selected ?

  The SAP error message TL163 ("Partial import selected") typically occurs during the transport of objects in the SAP system. This message indicates that a transport request has been marked for partial import, which means that not all objects in the transport request will be imported into the target system.
  Cause:
  
  Partial Import Setting: The transport request was configured to allow partial imports. This can happen if the transport request was created with specific objects selected, or if certain objects were excluded from the import.
  Transport Layer Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer or configuration that prevent a full import.
  Dependencies: Some objects in the transport request may have dependencies that are not met in the target system, leading to a partial import.
  Manual Selection: During the import process, the user may have manually selected to import only certain objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request: Review the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects are included. You can do this by using transaction code SE09 or SE10 to view the transport request details.
  Full Import: If a full import is required, ensure that the transport request is not marked for partial import. You may need to adjust the settings or create a new transport request that includes all necessary objects.
  Dependencies: Verify that all dependencies for the objects in the transport request are met in the target system. If certain objects are missing, you may need to transport those objects first.
  Import Options: When performing the import, ensure that you are not selecting the option for partial import unless it is intentional.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to transport management for additional guidance on handling transport requests and imports.
