• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TN793 - Import mode 'Concurrent Version Online Import' is activated ?

  The SAP error message TN793 indicates that the "Concurrent Version Online Import" mode is activated, which can lead to issues when trying to perform certain operations in the system. This mode is typically used for importing transport requests in a way that allows multiple users to work concurrently, but it can also cause conflicts or errors if not managed properly.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the system is set to use the Concurrent Version Online Import mode, which may not be compatible with the operation you are trying to perform. This mode can lead to inconsistencies or conflicts if multiple imports are happening simultaneously or if the system is not configured to handle them properly.
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Import Mode Settings:
  
  Go to transaction STMS (Transport Management System).
  Navigate to the "Import Overview" and check the settings for the transport request you are trying to import.
  Ensure that the import mode is set correctly. If you do not need concurrent imports, consider switching to a different import mode.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Concurrent Version Online Import:
  
  If you determine that the Concurrent Version Online Import is not necessary, you can deactivate it. This can usually be done in the transport management settings or by consulting with your SAP Basis team.
  
  
  
  Perform a Sequential Import:
  
  If the concurrent import is causing issues, try performing a sequential import instead. This can help avoid conflicts and ensure that the transport request is processed correctly.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Ensure that there are no locks on the objects being imported. You can check for locks using transaction SM12 and release any unnecessary locks.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Logs:
  
  Check the transport logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue. This can help identify specific objects or dependencies causing the problem.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance on handling concurrent imports.
