SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: TR - Change and Transport System

• Message number: 038

• Message text: Relocation transport & has been reset

What causes this issue?

When you release a relocation transport, you change the object
directory entries of the objects in the request.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Relocations without package change, change the original system of the
objects.
Relocations with package change, change the original system and the
package of the objects.
Relocations of complete packages change the original system of the
objects, and the transport layer of the package.
These changes are now reset.

How to fix this error?

If you still want to relocate the objects (maybe to another target
system), create a new relocation transport.
