  SAP Error Message: W3016 - The release of Report &1 for the Internet has been reset
  
  1. Cause
  This warning message occurs when the release status of an ABAP report for Internet usage has been reset. In SAP, reports can be released for execution in different environments, including the Internet (e.g., via SAP Enterprise Portal or web-based access). The release status controls whether a report is allowed to be executed in such environments.
  The message indicates that the release flag for the specified report (&1 is the placeholder for the report name) has been reset, meaning the report is no longer marked as released for Internet execution.
  This can happen due to:
  
  Changes in the report code or attributes that require re-approval or re-release.
  Transport or system copy activities that reset the release status.
  Manual reset by a developer or administrator.
  System upgrades or patches that affect report release statuses.
  
  
  2. Solution
  To resolve this warning, you need to re-release the report for Internet execution if it is intended to be used in that environment.
  Steps:
  
  
  Open the ABAP Editor (Transaction SE38 or SE80):
  
  Enter the report name (&1 from the message).
  
  
  
  Check the Release Status:
  
  Go to the menu: Program ? Release for Internet.
  If the report is not released, you will see an option to release it.
  
  
  
  Release the Report:
  
  Select Release for Internet.
  Confirm the release.
  
  
  
  Save and Activate the Report:
  
  After releasing, save and activate the report.
