  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message W3_TOOL107 - HTML template & is not in the upgrade ?

    SAP Error Message:
    W3_TOOL107 HTML template & is not in the upgrade


    Cause:

    This error typically occurs during an SAP system upgrade or when applying support packages, particularly related to Web Dynpro or ITS (Internet Transaction Server) components. The message indicates that a specific HTML template, which is expected to be part of the upgrade or patch, is missing or not found in the upgrade package.

    In other words, the upgrade process is trying to reference or update an HTML template (used for Web Dynpro applications or ITS services), but that template is not included in the upgrade files or the system repository. This can happen due to:

    • Incomplete or corrupted upgrade package.
    • Missing transport or patch that contains the required HTML template.
    • Custom or modified templates that are not recognized by the standard upgrade.
    • Version mismatch between components (e.g., Web Dynpro, ITS, or BASIS).

    Solution:

    1. Check Upgrade/Support Package Stack:

      • Verify that all required support packages and patches for Web Dynpro, ITS, and related components are correctly imported.
      • Ensure that the upgrade stack is complete and no transports or patches are missing.
    2. Verify Template Existence:

      • Use transaction SE80 or SE41 to check if the HTML template mentioned in the error exists in the system.
      • If it is a custom template, ensure it is properly transported and compatible with the new system version.
    3. Re-import or Repair Upgrade Files:

      • If the upgrade files are incomplete or corrupted, re-download and re-import the upgrade or support package.
      • Check SAP Notes related to the upgrade for any known issues or patches.
    4. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Search the SAP Support Portal for notes related to W3_TOOL107 or the specific HTML template name.
      • SAP Notes may provide corrections, manual steps, or patches to fix the missing template issue.
    5. Check for Custom Modifications:

      • If the system has custom HTML templates or modifications, verify their compatibility with the upgrade.
      • Consider backing up custom templates and reapplying them after the upgrade.
    6. Consult Upgrade Logs:

      • Review the upgrade logs for more detailed information about which template is missing and at what step the error occurs.
      • This can help pinpoint the exact cause and required action.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:

      • SE80 (Object Navigator) – to check and manage HTML templates.
      • SE41 (Menu Painter) – sometimes used for UI elements.

    • Components Involved:

      • Web Dynpro ABAP (WDA)
      • Internet Transaction Server (ITS)
      • SAP Basis (for upgrade and patch management)
    • SAP Notes:

      • Always check the latest SAP Notes on the SAP Support Portal for your specific SAP version and the error message.
      • Example search terms: W3_TOOL107, HTML template missing upgrade, Web Dynpro upgrade issues.

    Summary:

    The W3_TOOL107 error indicates a missing HTML template during an SAP upgrade, usually due to incomplete upgrade files or missing components.
