  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WB_VERSIONING006 - Version List of Object &1 &2 is outdated ?

    The SAP error message WB_VERSIONING006 indicates that the version list of a specific object (identified by &1 and &2) is outdated. This typically occurs in the context of transport management or version control within SAP systems, particularly when dealing with objects in the Workbench.

    Cause:

    The error is usually caused by one of the following reasons:

    1. Outdated Version List: The version list for the specified object is not up to date, which can happen if changes have been made to the object in the development environment but the version list has not been refreshed.
    2. Transport Issues: If the object has been transported to another system (like from Development to Quality Assurance), the version list in the target system may not match the source system.
    3. Inconsistent Data: There may be inconsistencies in the database or the transport directory that lead to the version list being considered outdated.

    Solution:

    To resolve the WB_VERSIONING006 error, you can take the following steps:

    1. Refresh the Version List:

      • Go to the transaction code SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) and try to refresh the version list for the object in question.
      • You can also use transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to check for inconsistencies and refresh the version list.
    2. Check Transport Requests:

      • Ensure that all relevant transport requests have been released and imported correctly into the target system.
      • Use transaction STMS (Transport Management System) to monitor the transport requests and their statuses.
    3. Recreate the Version List:

      • If the version list is corrupted, you may need to recreate it. This can often be done by deleting the outdated version and allowing the system to regenerate it.
    4. Check for Locks:

      • Sometimes, objects may be locked by other users or processes. Check for any locks on the object and resolve them.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. There may be patches or updates that can resolve the issue.
