  Explanation of the Message
  
  Message ID: WS_TOOL172  
  Message Text: Begin of After Import of object R3TR WEBI &1  
  Object Type: R3TR WEBI (Transport object type for Web Intelligence documents)

  This message is an informational or status message indicating the start of the "After Import" processing phase for a Web Intelligence object during a transport import.
  
  Cause
  
  The message itself is not an error, but rather an informational log entry generated by the SAP transport tool or the BI platform during the import of a Web Intelligence document.
  It indicates that the import process has reached the "After Import" step for the specified WebI object.
  If this message appears in the context of an error or failure, it usually means the import process is stuck or failing after this point.
  Possible causes for issues around this message include:
  
  Transport of corrupted or incompatible WebI objects.
  Missing dependencies or related objects in the transport.
  Version mismatches between source and target systems.
  Authorization or connectivity issues between SAP BI platform and SAP system.
  Problems in the transport tool or BI platform during the import phase.
  
  
  
  
  Solution / Troubleshooting Steps
  
  
  Check Transport Logs:
  
  Review the full transport import logs to identify if any errors occur after this message.
  Look for error messages or dump information following WS_TOOL172.
  
  
  
  Verify Object Integrity:
  
  Ensure the WebI object being transported is not corrupted.
  Export and re-import the WebI document manually in the BI platform to verify it works.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Confirm that all dependent objects (universes, connections, queries) are included in the transport.
  Missing dependencies can cause import failures.
  
  
  
  Version Compatibility:
  
  Verify that the source and target SAP BI platform versions are compatible.
  Transporting objects between incompatible versions can cause issues.
