    WS_TOOL173 End of After Import of object R3TR WEBI &1

    typically occurs during transport or import activities involving Web Intelligence (WebI) objects in SAP BusinessObjects or SAP BI platform integrated with SAP systems.


    Explanation of the Message

    • Message ID: WS_TOOL173
    • Text: End of After Import of object R3TR WEBI &1
    • Object Type: R3TR WEBI (Transport object type for Web Intelligence documents)
    • &1: Placeholder for the specific WebI object name or ID

    This message is an informational or status message indicating the completion of the "After Import" phase for a Web Intelligence object during a transport or import process.


    Cause

    • The message itself is not an error, but rather an informational message indicating that the post-import processing of a Web Intelligence document (WEBI object) has finished.
    • It appears in transport logs or import logs when WebI documents are imported into the SAP system or BI platform.
    • If this message appears alongside errors or warnings, it may indicate issues with the WebI object import, such as:
      • Missing dependencies (e.g., universes, connections)
      • Version incompatibilities
      • Transport inconsistencies
      • Authorization or system configuration problems

    When is this message seen?

    • During the import of transports containing Web Intelligence reports (R3TR WEBI objects) in SAP BI or SAP NetWeaver systems.
    • In the transport logs or import queue logs.
    • After the import process completes the "After Import" step for the WebI object.

    Solution / Recommended Actions

    1. Check the Transport Logs:

      • Review the full transport or import logs to see if there are any preceding or subsequent error messages related to the WebI object.
      • WS_TOOL173 itself is informational; look for errors or warnings around it.
    2. Verify Dependencies:

      • Ensure that all dependent objects (universes, connections, data sources) required by the WebI document are present and correctly transported.
      • Missing dependencies can cause the WebI object to fail or behave unexpectedly after import.
    3. Check Version Compatibility:

      • Confirm that the WebI document version is compatible with the target SAP BI platform or SAP NetWeaver version.
      • Incompatibilities can cause import issues.
    4. Authorization and System Configuration:

      • Verify that the user performing the import has the necessary authorizations.
      • Check system settings related to transport and import of BI objects.
    5. Re-import or Re-transport:

      • If issues persist, try re-exporting and re-importing the WebI object.
      • Sometimes transport files can get corrupted or incomplete.
    6. SAP Notes and Support:

      • Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WS_TOOL173 or WebI transport/import issues.
      • Example SAP Notes that might be relevant:
