  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WT808 - The current Release &1 not in valid range (&2-&3) ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation of the SAP error message WT808: The current Release &1 not in valid range (&2-&3):


    Error Message

    WT808: The current Release &1 not in valid range (&2-&3)


    Cause

    This error occurs in SAP when the system detects that the current software release (version) of a component or system is outside the expected or allowed range defined for a particular operation or process.

    In other words, the process or transaction you are trying to execute expects the system or component to be within a certain release/version range (between &2 and &3), but the actual current release (&1) is either lower or higher than this range.

    This can happen in scenarios such as:

    • Transport management or import/export of objects where the target system release is incompatible.
    • Version checks during upgrade or patch application.
    • When a program or function module checks for compatibility with certain SAP kernel or component versions.
    • When using certain SAP tools or transactions that require a specific release range.

    Parameters Explanation

    • &1 = Current release/version of the system or component.
    • &2 = Lower limit of the valid release range.
    • &3 = Upper limit of the valid release range.

    Typical Scenarios

    • Importing transports into a system with a different SAP release than expected.
    • Running a program or report that is designed for a specific SAP release range.
    • Applying support packages or patches that require a certain minimum or maximum release.
    • Using SAP tools (like SAP Solution Manager, SAP Transport Management System) that enforce release compatibility.

    Solution / How to Resolve

    1. Check the Current Release:

      • Use transaction SPAM or SAINT to check the current system release and support package level.
      • Use System -> Status to see the SAP system version and kernel patch level.
    2. Verify the Required Release Range:

      • Identify the expected release range (&2 - &3) from the error message or related documentation.
      • This might be documented in SAP Notes, upgrade guides, or the transport request documentation.
    3. Align the System Release:

      • If your current release (&1) is lower than the minimum required (&2), you need to upgrade your system or apply the necessary support packages.
      • If your current release (&1) is higher than the maximum allowed (&3), you might be trying to import an object or run a process that is not yet compatible with your newer release. In this case:
        • Check for updated versions of the transport or program compatible with your release.
        • Contact SAP Support for guidance or patches.
    4. Check Transport or Object Compatibility:

      • If the error occurs during transport import, verify that the transport was created in a system with a compatible release.
      • Use transaction STMS to check transport routes and system versions.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Search the SAP Support Portal for notes related to error WT808.
      • There might be specific notes addressing version compatibility issues for your scenario.
    6. Contact SAP Support:

      • If you cannot resolve the issue by aligning releases or applying patches, raise a support ticket with SAP, providing the error details and system release information.

    Additional Information

    • This error is a safeguard to prevent inconsistencies or incompatibilities that could cause system instability or data corruption.
    • Always ensure that transports and patches are applied in the correct sequence and on compatible system versions.
    • Regularly maintain your SAP system with the latest support packages and kernel patches recommended by SAP.
