Extractors failing after copy-back

We are currently testing support packs and to do this our ERP prod system was copied back to our QA system. I’m not on the ERP side, so i’m not sure how that was done.

Now when I kick of a job, i’m getting an error from an extractor that works fine in prod:
3404 5844 R3C-150412 11/04/2013 12:38:36 PM RFC CallReceive error <Function Open: RFC_ABAP_RUNTIME_FAILURE-(Exception_Key: SYNTAX_ERROR)- Syntax error in program
3404 5844 R3C-150412 11/04/2013 12:38:36 PM CL_ODQ_UTILITIES==============CP .[SAP NWRFC 711][SAP Partner 701 ][QAS][AUSAPQAS][dservices][1100]>.

Is there any reason you can think of as to why this would have happened ? We are running the same version of data services in prod and QA, so the transports should be the same.

It is possible that the support packs have caused this issue, but I need to rule out other possible issues first.

Thanks.
Leigh.

Has to be an issue inside the ODP API of SAP.

Thanks.

Is there anything I can do ? Is it likely to be an issue caused by the copy-back, or should I suspect the support packs are the culprit ?

Is there any point trying to re-install the transport files ? If so, is there a newer version than the one that comes with the installer ?

I’d start with the SAP Notes for the ODP API, yes. Part of the DS functions is a test ABAP program that simulates the calls DS is doing. Can you locate it?
(DS 4.1 ABAP functions!!)

I think Werner refers to this:

Update: We found that BI/BW was broken by this also. We have been able to reproduce the issue in another environment, so we now know the support packs have caused the issue. We are planning on re-implementing note 1521883 if we can and seeing where that gets us.

I’ll let you know how we go.
