R3 Dataflow: Unable to upload generated program

dataservices sap-erp-bw

We’re using SAP Data Services 4.1 SP2 and we have SAP GUI 7.30 installed on all our desktops incl. our DS server. We are developing some ETL to get data out of SAP ERP.

We develop our R3 DFs against a Dev client that is open, which has very little data. We run our unit tests against a second Dev client, which is closed, to get an idea of how these R3 DFs perform. We then transport these to our UAT environment which is a copy of Production etc etc.

Generate_and_Execute against our open Dev client (120) works fine.

But when I then want to upload the ABAP program, to make it available for “Execute Preloaded” functionality in our Dev client 130, I receive this error:

It actually worked fine yesterday, the SAP GUI screen popped up to ask confirmation etc. But now I just can’t get it to work?

Is this a common issue? Has anyone seen this error message before?

This sounds like the function module is not on the correct version.
have you installed the most recent abap functions on the Source system (SAP ERP).
Basis must install those.
You can find them in your local DS installation…it should be here:
\Program Files\SAP BusinessObjects\Data Services\admin\R3_Functions\transport

Why will you have to upload the ABAP Program to each system from DS?

Use the ECC System’s transport path to get it uploaded. I believe, you can upload programs to only the Config Client and not any others. So for the 130 Config, what values you have in Development Class, Request ID & Task ID ?
