Checks after phase PREP_IMPORT/TOOLIMPD

Question

Hi All
We are installing EHP4 SP6 in our ECC 6.0 system. Weu2019ve created a .xml file in our solution manager and calculated a download queue with the MOPZ. The installation is on a Windows 2003 32 Bit platform with a SQL server 2005 SP2 DB.
In roadmap step 2 (Extraction) the installation stops with the message: u201CChecks after phase PREP_IMPORT/TOOLIMPD were negative! Last error code set: Unresolved requests in buffer <SID> Check logfiles 'TOOLIMPD.ELG' and 'H:\EHPI\abap\log\SAPehpi.ECO'
During executing this job RDDMASGL a shortdump is generated:
What happened?
Error in the ABAP Application Program
The current ABAP program "RADMASG0_C3" had to be terminated because it
Has come across a statement that unfortunately cannot be executed.
The following syntax error occurred in program "SAPLSDMP " in include
"RADMASUTC " in line 4146: "The data object "DELTAB" does not have a component called "MAINOBJEX"."Note 1449201 - Index becomes extension index: Index is deleted
discripes the error/solution.
I think the error arise after implementing note: 1449201, but Iu2019m not sure.
In the note:
"Make sure that you note the manual prerequisites. If these are required in your system, you may not under any circumstances implement this note without adjusting the structure DDGENTAB. Otherwise, syntax errors would occur in the report RADMASUTC and then Dictionary activation would no longer be possible.
If errors occur when you implement the correction instructions or when you perform the manual pre-implementation steps, open a message under the component BC-DWB-DIC and refer to this note. Allow SAP Support to have access to your system."
For about the solution we have to contact SAP. Iu2019ve created a SAP message and Iu2019m still waiting for a solution. Did anyone had this problem before and what was the solution?
Thanks in advance for your reply.
Kind Regards,
Rik Hut

Hi Rik,
I've just had a near-identical problem whilst trying to install support packs onto our BI 7.00 Test system. I found that my problem was because someone had performed a TP IMPORT ALL into the BI Test system, which imported all the modification adjustment transports from the SP import in the BI Development system too early.
I fixed the problem by logging onto the BI Development system and looking at the version management for the object that was generating the syntax errors. I found a reference to the original transport for the object and re-imported it into the BI Test system to overwrite the latest version, which shouldn't have been in the Test system in the first place!
I don't know whether SAP would recommend this approach because I don't know what side-effects 'downgrading' the objects in that request could have. However, I do know that it has fixed the Support Package problem, and I can now run SPAM quite happily once again.
I hope this helps,
