I've just finished updating our SolMan 7.1 system from sps8 to sps10 and am now running through the various post-update activities in SOLMAN_SETUP. In Basic Configuration, step 7 (Maintain Systems in IBase), the automatic activity IBase Preparation is failing with a warning which does not allow me to proceed to the following activities. In particular, the messages are:
- The Ibase component 00000000000000168 has deviceid: QP1 xxxxxxxxxx
- Sort string is needed!
- System could not be found in LMDB nor in SMSY!
QP1 is an obsolete system that we deleted some time ago, so I wouldn't actually expect to find it in LMDB. However, obviously this component 168 that is related to it still exists in IBase and is causing problems.
I can run AI_CRM_ANALYZE_IBASE_SORTF in SE38 and get the same messages (this is the program that the IBase Preparation step actually runs). I tried running AI_CRM_DEL_NOT_USED_IBASE_COMP to delete the component, but it fails to find it, nor anything related to QP1. AI_CRM_PRODUCT_DELETE and AI_CRM_OBJECT_DELETE also do not find it.
I tried AI_CRM_IBASE_CONSISTENCY from Note 1933019, and while that showed a lot of yellow lights for other things, it had nothing at all for QP1.
I'm at a loss for where to go looking for this ghost data and how to clean it up and proceed, so I'll be grateful for any pointers that lead to a resolution.
Best regards,
Matt
