1. An SAP BI system landscape
2. You have three systems, DEV, QAS, and PRD
3. You have a stand-along system SBX (Sandbox System)
4. You don't have any backups scheduled on SBX

What would you do?

Following is what you can do:

Option One: If backups are scheduled and available by any chance, then restore the system, point-in-time to the original state.

OR

Option Two: Undo those changes, manually. One by one, which could be very time consuming.

OR

Option Three: Find the original obejcts from either of DEV, QAS, and PRD systems and collect them in a transport request and move that request to SBX at OS level.
