How to Undo changes already inclued in a Transport Request

Scenario:

  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
  5. You are making some changes in SBX
  6. You keep including those changes in a transport request in SBX
  7. At one point you realize that some or all of those changes in a particular transport request isn't necessary or they MUST be reverted.
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.

Good luck!

  1. This may be an ascient post though there is a far leaner approach, there are add-on tools available which allow an instant rollback of transports. Out of experience we actually now it also works.
