Import Scanner terminates with short dump CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_TYPE after upgrade to SC

5.4.0.0

Program “/RTC/TM_IMPORT_SCANNER” is terminated with runtime error CALL_FUNCTION_CONFLICT_TYPE, exception CX_SY_DYN_CALL_ILLEAGAL_TYPE. The call to function module “/RTC/TM_JOB_SET_PERIO_FOR_PROG” is incorrect - “LV_TEXT has a field type different than the function module interface parameter EV_TEXT”.

The program “/RTC/TM_IMPORT_SCANNER” is obsolete, report “/RTC/TM_IMPORT_SCANNER_MAIN” has to be used instead, by scheduling it from TM > Global settings > Import scanner tab.

However, to support smooth upgrades from older versions, if the report “/RTC/TM_IMPORT_SCANNER” was already scheduled, at the next run after the upgrade in background mode, the report will modify the job to call the correct program.

The program has been corrected to correctly modify the import scanner job.

Import in 'SUBSET' mode returns code blank

Sometimes imports via SUBSET are logged into the TM with the return code blank and red color and marked as imported. The reimport cannot be performed via TM after this, only via STMS.

Analyzing the logs from the target system, it seems that:

• transports have not been imported - no import log exists
• RDDIMPDP job is not triggered

Import system queue using SUBSET has been enhanced to handle blank return code as error 9950 - Exception during tp call: could not specify return code.

For further troubleshooting, additional logging points have been added in the SUBSET system queue to save the results of tp commands: add to buffer and import subset (tp_retcode, tp_subrc, tp_message). The logging points can be activated by running report /RTC/R_LIB_LOGGING_MANAGER in the target system, setting Configuration > Logging level 5.
It is recommended to keep these logging points active for a short period only until the issue is reproduced. Do not forget to deactivate them!
