Empty message, when lock multiple systems in Systems & Groups	When locking multiple systems in Systems & Groups, if the lock button is clicked a second time, then an empty pop-up message is displayed.	The program has been corrected.	Configuration	SC-1146
Indexes on systems with HANA DB are not effective	In systems with HANA DB the multi-column indexes are not effective, they should be deactivated. Upgrade of the system to NW 7.40 with HANA DB.	The indexes are excluded for HDB.	NW/S4 platform specific issues, Performance	SC-709
Saving the Special Aspects with SAP objects takes too long	Saving the Quality Assurance takes a very long time if SAP objects are selected and activated in the Special Aspects.	The reason for this was that the table index was not used. The code was changed to use the existing index.	Performance, Quality Assurance	SC-1149

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!	Queues/Proposals	SC-1139
Special Job is not created	The special JOB for transports in signature status is not created.	The program has been corrected.	Queues/Proposals	SC-1206

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	The program “/RTC/TM_IMPORT_SCANNER” is obsolete, report “/RTC/TM_IMPORT_SCANNER_MAIN” has to be used instead, by scheduling it from TM 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.	Tools	SC-1208
Short dump RAISE_EXCEPTION in Program /RTC/SAPLTM	Short dump at the call of function module /RTC/TM_MESSAGE_GET_TEXT when exception NO_T100_FOUND was raised. The exception wasn’t caught in the code. The exception is raised when a message is not found for the desired language.	If the message is not found for the needed language, then an additional check will be done if the message exists in English and if is not found the exception NO_T100_FOUND will be raised. The program was modified to catch the exception.	UI	SC-1155
