Domain activation Upgrade or transport stops in phase ACTUPG

Domain activation: Upgrade or transport stops in phase ACTUPG

During the SUM tool execution phase, the shadow system upgrade or transport (importing Support Packages or EHP Installer) stops due to activation errors. A domain cannot be activated because it contains duplicate fixed values, resulting in the following error message:

DO197 "Fixed value / lower limit & reoccurs"

The relevant fixed value was maintained in a domain append in the customer system. However, this fixed value is now provided by SAP.

As with all appends in the Data Dictionary, domain appends are the unmodified option for changes in the customer system.

Appends are therefore not handled during the comparison. This issue very rarely occurs during an upgrade since there are no customer namespaces or techniques for obscuring duplicate values for domain appends (unlike other objects).

Solution:

Call transaction SE11 and branch to the maintenance screen of the relevant domain. On the tab page for fixed values, adjust or delete the customer append that contains the new value provided by SAP.
