Rescue Obsolete Variants

After the SAP upgrade, suddenly one of our schedule job terminated with the following error message.

Variant ZXX_SXXX_MRP of program RMDLDR00 is not the current version
Message no. DB634

Diagnosis

You attempted to start report RMDLDR00 using variant ZXX_SXXX_MRP. Since this variant was generated, the report SELECT-OPTIONS or PARAMETERs have changed considerably, i.e. the type or length no longer match and PARAMETERs have become SELECT-OPTIONS or vice versa. Many of these changes are so serious that even attempting to import the variant results in runtime errors.

Procedure

Adjust or delete the variant.

Therefore, I do the following in order to rescue back the obsolete variants.

Step 1:

Go to tcode SE38 and filled the program name.  Then click Goto -> Variants

Rescue Obsolete Variants

Step 2:

Fill in your Obsolete Variants and Click Variants -> Adjust

Step 3:

Leave the default field SYSVAR = X and Execute

Now you will be able to access your obsolete variants.
