How to delete existing database triggers using IUUC_REMOTE - SLT #SAP Basis Administration #SAP Landscape Transformation replication server

Note : Deleting a trigger might have a significant impact on the related project. Therefore use this option in exceptional situations only and inform the project team if you delete a trigger.

There are different possibilities on how to delete a trigger in the system:

1. using functionalities from SAP Landscape Transformation (requires authorization delivered with role SAP_IUUC_USER / FF/SAP_ALL)

2. using database specific SQL commands (requires access to database console)

 
When we can go for the triggers deletion in SAP SLT landscape, below are the few issues

  1. Inconsistent triggers
  2. Message no. CNV_IUUC_REPLICATION057
  3. Restarted replication but triggers were not recreated
  4. Trigger missing for table <table name> (mass transfer ID ###); replication suspended
  5. How to delete the existing SLT triggers

  • On the Display Functions tab, click the List Triggers button
  • The system displays a screen that contains the following default selection parameters.  Enter the table name in the below field:
















  • Click the Execute button to display the list of SLT triggers.
