Cause

When a transport is done from source tenant to target tenant, the system compares the XML of any relevant mashups in the source and target tenant. If the XML is the same, no action will be taken. If it is different, then the mashup in the target tenant will be deleted and re-created with the XML of the source tenant mashup. Before deletion, it checks the usage and throws the error messages.

Resolution

To delete the usage in the target tenant:

  1. Go to the Administrator Work Center and open the Mashup Authoring View.
  2. Select Mashup ID XYZ (where XYZ is the relevant mashup).
  3. Select the Usage tab.
  4. It will display the screen file path to which the mashup has been added to.
  5. You can go to the affected screen and start adapatation mode to remove the mashup, then save and end adaptation.
  6. Activate the transport request afterwards.
