Failed export is partially successful

Symptoms

When you export a number of business process changes to SAP Solution Manager, an export might fail although the error log files for the export report that only the last step in a series of export steps failed, while all the preceding steps were successful.

Causes

The web service API for SAP Solution Manager does not support multiple-operation transactions, and the export is not an atomic function.

Resolving the problem

This is a known limitation in SAP Solution Manager for which there is no workaround. The transaction changes that were exported and committed successfully cannot be reversed with a rollback.
