Transports · Transport Dependency Analyzer
Subclass or implementing class imported before or without its superclass / interface
- Default severity
- Critical
- Finding code:
- TR_INHERITANCE_DEPENDENCY_RISK
- Engine version:
- 2.1.0
What this finding means
Transport Dependency Analyzer reports this finding with the default severity “Critical”.
About the engine: CTS transport sequence & cross-transport dictionary dependency validator
How to fix it
Import the transport (or deploy the commit) containing the superclass / interface first, or add it to the import queue; a class cannot be generated while its superclass or implemented interface is missing or outdated in the target (activation error, RC 8).
How ERP Preflight detects it
The analysis is deterministic: the same exported files and the same knowledge snapshot always produce the same findings. No SAP system connection is required — you upload exports.

- Accepted formats
- JSON, CSV, XML
- What to export
CTS transport metadata: CSV export of E070/E071/E071K with a TRKORR header row, JSON {'transports': {TRKORR: ['TABL ZTAB', …]}, 'e070': [...], 'e071': [...], 'call_references': [...], 'seometarel': [...], 'wbcrossgt': [...], 'planned_sequence': [...]}, XML with <E070>/<E071> sections, or the cloud-aware gCTS / abapGit adapter JSON {'adapter': 'GCTS', 'commits': [{id, parents, timestamp, objects | files}], 'planned_sequence': [commit ids]}.
- Required input
- At least one transport request (or gCTS / abapGit commit) with its object list
- Evidence
- Each finding points to the artifact path, line and column, the code snippet and the SHA-256 of the uploaded file. Findings without such a pointer are demoted to confidence UNKNOWN.
- Confidence
- At most RULE_DERIVED (0.85): the verdict rests on SEOMETAREL relation types / program include naming (structural relation semantics), a curated catalog that is not verified against an official source.
