Symptom

The import of deleted configuration objects fails when the imported object has a reference to an already deleted configuration object. For instance, if one performs an import of configuration object /e.g. a deleted receiver agreement which has a reference to a deleted communication channel/ the import fails with a message that the referenced object can not be found. The expected behavior is that the import should be successful and as a result the imported object should be opened for deletion in a change list, even though its reference does not exist. Sometimes in case of inconsistent agreements the export of such agreements will fail as well
Other terms

Can not transfer a deleted configuration object from source to a target system when it contains reference to another deleted object.
Reason and Prerequisites

The reason for this failure is a program error which checks for existing references of the transported object, even though it has been deleted.
Solution

To solve this issue one should create a new object, with the same key as the reference object on the target system. Once this object is created the import / transport will pass successfully and the newly created object can be removed. Correction for this issue has been initiated and will be included in relevant patches for NW710 SP5, SP6, SP7 and SP8 and NW711 SP1 and SP2.
