• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM241 - Transport request contains &1 DDL(s) ?

  The SAP error message ACM241 indicates that a transport request contains one or more Data Definition Language (DDL) statements. This typically occurs when you are trying to transport database objects (like tables, views, etc.) that have been defined or modified in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error arises because the transport request includes DDL statements that are not allowed to be transported in the current context. This can happen for several reasons:
  
  Transport Layer Restrictions: Certain transport layers may not allow DDL statements to be included in transport requests.
  Transport Request Type: The type of transport request (e.g., customizing vs. workbench) may not support DDL changes.
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to restrict the transport of certain types of changes for stability or compliance reasons.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the ACM241 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transport Request: Review the transport request to identify the DDL statements included. You can do this by using transaction SE09 or SE10 to analyze the transport request.
  
  
  Separate DDL Changes: If the transport request contains both DDL and non-DDL changes, consider separating them. Create a new transport request specifically for the DDL changes and ensure that it is of the correct type.
  
  
  Adjust Transport Layer: If the transport layer is causing the issue, you may need to adjust the configuration or use a different transport layer that allows DDL statements.
  
  
  Use Transaction SE14: If you are dealing with database objects, you can use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to manage the objects and ensure they are correctly defined before attempting to transport them.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to transport management and DDL statements for any specific guidelines or restrictions that may apply to your system.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is a recurring problem or if it affects critical business processes.
