SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ACM_UI - Message-Class for all ACM-UIs

• Message number: 031

• Message text: &1 of &2 selected ABAP artifacts are deleted (or were already deleted)

What causes this issue?

The system checks your user for the required authorizations. If you have
the required authorizations, the application deletes the artifacts
according to the operation you triggered. If you are missing the
required authorizations for some of these artifacts, then the
application only performs the operation for those artifacts for which
you have the required authorizations. Therefore only some of the
artifacts you selected may be deleted.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

The application checks authorizations against the authorization object
S_DEVELOP with the fields OBJTYPE, OBJNAME, and ACTVT.

How to fix this error?

Contact the system administrator to get the appropriate authorizations
or contact a user, who has the appropriate authorizations for the
artifacts.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM_UI031 - &1 of &2 selected ABAP artifacts are deleted (or were already deleted) ?

  The SAP error message ACM_UI031 indicates that a certain number of ABAP artifacts (like programs, function modules, classes, etc.) have been deleted or were already deleted. This message typically arises in the context of the ABAP Change Management (ACM) or during transport operations.
  Cause:
  
  Deletion of Artifacts: The most straightforward cause is that the specified ABAP artifacts have been deleted from the system. This could happen due to manual deletion by a developer or as part of a cleanup process.
  Transport Issues: If you are trying to transport objects that have already been deleted in the target system, this error can occur.
  Inconsistent State: The system may be in an inconsistent state where the metadata about the artifacts does not match the actual state in the database.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify whether the specified ABAP artifacts still exist in the system. You can do this by checking in the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 for Object Navigator).
  Transport Request: If you are working with transport requests, ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and that the objects you are trying to transport are indeed present in the source system.
  Recreate Artifacts: If the artifacts were deleted unintentionally, you may need to recreate them or restore them from a backup if available.
  Check Transport Logs: Review the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might provide more context about the deletion.
  Consistency Check: Run consistency checks in the system to ensure that the metadata and the actual objects are in sync. You can use transaction SE03 for transport management and SE11 for database object checks.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to ACM and transport management for any specific guidance or known issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE80 (Object Navigator), SE03 (Transport Organizer), and SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to ACM and transport management.
  System Logs: Review system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that could provide more context.
