• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM_UI121 - PFCG Mapping: '&1' has no persisted ABAP artifacts ?

  The SAP error message ACM_UI121 indicates that there is an issue with the PFCG (Profile Generator) mapping for a specific role or authorization object. The message states that the specified role (represented by &1) does not have any persisted ABAP artifacts associated with it. This can occur in various scenarios, particularly when dealing with authorization roles and their associated transactions or objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing ABAP Artifacts: The role you are trying to access or use does not have any associated ABAP objects (like transactions, reports, or function modules) that have been persisted in the system.
  Role Configuration Issues: The role may not have been properly configured or assigned the necessary authorizations.
  Transport Issues: If the role was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing artifacts.
  System Upgrade or Changes: Changes in the system, such as upgrades or modifications, may have led to the loss of associated artifacts.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Role Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction PFCG and check the role configuration for the specified role. Ensure that the necessary transactions and objects are assigned to the role.
  If the role is missing necessary transactions, add them and save the changes.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Role:
  
  If the role is corrupted or missing critical information, consider recreating the role from scratch or copying it from a similar role that has the required artifacts.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  If the role was transported, check the transport request to ensure that all necessary objects were included. You may need to re-transport the role or manually add the missing artifacts.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the role. Sometimes, the issue may arise from insufficient authorizations rather than missing artifacts.
  
  
  
  System Consistency Check:
  
  Run consistency checks in the system to identify any discrepancies in roles and authorizations. You can use transaction SU25 to perform such checks.
