• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS081 - PFCG-Aspect entry (ID = &1) is orphaned ?

  The SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS081 with the description "PFCG-Aspect entry (ID = &1) is orphaned" typically indicates that there is an inconsistency in the authorization data related to the Profile Generator (PFCG) in SAP. This error occurs when an aspect entry in the PFCG is no longer linked to a valid object or has been deleted, leading to orphaned entries.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted or Inactive Objects: The aspect entry may refer to an object that has been deleted or is no longer active in the system.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported between systems (e.g., from development to production), it could lead to inconsistencies if the transport did not include all necessary objects.
  Manual Changes: Manual changes to authorization objects or profiles that do not maintain referential integrity can lead to orphaned entries.
  System Upgrades or Patches: Sometimes, system upgrades or patches can lead to inconsistencies in the authorization data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify the Orphaned Entry: Use transaction code SUIM (User Information System) or PFCG to identify the specific aspect entry that is causing the issue. The ID of the orphaned entry will be provided in the error message.
  Check for Validity: Verify if the object associated with the aspect entry still exists and is active. If it has been deleted, you may need to recreate it or remove the orphaned entry.
  Delete Orphaned Entries: If the orphaned entry is no longer needed, you can delete it directly from the PFCG transaction. Navigate to the relevant role and remove the orphaned aspect entry.
  Recreate Missing Objects: If the object is required but missing, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup or transport request.
  Consistency Check: Run a consistency check for roles and profiles using transaction PFCG. This can help identify and resolve other inconsistencies in the authorization data.
  Transport Management: Ensure that all necessary objects are included in transport requests to avoid inconsistencies when moving changes between systems.
