• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS084 - Aspect &1 is not of type: PFCG_AUTH but of type: &2 ?

  The SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS084 indicates that there is a mismatch in the expected type of an object in the authorization management context. Specifically, the error states that the aspect (or object) you are trying to work with is expected to be of type PFCG_AUTH (which refers to authorization objects in the Profile Generator) but is instead of a different type, denoted as &2.
  Cause:
  
  Type Mismatch: The primary cause of this error is that the system is expecting an authorization object but is receiving a different type of object. This can happen if there is a misconfiguration in the authorization settings or if the object being referenced is not correctly defined.
  Incorrect Object Reference: The object you are trying to access or modify may not be correctly defined in the system, or it may have been changed or deleted.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport that caused the object to be incorrectly defined.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Type: Verify the type of the object you are working with. Ensure that it is indeed a PFCG_AUTH type. You can do this by checking the object in transaction PFCG (Profile Generator) or using transaction SU21 (Authorization Object Maintenance).
  Correct Configuration: If the object is not of the expected type, you may need to correct the configuration. This could involve redefining the object or ensuring that the correct object is being referenced in your authorization settings.
  Review Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, review the transport logs to identify any errors or warnings that may indicate what went wrong during the transport process.
  Recreate the Object: If the object is corrupted or incorrectly defined, you may need to recreate it. This can involve deleting the incorrect object and creating a new one with the correct specifications.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to authorization management and the specific object types to ensure compliance with best practices.
