  The SAP error message "ACMDT_OBJSTATUS170 Entity &1 is missing in DCL metadata" typically indicates that there is a problem with the Data Control Language (DCL) metadata for a specific entity in your SAP system. This error can occur in various contexts, particularly when working with SAP S/4HANA or SAP Fiori applications that rely on DCL for managing access control and authorizations.
  Cause:
  
  Missing DCL Metadata: The entity specified in the error message (&1) does not have the corresponding DCL metadata defined in the system. This can happen if the DCL was not properly created or activated.
