• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL189 - UOA &2:&1 does not exist in DB, but marked for deletion in transmission ?

  The SAP error message ADS2KIPUPL_API_AL189 UOA &2:&1 does not exist in DB, but marked for deletion in transmission typically indicates that there is a discrepancy between the database and the transmission data regarding a specific object (UOA - User Object Assignment) that is marked for deletion.
  Cause:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The object identified by the parameters &2 (object type) and &1 (object ID) is marked for deletion in the transmission but does not exist in the database. This can happen if the object was deleted manually or through a process, but the deletion was not properly synchronized with the transmission data.
  Transmission Issues: There may be issues with the transmission process itself, such as incomplete or failed transmissions that did not update the database correctly.
  Configuration Errors: Incorrect configuration settings in the system can lead to inconsistencies between the database and the transmission data.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify if the object (UOA) actually exists in the database. You can do this by querying the relevant tables in the database to see if the object is present.
  Review Deletion Mark: If the object is indeed marked for deletion, check the transmission logs to understand why it was marked and whether the deletion process was completed successfully.
  Reconcile Data: If there is a mismatch, you may need to reconcile the data. This could involve:
  
  Manually removing the deletion mark if the object should still exist.
  Re-adding the object if it was deleted by mistake.
  Correcting any transmission errors that may have occurred.
  
  
  Check for System Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest patches and updates, as sometimes bugs in earlier versions can lead to such inconsistencies.
