• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ADW037 - Tables with delivery class 'A' or 'L' cannot be transported ?

  The SAP error message ADW037 indicates that you are attempting to transport a table that has a delivery class of 'A' (Application table) or 'L' (Table for storing temporary data) using the transport management system (TMS). These types of tables are not meant to be transported between systems because they are typically used for application-specific data or temporary data that should not be moved across different environments.
  Cause:
  
  Delivery Class: The table you are trying to transport has been defined with a delivery class of 'A' or 'L'. This means that the table is either an application table that is not intended for transport or a temporary table that should not be moved.
  Transport Request: You are trying to include this table in a transport request, which is not allowed for tables with these delivery classes.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Definition: Review the table definition in the Data Dictionary (SE11) to confirm its delivery class. If it is indeed set to 'A' or 'L', you will need to consider alternative approaches.
  Data Migration: If you need to move data from this table to another system, consider using data migration techniques such as:
  
  LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench): This tool can help you migrate data from one system to another.
  Direct Input Method: You can use direct input methods to load data into the target system.
  Custom ABAP Programs: Write a custom ABAP program to extract data from the source system and insert it into the target system.
  
  
  Change Delivery Class: If the table should be transportable and it is appropriate to change its delivery class, you can modify the delivery class in the Data Dictionary. However, this should be done with caution and typically requires a thorough understanding of the implications, as it may affect the application logic and data integrity.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis team for best practices regarding the transport of application-specific data.
