• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AIMMERGER_SHD012 - Only language transports. Merge is not performed. ?

  The SAP error message AIMMERGER_SHD012, which states "Only language transports. Merge is not performed," typically occurs during the transport merge process in SAP systems. This error indicates that the system has detected that the transport request being processed contains only language-dependent objects, and as a result, the merge operation cannot be performed.
  Cause:
  
  
  Language-Dependent Transport: The transport request contains only language-dependent objects (like texts, translations, etc.) and does not include any language-independent objects. The merge process is designed to handle language-independent objects, and thus it cannot proceed with a transport that only contains language-dependent items.
  
  
  Incorrect Transport Request Type: The transport request may have been incorrectly categorized or created, leading to it being recognized as a language transport.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Transport Request Contents: Review the contents of the transport request to confirm that it only contains language-dependent objects. If this is the case, you may need to create a new transport request that includes language-independent objects.
  
  
  Create a New Transport Request: If you need to transport language-independent objects, create a new transport request that includes the necessary objects. Ensure that you include both language-dependent and language-independent objects if applicable.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transport Method: If you are specifically working with language transports, ensure that you are using the appropriate method for handling these types of transports. Language transports are typically handled differently than standard transports.
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to transport management and language transports for additional guidance and best practices.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with the TMS in SAP, which manages the transport of objects between different SAP systems (development, quality assurance, production).
  Language Transport: Understand the concept of language transports in SAP, which are used to transport language-specific texts and translations.
