• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message APB_LAUNCHPAD137 - Semantic Object required ?

  The SAP error message APB_LAUNCHPAD137 indicates that a "Semantic Object" is required but not provided in the context of launching an application or a tile in the SAP Fiori Launchpad. This error typically occurs when there is an attempt to access a Fiori app or tile that is not properly configured or lacks the necessary semantic object definition.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Semantic Object: The semantic object that is supposed to be linked to the tile or application is not defined in the system.
  Incorrect Configuration: The tile or application might be incorrectly configured, leading to the absence of the required semantic object.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the semantic object.
  Transport Issues: If the application was transported from one system to another, the semantic object might not have been included in the transport request.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Semantic Object Definition:
  
  Go to the SAP Fiori Launchpad Designer and check if the semantic object is defined correctly.
  Ensure that the semantic object is linked to the correct target mapping.
  
  
  
  Create or Update Semantic Object:
  
  If the semantic object is missing, create it in the system using the appropriate transaction (e.g., SE80 for the Object Navigator).
  Ensure that the semantic object has the necessary parameters and is properly configured.
  
  
  
  Review Tile Configuration:
  
  Check the configuration of the tile that is causing the error. Ensure that it references the correct semantic object.
  If necessary, recreate the tile with the correct settings.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the semantic object. This can be done by checking the roles assigned to the user and ensuring they include access to the relevant semantic object.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects, including the semantic object, were included in the transport request.
  If not, you may need to transport the missing objects or manually create them in the target system.
