• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BCV/CFG117 - Package &1 is a local package; MIME object is not transported ?

  The SAP error message /BCV/CFG117 Package &1 is a local package; MIME object is not transported typically occurs when you are trying to transport a MIME object (such as images, stylesheets, or JavaScript files) that is associated with a local package. In SAP, local packages are not intended to be transported between systems, which is why you are encountering this error.
  Cause:
  
  Local Package: The package you are trying to transport is defined as a local package (usually starting with $TMP or similar), which means it is not meant to be included in transport requests.
  MIME Object: The MIME object you are trying to transport is linked to this local package, and since local packages cannot be transported, the system raises this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Change the Package:
  
  Move the MIME object to a transportable package. You can create a new package or use an existing one that is transportable (not a local package).
  To do this, go to the transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) and change the package assignment of the MIME object.
  
  
  
  Create a Transport Request:
  
  After moving the MIME object to a transportable package, create a transport request for that package.
  Ensure that the transport request is released and imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Check Package Attributes:
  
  Ensure that the package you are using is not marked as a local package. You can check this in transaction SE80 by looking at the package attributes.
  
  
  
  Recreate MIME Objects:
  
  If necessary, recreate the MIME objects in the new transportable package to ensure they are correctly linked.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  MIME Repository: In SAP, MIME objects are stored in the MIME repository, which is part of the Web Application Server. You can manage MIME objects using transaction SE78.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with the TMS to understand how transports work in SAP and how to manage packages and transport requests.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP Help documentation for more details on managing packages and MIME objects.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully transport your MIME objects.
