• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/TOOLS_CC002 - The target key (&1) of ET_KEY_LINK is not in ET_TARGET_KEY ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/TOOLS_CC002 indicates that there is a mismatch between the target key specified in the ET_KEY_LINK table and the keys present in the ET_TARGET_KEY table. This typically occurs in the context of Business Object Framework (BOF) operations, where the system expects certain keys to be present for processing but cannot find them.
  Cause:
  
  Data Inconsistency: The target key specified in the ET_KEY_LINK does not exist in the ET_TARGET_KEY. This can happen if the data was not properly loaded or if there was an error in the data processing logic.
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration of the Business Object or the data model may not be set up correctly, leading to mismatches in expected keys.
  Missing Data: The data that should populate ET_TARGET_KEY may not have been created or may have been deleted before the operation was executed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Consistency: Verify that the target key specified in ET_KEY_LINK actually exists in ET_TARGET_KEY. You can do this by querying the relevant tables or using transaction codes that allow you to view the data.
  Review Business Logic: Look into the logic that populates ET_TARGET_KEY to ensure that it is being filled correctly before the operation that references it is executed.
  Debugging: If you have access to the ABAP code, you can set breakpoints and debug the process to see where the mismatch occurs. This can help identify if there are any logical errors in the code.
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration settings for the Business Object to ensure that all necessary settings are correctly defined.
  Data Load Process: If the data is being loaded from an external source, ensure that the load process is functioning correctly and that all necessary records are being created in ET_TARGET_KEY.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the structure of the tables involved, or SE80 (Object Navigator) to review the Business Object definitions.
