• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CD899 - No change document objects found ?

  The SAP error message CD899 ("No change document objects found") typically occurs when you are trying to access change documents in the SAP system, but the system cannot find any change document objects that match the criteria specified in your request. This can happen for several reasons:
  Causes:
  
  
  No Change Documents Created: There may not be any change documents created for the object you are trying to access. This could be due to the fact that the object has not been changed since change document tracking was enabled.
  
  
  Change Document Object Not Defined: The change document object you are trying to access may not be defined in the system. This could happen if the object is not set up to track changes.
  
  
  Incorrect Selection Criteria: The selection criteria you are using to retrieve change documents may not match any existing records. This could include date ranges, object types, or other filters that do not correspond to any change documents.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: You may not have the necessary authorizations to view the change documents for the specified object.
  
  
  Data Deletion: Change documents may have been deleted or archived, making them unavailable for retrieval.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Change Document Configuration: Ensure that the change document object is properly configured in the system. You can check this in transaction code SCDO (Change Document Objects) to see if the object is defined and active.
  
  
  Verify Object Changes: Confirm that changes have actually been made to the object you are querying. If no changes have been made, there will be no change documents to retrieve.
  
  
  Review Selection Criteria: Double-check the selection criteria you are using to ensure they are correct and that they match existing change documents. Adjust the criteria if necessary.
  
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to view change documents. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify your access rights.
  
  
  Consult with Basis Team: If you suspect that change documents may have been deleted or archived, consult with your SAP Basis team to check the system's data retention policies and whether any relevant data has been removed.
  
  
  Use Alternative Queries: If you are using a specific transaction or report to view change documents, consider using alternative methods or transactions to see if the issue persists.
  
  
  Related Information:
