• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CHK_CLASH_OBJECTS012 - Domain has different lengths: local &1, remote &2 ?

  The SAP error message CHK_CLASH_OBJECTS012 indicates that there is a mismatch in the lengths of a domain between the local and remote systems. This typically occurs during data transfer or when trying to synchronize objects between different SAP systems, such as during a transport request or when using the SAP Landscape Management tool.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  The domain definition in the local system has a different length than the corresponding domain in the remote system.
  This can happen due to inconsistencies in the data dictionary, where the domain was modified in one system but not in the other.
  It may also occur if there are different versions of the same domain across systems, leading to discrepancies in their definitions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Domain Definitions:
  
  Go to transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Check the domain in both the local and remote systems to compare their definitions, especially the length of the domain.
  
  
  
  Synchronize Domain Definitions:
  
  If you find that the domain lengths are indeed different, you will need to synchronize them.
  You can do this by adjusting the domain in one of the systems to match the other. This may involve changing the domain length in the system where it is incorrect.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the domain was recently changed in one system, ensure that the transport request containing the changes has been properly imported into the other system.
  If the transport request is missing or incomplete, you may need to re-export and import it.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Developments:
  
  If there are custom developments or enhancements that rely on the domain, ensure that they are also updated to reflect the correct domain definition.
  
  
  
  Use SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on how to handle domain discrepancies.
  
  
  
  Consult Basis Team:
  
  If you are unable to resolve the issue, consult your SAP Basis team for assistance. They may have tools or scripts to help identify and fix inconsistencies between systems.

  SAP Notes: Always check for relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional context or solutions for specific versions of SAP.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation regarding data dictionary objects and transport management for best practices in maintaining consistency across systems.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify and resolve the cause of the CHK_CLASH_OBJECTS012 error.
