Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CL806 - Classes were created or changed using API ?

  The SAP error message CL806 indicates that classes were created or changed using the API (Application Programming Interface). This typically occurs when there are inconsistencies or issues related to the class definitions in the ABAP environment, particularly when using the Class Builder or when classes are modified programmatically.
  Cause:
  
  API Usage: The error is triggered when classes are created or modified through an API rather than through the standard Class Builder transaction (SE24).
  Inconsistent State: The system may be in an inconsistent state due to changes made outside of the standard development environment.
  Transport Issues: If classes were transported from one system to another, there might be discrepancies in the class definitions or dependencies.
  Versioning Issues: If there are multiple versions of a class or if the class is being used in a way that conflicts with its current state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Class Definitions: Review the class definitions in the Class Builder (SE24) to ensure they are correctly defined and consistent.
  Recreate Classes: If possible, recreate the classes using the Class Builder instead of the API to ensure they are properly registered in the system.
  Transport Management: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for errors and ensure that all dependencies are correctly transported.
  Consistency Check: Use transaction SE80 or SE24 to perform a consistency check on the classes to identify any issues.
  Debugging: If the error persists, consider debugging the API calls to see if there are any underlying issues causing the error.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
