  The SAP error message CM_EAM_TL_API002 with the description "Control key for operation &1 &2 missing" typically occurs in the context of maintenance planning and execution within the SAP Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) module. This error indicates that a control key, which is essential for defining how an operation should be processed, is not assigned to a specific operation in a maintenance order or task list.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Control Key: The operation in question does not have a control key assigned. Control keys are used to determine the processing of operations, such as whether they are manual, automatic, or require specific resources.
  Incorrect Configuration: The control key may not be configured correctly in the system, or the operation may not be linked to a valid control key.
  Data Entry Error: There may have been an oversight during the creation or modification of the maintenance order or task list, leading to the omission of the control key.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check the Operation: 
  
  Go to the maintenance order or task list where the error occurred.
  Check the specific operation (identified by &1 and &2 in the error message) to see if a control key is assigned.
  
  
  
  Assign a Control Key:
  
  If the control key is missing, you can assign a valid control key to the operation. This can typically be done in the operation details screen of the maintenance order or task list.
  Ensure that the control key you assign is appropriate for the type of work being performed.
  
  
  
  Review Control Key Configuration:
  
  If you suspect that the control key configuration is incorrect, you may need to review the configuration settings in the SAP system. This can be done through transaction codes like OPL8 (for control key configuration).
  Ensure that the control key is defined correctly and is active.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation: 
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on control keys and their usage in maintenance orders.
