• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_CDMC_UCIA023 - & SAP objects are directly referenced in customer objects ?

  The SAP error message CNV_CDMC_UCIA023 typically relates to issues encountered during the conversion or migration of data, particularly in the context of SAP's Conversion and Migration tools. This error indicates that there are SAP objects that are directly referenced in customer objects, which can lead to complications during the conversion process.
  Cause:
  
  Direct References: The error arises when custom objects (like Z* programs, custom tables, etc.) directly reference standard SAP objects (like standard tables, function modules, etc.). This can create dependencies that complicate the migration or conversion process.
  Data Model Changes: If the underlying data model of the SAP system has changed (for example, during an upgrade or migration), these references may become invalid or problematic.
  Incompatibility: The custom objects may not be compatible with the new version of the SAP system or the new data model being implemented.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify References: Use tools like the SAP ABAP Workbench (SE80) or transaction SE11 to identify where the custom objects are referencing standard SAP objects. You can also use transaction SE84 (Repository Information System) to search for dependencies.
  Modify Custom Objects: Once identified, you may need to modify the custom objects to remove or replace the direct references to standard SAP objects. This could involve:
  
  Redesigning the custom logic to avoid direct dependencies.
  Creating wrapper functions or views that encapsulate the standard objects.
  
  
  Testing: After making changes, thoroughly test the custom objects to ensure they function correctly without the direct references.
  Documentation: Document any changes made for future reference and to assist in troubleshooting any further issues that may arise.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional guidance or patches related to this error. SAP Notes can be found in the SAP Support Portal.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have implemented.
  Upgrade Guides: If this error occurs during an upgrade, refer to the specific upgrade guides provided by SAP for your version, as they may contain information on handling custom objects and dependencies.
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Regularly Review Custom Code: Regularly review and refactor custom code to minimize dependencies on standard SAP objects.
  Use Enhancement Framework: Where possible, use the SAP Enhancement Framework to extend standard functionality instead of creating custom objects that directly reference standard ones.
  Version Control: Maintain version control of custom developments to track changes and facilitate easier troubleshooting.
  
  By addressing the direct references and ensuring compatibility with the SAP system's data model, you can resolve the CNV_CDMC_UCIA023 error and facilitate a smoother conversion or migration process.
