• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN087 - Object & has errors (no TADIR entry exists) ?

  The SAP error message COM_ATTRFRG_GEN087 indicates that there is an issue with an object in the SAP system, specifically that there is no TADIR entry for the object in question. The TADIR table in SAP is used to store information about the development objects in the system, including their type, package, and other metadata. When an object does not have a corresponding entry in TADIR, it can lead to various issues, including the inability to transport the object or use it properly in the system.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Missing TADIR Entry: The object was created but not properly registered in the TADIR table.
  Transport Issues: The object may have been transported from another system without the necessary TADIR entry being created.
  Development Environment Issues: The object might have been deleted or not activated correctly in the development environment.
  Custom Development: If the object is a custom development, it may not have been assigned to a package, leading to the absence of a TADIR entry.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify that the object indeed exists in the system and is not deleted or inactive.
  
  
  Create TADIR Entry:
  
  If the object is a custom development, ensure it is assigned to a package. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the object in the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 for Object Navigator).
  Assigning it to a package if it is currently in the "local" package.
  
  
  If the object is part of a standard SAP delivery, you may need to check if it should be included in a transport request.
  
  
  
  Transport Request: If the object was created in a development system, ensure that it is included in a transport request and that the transport request has been released and imported into the target system.
  
  
  Re-activate the Object: Sometimes, re-activating the object can help in creating the necessary TADIR entry. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the object in the relevant transaction.
  Making a minor change (if applicable) and saving it to trigger the activation process.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors: Use transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to check for any inconsistencies or errors related to transports and objects.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If the object is part of a third-party or custom development, consult the documentation or the developer to ensure that the object is set up correctly.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  TADIR Table: This table contains metadata about development objects. You can view its contents using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Transport Management: Understanding how transports work in SAP can help prevent such issues in the future. Familiarize yourself with transactions like SE09 and SE10 for managing transport requests.
  SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
