• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message COM_IL_GEN009 - Error in object type name &1; choose customer namespace ?

  The SAP error message COM_IL_GEN009 indicates that there is an issue with the object type name in the context of a customer namespace. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify an object in a namespace that is not designated for customer-specific developments.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Namespace: The object you are trying to create or modify is not in the correct customer namespace. SAP has specific namespaces for standard objects and customer-specific objects. Customer namespaces usually start with "Z" or "Y".
  Object Type Name: The object type name you are using may not conform to the naming conventions or may be reserved for SAP standard objects.
  Development Class: The development class (package) associated with the object may not be set up correctly to allow customer-specific objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Use Customer Namespace: Ensure that you are using a customer namespace (typically starting with "Z" or "Y") for your object type name. If you are trying to create a custom object, make sure it is prefixed correctly.
  Check Object Type Name: Verify that the object type name you are using does not conflict with existing SAP standard object names. Rename the object if necessary.
  Adjust Development Class: If you are working within a development class, ensure that it is set up to allow customer-specific developments. You may need to create a new development class that is designated for customer use.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or guidelines regarding naming conventions and namespaces to ensure compliance.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Namespaces: In SAP, namespaces are used to differentiate between standard SAP objects and customer-specific objects. Customer namespaces are typically reserved for custom developments to avoid conflicts with standard SAP objects.
  Development Environment: Make sure you are working in the correct development environment (e.g., development client) and that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify objects.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this error or provide additional guidance on resolving namespace issues.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or development team for further assistance, as they may have additional insights or access to system logs that can help diagnose the issue.
