• Message class: CONT_TOOLS - Message for BI Content Tools German

• Message number: 505

• Message text: Check category COT. Objects saved temporarily

What causes this issue?

In a BW Content development system, objects have been found that are
saved in development class $TMP, but also exist in the data flow of an
object which is not saved in development class $TMP.
This can cause collection errors or activation errors to occur after you
transport these objects to a follow-up system.
<ZK>Example: If an InfoObject has been saved locally in development
class $TMP and is being used simultaneously in an InfoCube that has not
been saved locally, collection errors will occur when you transport to a
follow-up system because the InfoObject will not be transported and will
not be there in the target system.</>

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.
