SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: CRM_PS_4S_BRFP - Message Class for Social Services BRF+ integration

• Message number: 227

• Message text: For BRF+ Function &1, versioning is turned off

What causes this issue?

For the current function, you have tried to enable lean trace support,
or you have run the lean trace readiness check for the function. The
system has detected that for object , versioning is currently turned
off. However, full lean trace support is only possible for a function if
the function itself and all objects involved in function execution are
under version control.
Note that lean trace is supported even if there are unversioned objects
involved. However, whenever such an unversioned object is changed, all
traces that have been recorded prior to that change can no longer be
displayed.

System Response

Lean trace is supported for the function. However, there is a risk of
losing trace data due to object changes.

How to fix this error?

Decide whether the risk of losing trace data is acceptable for you or
not:
If the risk is acceptable, there is no need to take action.
If the risk is not acceptable, you need to make sure all referenced
objects (direct as well as indirect references) are under version
control. If the system has found numerous objects that are currently not
under version control, you may consider enforcing object versioning on
application level. To accomplish this, proceed as follows:
In the BRFplus workbench, navigate to the application to which the
function belongs.
In the Detail section, choose Default Settings.
Under Versioning, choose Versioning enforced.

Procedure for System Administrators
