• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING_CHK018 - &1 After Import Method(s) using write-APIs on the object (or a DDIC view) ?

  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING_CHK018 typically indicates an issue related to the sharing of data during the import of methods using write APIs on a specific object or Data Dictionary (DDIC) view. This error often arises when there are conflicts or inconsistencies in the data being processed, particularly when multiple processes or users are trying to access or modify the same data simultaneously.
  Cause:
  
  Data Locking: The error may occur if the data being modified is locked by another transaction or user. SAP uses locking mechanisms to prevent data inconsistencies.
  Inconsistent Data State: If the data being imported is in an inconsistent state or does not meet the required conditions for the operation, this error can be triggered.
  Incorrect API Usage: The write API may not be used correctly, leading to issues with data integrity or validation.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations for the user or process trying to perform the operation can also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the data being modified. If locks are found, you may need to wait for them to be released or contact the user holding the lock.
  Validate Data: Ensure that the data being imported is valid and meets all necessary conditions. Check for any inconsistencies or missing required fields.
  Review API Usage: Double-check the implementation of the write APIs to ensure they are being used correctly. Refer to the API documentation for guidance on proper usage.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user or process has the necessary authorizations to perform the operation. Use transaction SU53 to analyze authorization issues.
  Error Logs: Check the application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed error messages that can provide additional context on the issue.
