  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DS121 - Program &1 is created in client &2 ?

    The SAP error message DS121, which states "Program &1 is created in client &2," typically occurs when a program is being executed in a client where it has not been properly transported or created. This error is often related to the development and transport process in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with custom programs or reports.

    Cause:

    1. Program Not Transported: The program has been created in a different client (usually the development client) and has not been transported to the client where you are trying to execute it.
    2. Client-Specific Objects: The program may be client-specific, meaning it exists only in the specified client and is not available in the client you are currently logged into.
    3. Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the program in the target client.

    Solution:

    1. Transport the Program: If the program is developed in a different client, you need to create a transport request and transport the program to the target client. This can be done using the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10).
    2. Check Client: Ensure that you are logged into the correct client where the program is supposed to be available. If you are in a testing or production client, verify that the program has been transported correctly.
    3. Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to execute the program in the target client. You may need to check with your SAP security team to ensure proper roles and authorizations are assigned.
    4. Create the Program in the Target Client: If the program is not meant to be transported and is only needed in the current client, you may need to create it directly in that client.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SE80 (Object Navigator) to check the program.
      • SE09/SE10 (Transport Organizer) to manage transport requests.
      • SE38 (ABAP Editor) to view or create programs.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to this error message.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation on transport management and client administration for best practices.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or refer to SAP support for further assistance.
