  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EA787 - No package specified ?

    The SAP error message EA787 "No package specified" typically occurs when you are trying to transport an object or a set of objects in the SAP system, but the system cannot determine the package to which these objects belong. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when creating or modifying development objects, or when trying to transport changes.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Package Assignment: The object you are trying to transport has not been assigned to a package. In SAP, every development object should be assigned to a package (or to the "local object" package, which is indicated by the $TMP package).
    2. Incorrect Transport Request: The transport request you are using may not be correctly configured or may not have the necessary objects included.
    3. Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to assign objects to a package or to create transport requests.

    Solution:

    1. Assign a Package:

      • Go to the object in the SAP development environment (e.g., ABAP Workbench).
      • Check the package assignment for the object. If it is not assigned to any package, you can assign it to an appropriate package or to the local object ($TMP) if it is not meant for transport.
      • Save the changes.
    2. Create a Transport Request:

      • If you are creating a new object, ensure that you create a transport request and assign the object to it.
      • Make sure that the transport request is released properly after you have made the necessary changes.
    3. Check Authorizations:

      • Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create and manage transport requests and to assign objects to packages.
      • If you suspect authorization issues, contact your SAP security administrator.
    4. Use Transaction SE01 or SE09:

      • You can use transaction codes SE01 or SE09 to manage transport requests and check if the objects are correctly assigned to a transport request.

    Related Information:

    • Local Object: Objects assigned to the $TMP package are local and will not be transported to other systems. This is useful for testing or temporary changes.
    • Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how the TMS works can help in managing transport requests effectively.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any specific issues related to your version of SAP that might provide additional insights or patches related to this error.

    If the problem persists after trying the above solutions, it may be helpful to consult with your SAP Basis team or refer to SAP support for further assistance.
