  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECOP001 - Table &1 can only be transported generically. See long text ?

    The SAP error message ECOP001 indicates that a specific table (denoted as &1 in the message) can only be transported generically. This typically occurs when you are trying to transport a table that is not allowed to be transported in a specific way due to its configuration or the nature of its data.

    Cause:

    1. Table Type: The table in question is likely a customizing table or a table that is not meant to be transported in a standard way. This can include tables that are used for configuration or that contain client-specific data.
    2. Transport Layer: The transport layer settings for the table may restrict it from being transported in the usual manner.
    3. Transport Request: The transport request may not be set up correctly to handle the specific type of data or table.

    Solution:

    1. Check Table Attributes: Review the attributes of the table in the Data Dictionary (SE11). Look for settings that indicate whether the table is client-dependent or client-independent.
    2. Use Generic Transport: If the table can only be transported generically, you may need to create a generic transport request. This can be done by using transaction SE09 or SE10 to create a transport request that allows for generic transport.
    3. Manual Transport: If the table cannot be transported automatically, you may need to manually replicate the changes in the target system.
    4. Consult Documentation: Check the long text of the error message for additional details or specific instructions related to the table in question.
