• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EM191 - Transaction code &1 of recording and &2 of BDC objects are different ?

  The SAP error message EM191 indicates a mismatch between the transaction code in the recording and the transaction code specified in the BDC (Batch Data Communication) object. This error typically occurs during the execution of a BDC session when the transaction code in the recording does not match the one being processed.
  Cause:
  
  Mismatch in Transaction Codes: The transaction code recorded in the BDC session does not match the transaction code specified in the BDC program.
  Incorrect Recording: The recording may have been created for a different transaction than the one being executed.
  Manual Changes: If the BDC program was manually modified to use a different transaction code, it may lead to this error.
  Multiple Recordings: If multiple recordings are used, there may be confusion about which transaction code is associated with which recording.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Transaction Codes: Check the transaction code in the BDC recording and ensure it matches the transaction code specified in the BDC program.
  Recreate the Recording: If there is a mismatch, consider recreating the BDC recording for the correct transaction code.
  Update BDC Program: If the BDC program is using the wrong transaction code, update it to use the correct one that matches the recording.
  Consistency Check: Ensure that all parts of the BDC program (including any subroutines or function modules) are consistent with the transaction code being processed.
  Testing: After making changes, test the BDC session again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BDC Sessions: BDC is a method for transferring data into SAP systems. It involves recording a transaction and then using that recording to automate data entry.
  Transaction Codes: Each transaction in SAP is identified by a unique transaction code (T-code). It is essential that the correct T-code is used in both the recording and the BDC program.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in your BDC program to catch and log errors for easier troubleshooting in the future.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the EM191 error and ensure that your BDC processing runs smoothly.
