• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EQ081 - Parameter message handle is not maintained when message object is active ?

  The SAP error message EQ081 ("Parameter message handle is not maintained when message object is active") typically occurs in the context of SAP's message handling system, particularly when dealing with message classes and message handling in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error usually arises due to one of the following reasons:
  
  
  Message Class Configuration: The message class that you are trying to use is not properly configured. This could mean that the message handle (which is a parameter that links the message class to its messages) is not set up correctly.
  
  
  Active Message Object: The message object is active, but the necessary parameters or message handles are not maintained. This can happen if the message class was created or modified but not fully activated or if the necessary parameters were not defined.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the message class was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there might be inconsistencies in the transport that could lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the EQ081 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Message Class Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SE91 (Message Class).
  Verify that the message class you are using is correctly defined and that all necessary messages are maintained.
  Ensure that the message handle is properly set up.
  
  
  
  Maintain Message Handle:
  
  If the message handle is missing, you need to maintain it. This can typically be done in the same transaction (SE91) by editing the message class and ensuring that the message handle is defined.
  
  
  
  Activate Message Class:
  
  If you have made changes to the message class, ensure that it is activated. You can do this by using the "Activate" option in SE91.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the message class was transported, check the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects were included and that there were no errors during the transport process.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, you may need to debug the program or function module that is generating the error to identify where the message handling is failing.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to message handling and the specific message class you are working with for any additional guidance.
