  The SAP error message ESH_CU_SEM008 indicates that a specific package (denoted as &1) is not allowed for transportation. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's transport management system (TMS) when you attempt to transport objects that are part of a package that has been configured to be non-transportable.
  Cause:
  
  Package Configuration: The package in question has been set to "local" or "non-transportable." This is often done for development packages that are intended to remain in the development environment and not be moved to production or other systems.

  Solution:
  
  
  Check Package Settings:
  
  Go to the package in the SAP system (transaction SE80 or SE21).
  Check the properties of the package to see if it is marked as "local" or "non-transportable."
  If you have the necessary authorizations, you can change the package settings to allow transportation.
