• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_CU_TM026 - Package must be indicated ?

  The SAP error message ESH_CU_TM026, which states "Package must be indicated," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Enterprise Search or SAP NetWeaver systems when a package is required but not specified during a certain operation, such as when creating or modifying a transport request or when working with certain configuration settings.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Package Assignment: The error usually arises when a transport request or an object is being created or modified without an associated package. In SAP, a package is a container for objects that can be transported between different systems (e.g., development, quality assurance, production).
  Incorrect Configuration: It may also occur if the system configuration is incorrect or if the user does not have the necessary authorizations to assign a package.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign a Package:
  
  When creating or modifying an object, ensure that you specify a package. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 for Object Navigator).
  Selecting the object you are working on.
  In the properties or attributes of the object, look for the package field and assign an appropriate package.
  
  
  If you do not have a specific package, you can use the package $TMP (temporary package) for development purposes, but it is recommended to create a proper package for transport.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to create or modify objects and assign packages. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis or security team if you suspect authorization issues.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration:
  
  If the error persists, review the configuration settings related to the transport management system (TMS) and ensure that everything is set up correctly.
