• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FDT_CORE198 - Transport of objects with local package/software comp is not allowed ?

  The SAP error message FDT_CORE198 indicates that there is an issue with transporting objects that are assigned to a local package or software component. This typically occurs when you attempt to transport development objects (like function modules, classes, etc.) that are not assigned to a transportable package.
  Cause:
  
  Local Package Assignment: The objects you are trying to transport are assigned to a local package (usually $TMP), which is not transportable. Local packages are meant for development purposes and cannot be included in transport requests.
  Software Component Issues: The software component associated with the objects may not be configured correctly for transport.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Object Assignment:
  
  Go to the object in question (e.g., a function module, class, etc.) and check its package assignment.
  If it is assigned to a local package (like $TMP), you need to reassign it to a transportable package.
  
  
  
  Reassign to a Transportable Package:
  
  Use transaction SE80 or SE11 to find the object.
  Change the package assignment to a transportable package. You can create a new package if necessary, or use an existing one that is transportable.
  
  
  
  Create a Transport Request:
  
  After reassigning the object to a transportable package, create a new transport request if needed.
  Add the object to the transport request.
  
  
  
  Transport the Request:
  
  Once the objects are correctly assigned and included in a transport request, you can proceed with the transport process.
