Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message FUNC_ADT022 - Save of metadata failed: master language differs from changing language ?

  The SAP error message FUNC_ADT022: Save of metadata failed: master language differs from changing language typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the master language of an object and the language in which you are trying to save changes to that object. This is particularly relevant in the context of ABAP development and the use of the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse.
  Cause:
  
  Master Language Mismatch: The object you are trying to modify has a master language (the original language in which the object was created) that differs from the language you are currently using to make changes.
  Language Settings: Your user settings or the settings of the development environment may be configured to a different language than the master language of the object.
  Transport Requests: If you are working with transport requests, the language settings in the transport may also lead to this error.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Language: Verify the master language of the object you are trying to modify. You can do this by checking the properties of the object in the SAP GUI or ADT.
  Change Language Settings: 
  
  If you want to work in a specific language, ensure that your user profile is set to that language. You can change your logon language in the SAP GUI or in the ADT settings.
  In ADT, you can set the language in the preferences under General > Appearance > Language.
  
  
  Use the Correct Language: If the object was created in a specific language (e.g., German), you need to switch your working language to that language to make changes.
  Create a New Version: If you need to work in a different language, consider creating a new version of the object in the desired language, ensuring that the master language is set correctly.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more detailed guidance on handling language settings and object metadata.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Language in SAP: SAP supports multiple languages, and each object can have a master language. The master language is the primary language in which the object is defined, while translations can exist for other languages.
  Development Environment: When using ADT, ensure that your Eclipse environment is properly configured to handle multiple languages and that you are aware of the language settings for your projects.
  Transport Management: If you are working with transport requests, ensure that the language settings in the transport are consistent with the languages used in the development environment.
  
  By addressing the language mismatch and ensuring that your settings align with the master language of the object, you should be able to resolve the FUNC_ADT022 error.
