• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GO028 - & Object name format out of date (&). ?

  The SAP error message GO028 typically indicates that there is an issue with the object name format being out of date. This can occur in various contexts within SAP, particularly when dealing with object names in the system that do not conform to the expected naming conventions or formats.
  Cause:
  
  
  Object Name Format: The object name may not adhere to the required naming conventions set by SAP. This can include issues such as:
  
  Using special characters that are not allowed.
  Exceeding the maximum length for object names.
  Using reserved keywords or names that conflict with existing objects.
  
  
  
  System Configuration: The system may have been configured in a way that does not support the current naming conventions, especially if there have been recent updates or changes to the system.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from another system, it may not have been properly formatted or may have been created in a system with different naming conventions.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Name: Review the object name that is causing the error. Ensure that it adheres to the naming conventions specified by SAP. This includes:
  
  Using only allowed characters (typically alphanumeric and underscores).
  Ensuring the name is within the length limits (usually 30 characters for many object types).
  
  
  
  Rename the Object: If the object name is indeed out of date or incorrect, consider renaming it to a valid format. This can often be done through the relevant transaction code (e.g., SE80 for object management).
  
  
  Review System Settings: Check the system settings and configurations to ensure that they are aligned with the current naming conventions. This may involve consulting with your SAP Basis team.
  
  
  Transport Management: If the object was transported, ensure that the transport request was correctly configured and that the object was properly created in the source system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object type you are working with. There may be specific guidelines or updates that need to be followed.
