• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GO258 - & No objects exist for import ?

  The SAP error message GO258 typically indicates that there are no objects available for import in the context of a transport request. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to import a transport request that does not contain any objects or when the objects have already been imported.
  Causes of Error GO258
  
  
  Empty Transport Request: The transport request you are trying to import may not contain any objects. This can happen if the request was created but no changes were added to it.
  
  
  Objects Already Imported: The objects in the transport request may have already been imported into the target system, making them unavailable for re-import.
  
  
  Incorrect Transport Directory: The transport directory may not be correctly set up, or the transport files may not be present in the expected location.
  
  
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow for import, such as being released but not yet available for import.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user attempting the import may not have the necessary authorizations to access the transport request or the objects within it.
  
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Check Transport Request Contents: Verify that the transport request contains the necessary objects. You can do this by checking the transport request in the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10).
  
  
  Review Import Logs: Check the import logs to see if the objects were previously imported. This can help confirm whether the objects are indeed missing or if they have already been processed.
  
  
  Verify Transport Directory: Ensure that the transport directory is correctly configured and that the transport files are present. You can check the transport directory settings in transaction STMS.
  
  
  Check Transport Request Status: Make sure the transport request is in the correct status for import. It should be released and not in a locked state.
  
  
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the import. This may involve checking roles and permissions in transaction PFCG.
  
  
  Recreate Transport Request: If the transport request is empty or incorrect, consider recreating it and ensuring that the necessary objects are included before attempting the import again.
