• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /IAM/OBJECT222 - &1: Timestamp &2 was not converted into local time ?

  The SAP error message /IAM/OBJECT222 &1: Timestamp &2 was not converted into local time typically indicates an issue with the conversion of a timestamp from UTC (Coordinated Universal Time) to the local time zone configured in the SAP system. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when dealing with time-sensitive data, scheduling, or logging events.
  Cause:
  
  Time Zone Configuration: The local time zone settings in the SAP system may not be correctly configured. This can lead to issues when the system attempts to convert UTC timestamps to the local time zone.
  Missing Time Zone Data: The necessary time zone data may be missing or not properly maintained in the system.
  Incorrect Timestamp Format: The timestamp being processed may not be in the expected format, leading to conversion failures.
  System Settings: There may be inconsistencies in the system settings related to time zone handling, especially if the system has been recently upgraded or migrated.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Time Zone Configuration:
  
  Go to transaction SU01 and check the user profile settings to ensure that the correct time zone is set for the user experiencing the issue.
  Verify the system-wide time zone settings in transaction RZ10 or RZ11 to ensure they are correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Maintain Time Zone Data:
  
  Ensure that the time zone data is up to date. You can check this in transaction SICF or by using the relevant SAP notes to update the time zone data if necessary.
  
  
  
  Review Timestamp Format:
  
  Ensure that the timestamp being processed is in the correct format. If you are working with custom code or interfaces, validate that the timestamps are being generated and passed correctly.
  
  
  
  Check System Settings:
  
  Review any recent changes to the system that may have affected time zone handling. This includes upgrades, patches, or configuration changes.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message. SAP frequently releases notes that provide fixes or workarounds for known issues.
  
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the issue persists, consider debugging the relevant code or process to identify where the conversion is failing. This may require assistance from a developer or SAP Basis team.
