How To Fix ILM_STANDARDS017 - Time reference &1, indirect value determin.: BAdI implementation missing

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ILM_STANDARDS - ILM Standard Checks

• Message number: 017

• Message text: Time reference &1, indirect value determin.: BAdI implementation missing

What causes this issue?

According to transaction IRM_CUST, you have entered an indirect value
determination for a time reference for the ILM object. This means that
you also have to offer an active BAdI implementation for it. The
following time references are still missing an active BAdI
implementation: &V1& &V2& &V3& &V4&

System Response

INCLUDE ILM_STNDRD_CHECK_SYS_RESP_1 OBJECT DOKU ID TX

How to fix this error?

Create an active BAdI implementation for the BAdI <LS>BADI_IRM_OT_STT</>
. Specify your ILM object as the filter.
INCLUDE ILM_STNDRD_CHECK_WHATODO_1 OBJECT DOKU ID TX

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STANDARDS017 - Time reference &1, indirect value determin.: BAdI implementation missing ?

  The SAP error message ILM_STANDARDS017 indicates that there is a missing implementation of a Business Add-In (BAdI) related to the indirect value determination for a time reference in the Information Lifecycle Management (ILM) context. This typically occurs when the system is trying to determine a time reference for data retention or deletion, but it cannot find the necessary BAdI implementation to handle the specific logic required.
  Cause:
  
  Missing BAdI Implementation: The primary cause of this error is that the required BAdI implementation for the indirect value determination is not activated or does not exist in the system.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration issues in the ILM settings that prevent the system from correctly determining the time reference.
  Custom Development: If there are custom developments or modifications in the system, they may not have included the necessary BAdI implementations.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check BAdI Implementation:
  
  Go to transaction SE18 (BAdI Definition) and check for the BAdI related to the time reference determination. The BAdI you are looking for is typically named something like ILM_TIME_REFERENCE.
  If it exists, check if there is an active implementation. If not, you may need to create one.
  
  
  
  Create/Activate BAdI Implementation:
  
  If the BAdI is not implemented, you can create a new implementation in transaction SE19 (BAdI Implementation).
  Implement the necessary logic to determine the time reference based on your business requirements.
  
  
  
  Review ILM Configuration:
  
  Check the ILM configuration settings in transaction SICF or ILM Customizing to ensure that all necessary settings are correctly configured.
  Ensure that the time reference settings are properly defined in the ILM settings.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to ILM and the specific BAdI to understand the expected behavior and implementation details.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After implementing or activating the BAdI, perform tests to ensure that the error no longer occurs and that the time reference determination works as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional information or fixes related to this error.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered similar issues and what solutions they have found.
  ILM Documentation: Review the official SAP ILM documentation for best practices and guidelines on implementing BAdIs and configuring ILM.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ILM_STANDARDS017 error and ensure that the indirect value determination for time references is functioning correctly in your SAP system.
