How To Fix IMG_CONS038 - Customizing Object with Invalid Object Category

IMG_CONS038 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IMG_CONS - Messages for IMG_CONS Checkman

• Message number: 038

• Message text: Customizing Object with Invalid Object Category

&WHAT_FOR&
The transport object category in SOBJ is incorrect.
The client-dependence of the tables in the piece list determines which
transport category the customizing object can have. A piece list can
only contain either only client-specific or only cross-client tables. In
the former case, the customizing object can be of type APPL (table
delivery class A), CUST (C, E, G, L), CUSY (S) or SYST (W), in the
latter case APPL (A, C, E, G, L), CUSY (S) or SYST (W). The specified
values are proposals, the transport object category can be changed in
SOBJ, in the sequence APPL->CUST->CUSY->SYST. APPL is the most specific
case, SYST the most general. The transport category determines which
changes or recordings are put in which type of transport request
(customizing or workbench)(Note: APPL is handled like SYST). If the
transport category is incorrect, the data is not written into the
correct transport requests.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

The entries in the piece list, the client-dependency and other criteria,
determine the transport category, APPL, CUST, CUSY or SYST. The correct
category is in the CheckMan error message. The SOBJ consistency check
should have the same result.
To solve the problem, enter the correct transport object category in the
customizing object header data in SOBJ.
