• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_ANA_CONF_MSG001 - Package &1 must be a local package ?

  The SAP error message MDG_ANA_CONF_MSG001 indicates that a package specified in the configuration or customization of the Master Data Governance (MDG) system must be a local package. This error typically arises when you attempt to use a non-local package (such as a transport package) for certain configurations that are expected to be local.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Local Package: The package you are trying to use is not a local package. In SAP, local packages are those that are created in the development system and are not intended for transport to other systems.
  Configuration Error: There may be a misconfiguration in the MDG settings where a package that is not local is being referenced.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, you might have mistakenly selected a package that is meant for transport rather than a local package.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Create a Local Package:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE01 or SE80.
  Create a new local package by selecting the option to create a package and ensuring that it is marked as a local package.
  Use this local package for your configuration.
  
  
  
  Change the Package Assignment:
  
  Navigate to the configuration area where the error occurred.
  Change the package assignment to the newly created local package.
  
  
  
  Check Configuration Settings:
  
  Review the configuration settings in the MDG application to ensure that all package assignments are correct and that no non-local packages are being referenced.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If you are working in a transport environment, ensure that you are using the correct transport requests and that they are properly configured.
