• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MDG_DT_DATA_MODEL099 - Transport request should be provided to transport switch BC set. ?

  The SAP error message MDG_DT_DATA_MODEL099 indicates that a transport request is required for the transport switch BC set in the context of Master Data Governance (MDG). This error typically arises when you are trying to activate or configure a data model in MDG without having the necessary transport request in place.
  Cause:
  The error occurs due to the following reasons:
  
  Missing Transport Request: The system requires a transport request to be created and assigned to the configuration changes you are trying to make. This is a common requirement in SAP systems to ensure that changes can be transported between different environments (e.g., from development to quality assurance to production).
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration might not be properly set up, or the necessary BC set (Business Configuration Set) is not activated or assigned correctly.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, the system may not allow certain changes without a transport request.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, follow these steps:
  
  
  Create a Transport Request:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE09 or SE10 in the SAP GUI.
  Create a new transport request if one does not exist.
  Ensure that the transport request is assigned to the changes you are making.
  
  
  
  Assign the Transport Request:
  
  If you are in a configuration transaction (like MDG customizing), ensure that you assign the transport request to the changes you are making.
  You can do this by selecting the transport request in the relevant configuration screen.
  
  
  
  Activate the BC Set:
  
  After assigning the transport request, try to activate the BC set again.
  Use transaction code SIMG to navigate to the relevant BC set and ensure it is activated.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all dependencies for the data model and BC set are met. Sometimes, other configurations or settings may need to be adjusted.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP Help documentation or notes related to MDG and the specific data model you are working with for any additional requirements or steps.
