• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NJIT_MSG091 - Package specification cannot be deactivated due to existing package units ?

  The SAP error message NJIT_MSG091 indicates that a package specification cannot be deactivated because there are existing package units that depend on it. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's transport management system or when managing software components in the SAP environment.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to deactivate a package specification that is still being referenced by one or more package units. Package units can include various objects such as programs, function modules, classes, or other development objects that are part of the package. If any of these objects are still active or in use, the package specification cannot be deactivated.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Identify Dependent Package Units:
  
  Use transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the package and identify which package units are still active or dependent on the package specification you are trying to deactivate.
  
  
  
  Deactivate or Remove Dependencies:
  
  If possible, deactivate or remove the package units that are dependent on the package specification. This may involve changing the status of the objects or moving them to a different package.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Objects:
  
  Ensure that there are no active objects in the package that are preventing the deactivation. You can check for active objects using transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) or SE80.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the package units are part of a transport request, you may need to release or delete the transport request associated with those units.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deactivation:
  
  Once you have addressed the dependencies, try to deactivate the package specification again.
