SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: OZ - Customizing Basis tools

• Message number: 118

• Message text: Properties of the object & of type & compared with ABAP Dictionary

What causes this issue?

The attributes of the object &V1& of type &V2& were compared with the
information from ABAP Dictionary. The function was either called
explicitly or the table piece list of the object was changed.

System Response

Some object attributes are not edited directly and are derived from ABAP
Dictionary instead. These are the following attributes:

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

<ZH>Category</>
The object category is synchronized with the table piece list. The
delivery classes in the object tables must not differ from the category.
The following rules apply:
the category CUST is not allowed for cross-client tables
the delivery classes W and S do not allow the category CUST for
client-specific tables nor the category CUSY for cross-client tables
the category APPL is only allowed for the delivery class A
<ZH>Transport</>
Tables (with text table), views, and view clusters flagged as <LS>
Standard Recording Routine</> in view maintenance, or for which
transport interface maintenance events are defined, are flagged as <LS>
Automatic Transport</>.
<ZH>Client-specific</>
An object is client-specific if the piece list tables are
client-specific.
<ZH>Translation-relevant</>
An object is translation-relevant if its piece list contains a table
which is translation-relevant.
<ZH>Piece list</>
For tables (with text tables) and views, the table object list is
generated from the definition in the ABAP Dictionary (for the generated
tables, the <LS>Dictionary</> flag is set). Tables added manually (the
<LS>Dictionary</> flag is not set here) are not affected. For view
clusters, the piece list of the views and tables involved is derived
from the view cluster definition.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message OZ118 - Properties of the object & of type & compared with ABAP Dictionary ?

  The SAP error message OZ118 indicates that there is a mismatch between the properties of an object and its definition in the ABAP Dictionary. This typically occurs when there are inconsistencies in the metadata of an object, such as a table, view, or data element, compared to what is defined in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Object Definition: The object (like a table or structure) has been modified in the ABAP Dictionary, but the changes have not been reflected in the corresponding program or function module.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies if the transport did not include all necessary changes.
  Manual Changes: Manual changes made directly in the database or through other means that are not reflected in the ABAP Dictionary can lead to this error.
  Versioning Issues: Different versions of the object may exist in different environments (development, quality assurance, production).
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Definition: Verify the properties of the object in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) and ensure they match the properties being used in the program or function module.
  Activate the Object: If changes were made to the object in the ABAP Dictionary, ensure that the object is activated. You can do this by navigating to the object in SE11 and activating it.
  Rebuild the Object: If the object is a program or function module, try to rebuild it. This can be done by going to the object in the ABAP Workbench and choosing the option to activate or regenerate it.
  Check Transport Requests: If the object was transported, check the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects were included and correctly imported into the target system.
  Consistency Check: Use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to perform a consistency check on the database objects. This can help identify and resolve inconsistencies.
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the program to identify where the mismatch occurs.
