• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PF1/MSG_EH_BAPI_EH053 - Parameter "TA_OWNER" must be filled by the calling program ?

  The SAP error message /PF1/MSG_EH_BAPI_EH053 Parameter "TA_OWNER" must be filled by the calling program indicates that a required parameter, TA_OWNER, is not being provided when calling a specific BAPI (Business Application Programming Interface) related to the Event Handler (EH) functionality in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error occurs because the BAPI expects the TA_OWNER parameter to be populated with a valid value, but it is either missing or set to an empty value in the calling program. This parameter typically represents the owner of the task or event handler and is essential for the BAPI to process the request correctly.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you need to ensure that the TA_OWNER parameter is correctly populated before calling the BAPI. Here are the steps you can take:
  
  
  Identify the Calling Program: Determine which program or function module is calling the BAPI that generates this error.
  
  
  Check Parameter Mapping: Review the code to ensure that the TA_OWNER parameter is being set correctly. This may involve:
  
  Assigning a valid user ID or owner value to the TA_OWNER parameter.
  Ensuring that the value is not null or empty.
  
  
  
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the parameter is being set, you can use the SAP debugger to step through the code and check the values being passed to the BAPI.
  
  
  Documentation Review: Consult the SAP documentation for the specific BAPI you are using to understand the expected values and data types for the TA_OWNER parameter.
  
  
  Testing: After making the necessary changes, test the program again to ensure that the error is resolved.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  BAPI Documentation: Look for the specific BAPI documentation in the SAP Help Portal or within the SAP system using transaction code SE37 (Function Module) or SE80 (Object Navigator).
  Event Handler Management: If you are working with Event Handlers, familiarize yourself with the Event Management module in SAP, as it may provide additional context on how to manage tasks and owners.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this error or provide additional guidance on the BAPI in question.
