• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMB/BA_GSS101 - &1 with key &2 is new in target, but does not exist in source ?

  The SAP error message /PLMB/BA_GSS101 &1 with key &2 is new in target, but does not exist in source typically occurs during data migration or system synchronization processes, particularly when using SAP's PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) module. This error indicates that there is a discrepancy between the target system and the source system regarding a specific object or record.
  Cause:
  
  
  Data Inconsistency: The error suggests that the target system has a new entry (object) that does not exist in the source system. This can happen if:
  
  The target system has been updated with new data that has not been replicated or migrated from the source system.
  There are differences in the configuration or data setup between the two systems.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: If the systems are not properly configured to synchronize or replicate data, it can lead to such discrepancies.
  
  
  Migration Errors: During data migration, if certain records are not transferred correctly or if there are issues with the migration scripts, this error can occur.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Data Verification: Check the specific object or record identified by the key &2 in the error message. Verify if it should exist in the source system. If it is a legitimate new entry, consider whether it needs to be migrated to the source system.
  
  
  Synchronize Data: If the target system has valid new entries, you may need to update the source system to include these entries. This can involve:
  
  Manually creating the missing records in the source system.
  Running a data migration or synchronization process to ensure both systems are aligned.
  
  
  
  Review Migration Process: If this error occurred during a migration, review the migration logs and processes to identify any failures or skipped records. Ensure that all necessary data is included in the migration.
  
  
  Configuration Check: Ensure that both systems are configured correctly for data synchronization. This may involve checking settings related to data replication, transport requests, or other integration points.
