• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /PLMI/ER_CI_TRANS027 - Value of parameter &1 cannot be removed; migrated eng. records exist ?

  The SAP error message /PLMI/ER_CI_TRANS027 indicates that a specific parameter (denoted as &1) cannot be removed because there are migrated engineering records associated with it. This typically occurs in the context of SAP PLM (Product Lifecycle Management) or similar modules where parameters or attributes are linked to engineering records, and removing them could lead to data integrity issues.
  Cause:
  
  Linked Engineering Records: The parameter you are trying to remove is still linked to existing engineering records. This means that there are data dependencies that prevent the deletion of the parameter.
  Data Integrity Constraints: SAP enforces data integrity rules to ensure that no critical data is lost or orphaned when parameters are removed.
  
  Solution:
  
  Identify Linked Records: First, you need to identify which engineering records are linked to the parameter. You can do this by checking the relevant tables or using transaction codes that allow you to view dependencies.
  Remove Dependencies: Once you have identified the linked records, you will need to either:
  
  Update the engineering records to remove the dependency on the parameter.
  Delete the engineering records if they are no longer needed (ensure that this is in line with your data governance policies).
  
  
  Retry Removal: After addressing the dependencies, you can attempt to remove the parameter again.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to explore the relevant tables and find linked records.
  Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific details on the parameter and its usage within your PLM context.
  Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert who can provide guidance based on your specific system configuration.
  
  Best Practices:
  
  Backup Data: Always ensure that you have backups of your data before making changes, especially deletions.
  Test Changes: If possible, test the changes in a development or sandbox environment before applying them to production.
  Review Data Governance Policies: Ensure that any changes comply with your organization's data governance and compliance policies.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully manage the parameters in your SAP system.
