• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060058 - Notepad editor opened locally ?

  The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_060058 indicates that the Notepad editor has been opened locally, which is typically related to the use of the Legacy System Migration Workbench (LSMW) in SAP. This error can occur when the system is trying to execute a process that requires a specific editor or environment, but it finds that the Notepad editor is being used instead.
  Cause:
  
  Local Editor Configuration: The system may be configured to use Notepad as the default editor for certain file types or processes, which can lead to compatibility issues.
  File Handling: The process may require a specific file format or handling that is not supported by Notepad.
  User Settings: User-specific settings in SAP or the operating system may be directing the system to open files in Notepad instead of the required editor.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Change Default Editor:
  
  Check the settings in SAP to ensure that the appropriate editor is configured for the task you are performing. You may need to set a different text editor that is compatible with SAP processes (e.g., Notepad++, or any other preferred editor).
  You can change the editor settings in SAP by navigating to the transaction SE38 and executing the program RSADMIN. Look for parameters related to the editor configuration.
  
  
  
  Use SAP GUI Settings:
  
  In the SAP GUI, go to Options > Local File > Editor and set the preferred editor for text files.
  
  
  
  Check User Profile:
  
  Ensure that your user profile does not have any specific settings that force the use of Notepad. You can check this in transaction SU01 under the user parameters.
  
  
  
  File Format:
  
  Ensure that the file you are trying to edit or process is in the correct format that the LSMW expects. If it is not, convert it to the required format.
  
  
  
  Reopen the Process:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to reopen the LSMW process and see if the error persists.
