  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_070022 - Data conversion program no longer valid and will be regenerated. ?

    The SAP error message /SAPDMC/LSMW_OBJ_070022 indicates that the data conversion program associated with a specific LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) object is no longer valid and needs to be regenerated. This typically occurs when there have been changes to the structure of the source data or the target system, or when the LSMW object has been modified.

    Cause:

    1. Changes in Source Structure: If the structure of the source data has changed (e.g., new fields added, existing fields modified), the existing data conversion program may not be compatible.
    2. Changes in Target Structure: Similar to source changes, if the target structure in the SAP system has been modified, the conversion program may need to be updated.
    3. Object Modifications: If the LSMW object itself has been modified (e.g., changes in mapping or conversion rules), the existing program may become invalid.
    4. Transport Issues: If the LSMW object was transported from one system to another, it may not have been properly activated or may have dependencies that are not met.

    Solution:

    1. Regenerate the Data Conversion Program:

      • Go to the LSMW transaction.
      • Select the relevant LSMW project, subproject, and object.
      • Navigate to the "Maintain Object Attributes" section.
      • Choose the option to regenerate the data conversion program. This will create a new program based on the current definitions and mappings.
    2. Check for Changes:

      • Review any recent changes made to the source or target structures.
      • Ensure that the field mappings in the LSMW object are still valid and reflect the current data structures.
    3. Test the Regenerated Program:

      • After regeneration, run a test to ensure that the data conversion works as expected.
      • Check for any additional error messages that may arise during the test run.
    4. Documentation:

      • Document any changes made to the LSMW object or the source/target structures for future reference.

    Related Information:

    • LSMW Documentation: Familiarize yourself with the LSMW documentation and guidelines provided by SAP to understand the best practices for data migration.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to LSMW or data conversion programs.
    • Community Forums: Engage with SAP community forums or support channels for additional insights or similar experiences from other users.

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully regenerate the data conversion program for your LSMW object.
