• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCMP_EXCP017 - Object &1 (type &2) is in the exclusion list and is not compared ?

  The SAP error message SCMP_EXCP017 indicates that a specific object (identified by &1) of a certain type (identified by &2) is included in an exclusion list and therefore is not being compared during a comparison operation, such as during a transport or a system comparison.
  Cause:
  This error typically arises in the context of SAP Change and Transport System (CTS) or during system comparisons where certain objects are intentionally excluded from being compared. The exclusion list is often configured to avoid unnecessary comparisons for objects that are known to be irrelevant or that should not be modified.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Exclusion List:
  
  Identify the exclusion list that is being used in your system. This can usually be found in the configuration settings for the transport or comparison process.
  You can check the exclusion list in transaction SCU3 (for Change Document) or SCC1 (for client copy) depending on the context.
  
  
  
  Modify the Exclusion List:
  
  If the object should be included in the comparison, you will need to remove it from the exclusion list. This can typically be done by accessing the relevant configuration settings and editing the list.
  Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to make changes to the exclusion list.
  
  
  
  Re-run the Comparison:
  
  After modifying the exclusion list, re-run the comparison process to see if the error persists.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the implications of modifying the exclusion list, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP Basis or development team for guidance.
  
  
  
  Check for Custom Exclusions:
  
  Sometimes, custom programs or enhancements may have their own exclusion lists. Ensure that any custom logic is also reviewed.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools), SE09 (Workbench Organizer), and SE10 (Customizing Organizer) for managing transports and exclusions.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional context or solutions for this error message.
  System Logs: Review system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to address the SCMP_EXCP017 error and ensure that the necessary objects are included in your comparison processes.
