This message indicates that the system is expecting you to select specific objects (like programs, function modules, classes, etc.) for activation, but none have been selected.
  Cause:

  Incorrect Context: You might be in a context where the system expects you to select objects, but you are not in the right screen or transaction.

  Solution:
  
  Select Objects: Go back to the activation screen and ensure that you select the objects you want to activate. You can usually do this by checking the boxes next to the objects in the list.
  Check Context: Make sure you are in the correct transaction or screen where object selection is required. If you are unsure, refer to the documentation or help for the specific transaction.
