• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCWN562 - Do not change objects of type &2 in Support Package systems ?

  The SAP error message SCWN562 indicates that you are attempting to change objects of a certain type in a Support Package system, which is not allowed. This is a safeguard to ensure the integrity and stability of the system, as changes in a Support Package system can lead to inconsistencies and issues during the upgrade or support package application process.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You try to modify or create objects (like programs, function modules, etc.) that are part of the SAP standard delivery in a system that is designated as a Support Package system.
  The system is configured to prevent changes to standard objects to maintain the integrity of the support packages.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Avoid Modifications: Do not attempt to change standard objects in a Support Package system. Instead, use enhancement techniques such as:
  
  User Exits: Implement user exits to add custom functionality without modifying standard code.
  BAdIs (Business Add-Ins): Use BAdIs for enhancements that allow you to add custom logic.
  Enhancement Points: Utilize enhancement points provided by SAP for custom code.
  
  
  
  Development System: If you need to make changes to standard objects, you should do this in a development system (not a Support Package system). After making the necessary changes, transport them to the appropriate systems (like Quality Assurance or Production) as needed.
  
  
  Check System Configuration: Ensure that your system is correctly configured as a Support Package system. If you believe you need to make changes, consult with your SAP Basis team to understand the implications and the correct approach.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object type you are trying to change. There may be specific guidelines or best practices provided by SAP.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional context or solutions related to this error message.
