How To Fix SDC_ANALYSIS_KIND103 - Document Has no Master Language


SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: SDC_ANALYSIS_KIND - INTERNAL: Document analysis - kind of findings

  • Message number: 103

  • Message text: Document Has no Master Language

  • Show details Hide details
  • &MEANING&
    The document exists in several languages, but the master (original)
    language is not defined.

    What causes this issue?

    The original language of the documentation can be the same as the
    original language of its main object. However, it is not a 'must'.
    For example, for a function module, which belongs to the function group
    with original language German, some parameters, which require docu
    should be added. The docu creation is done by non-german speaking
    person. He creates it in the transaction SE61 with language English.
    Therefore, original language of such document will be English.
    The value ?X? in field MASTERLANG in table DOKIL defines the original
    language. All SAP Tools work with this field, when the original language
    needs to be determined.
    When this error occurs in the checked system, some language versions of
    the document for the affected object exist. But <ZH>NONE</> of them has
    the ?X? in the field MASTERLANG to define the original language.
    If the original language cannot be determined, no further checks are
    performed for such documents.

    How to fix this error?

    You have to check / verify, if the affected object, for example data
    element, message, function module and so on, requires documentation or
    not.
    If documentation is not required, trigger the deletion of the document
    in all languages.
    If the documentation is required, two major cases needs to be
    considered:
    If a version of the document in planned original language exists, this
    one could be reused.
    If there is none in the desired language, you would have to create the
    docu with status ?Active? from scratch.
    <ZH>Possible activities to resolve the missing original language</>:
    Actions for deleting the document in all languages:
    If error is raised for <ZH>Message</> (docu class 'NA'):
    Set explicitly self-explanatory flag for the message in transaction
    SE91.
    Self-explanatory flag means, that 'Object explained sufficiently by
    short text' and therefore does not require documentation.
    If error is raised for <ZH>Data Element</> (docu class 'DE'):
    Use menu: <LS>GoTo->Documentation->Status</> in transaction SE11 and
    select one of the statuses: 'Object is not used in any screen' or
    'Object explained sufficiently by short text'.
    If error is raised for object from another docu class:
    Use transaction of your main object, for example, SE37 for function
    modules and its parameters or SE24 for classes / interfaces and their
    methods. Create the dummy document from there. This is necessary to
    receive the required entry in a transport request. Then delete the
    document from the Docu-Editor, to get the deletion transported through
    the system landscape.
    You also can create & delete the dummy document for parameters,
    mentioned in the error message, in transaction SE61.
    If a version of the document exists in your development / correction
    system, creation of dummy document will be not possible. In this case
    select the 'Edit' in transaction SE61, make dummy change, to receive the
    required entry in the transport request. Then delete the document.
    Actions for restoring of the document
    On initial screen of transaction SE61 select a language in which
    document exists and which you would like to have as original language of
    your document.
    Use button 'Change' and make dummy change to create / select a transport
    request.
    If there is no version in the wished language, it is better first to
    transport the deletion in all languages as described before and after
    that create the document from scratch with state 'Active'.
    Actions for creation of the document
    Use either transaction of your main object, for example, SE91 for
    messages, SE11 for data elements, and create the docu in the original
    language of your main object. Or use the transaction SE61 and select the
    language, which you would like to have as original language, as well as
    document class from error message and document name.
    Save the version of the document with state 'Active' and assign it to a
    feasible transport request.
    &HINTS&
    Do not forget to release the transport request, which contains either
    documentation object itself or corresponding dictionary / repository
    object.
