SDCBO017
- Package missing. TADIR entry will not be written for table &. ?The SAP error message SDCBO017 indicates that there is a missing package for a specific table, which prevents the TADIR entry from being written. TADIR is a database table in SAP that stores information about the objects in the SAP system, including their packages.
Cause:
The error typically occurs due to one of the following reasons:
- Missing Package Assignment: The table in question does not have an associated package. In SAP, every object (like tables, programs, etc.) should be assigned to a package. If it is not, the system cannot create a TADIR entry for it.
- Transport Request Issues: If you are trying to transport objects and the package is missing, it can lead to this error.
- Development Environment Issues: If you are working in a development environment and the object was created without a package or was created in a local object (package
$TMP
), this error may occur.Solution:
To resolve the error, you can follow these steps:
Check Package Assignment:
- Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11).
- Enter the name of the table that is causing the error.
- Check the package assignment in the table's attributes. If it is assigned to
$TMP
or is empty, you need to assign it to a proper package.Assign a Package:
- If the table is not assigned to a package, you can assign it to an appropriate package:
- In SE11, select the table and click on "Change."
- In the attributes, find the "Package" field and assign it to a valid package.
- Save your changes.
Transport Request:
- If you are working with transport requests, ensure that the package is included in the transport request. You may need to create a new transport request if necessary.
Check for Local Objects:
- If the object is a local object (created in
$TMP
), consider moving it to a proper package if it is intended for transport or production use.Recheck TADIR Entries:
- After making the changes, you can check the TADIR entries again to ensure that the entry for the table is created successfully.

If the problem persists after following these steps, you may need to consult with your SAP Basis team or refer to SAP Notes for further troubleshooting.
