• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /SDF/CMO_SYS102 - Object &1 needs object &2; the latter does not exist in the source system ?

  The SAP error message /SDF/CMO_SYS102 indicates that there is a dependency issue between two objects in the SAP system. Specifically, it states that an object (denoted as &1) requires another object (denoted as &2), but the latter does not exist in the source system. This error typically arises in the context of SAP Data Intelligence, SAP Cloud Platform, or other SAP systems that involve object dependencies.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Object: The object &2 that is required by &1 is not present in the source system. This could be due to:
  
  The object was never created.
  The object was deleted or not transported correctly.
  There is a mismatch in the transport requests or system configurations.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If you are working in a landscape with multiple SAP systems (e.g., Development, Quality Assurance, Production), the object may not have been transported correctly from one system to another.
  
  
  Configuration Errors: There may be configuration issues or inconsistencies in the system that prevent the object from being recognized.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify if the object &2 exists in the source system. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction codes relevant to the object type (e.g., SE11 for Data Dictionary objects, SE80 for development objects).
  Searching for the object in the relevant repository.
  
  
  
  Create or Transport the Missing Object: If the object &2 does not exist:
  
  If it was never created, you will need to create it in the source system.
  If it was deleted or not transported, you may need to transport it from the development system or recreate it.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: Ensure that all relevant transport requests have been properly released and imported into the target system. You can check the transport logs for any errors.
  
  
  Review Dependencies: If the object &1 has dependencies on multiple objects, ensure that all required objects are present in the source system.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific objects you are working with for any additional guidance.
