  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SFW032 - Transport of cross-client objects not allowed ?

    The SAP error message SFW032 indicates that there is an attempt to transport cross-client objects in a way that is not permitted. This typically occurs when you are trying to transport objects that are meant to be client-independent (cross-client) but are being handled in a client-dependent manner.

    Cause:

    1. Cross-Client Objects: The error usually arises when you attempt to transport objects that are defined as cross-client (like certain configuration settings, data dictionary objects, etc.) from a client that is not the original client where they were created.
    2. Transport Request: The transport request may be incorrectly configured or may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the transport.
    3. Client Settings: The client settings may restrict the transport of certain objects.

    Solution:

    1. Check Transport Request: Ensure that the transport request you are using is appropriate for the objects you are trying to transport. Cross-client objects should be included in a transport request that is designated for cross-client transport.
    2. Use Correct Client: Make sure you are in the correct client when trying to transport cross-client objects. Typically, you should be in the client where the objects were originally created.
    3. Review Object Types: Verify the types of objects you are trying to transport. If they are indeed cross-client, ensure that they are being handled correctly in the transport process.
    4. Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the transport. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator.
    5. Transport Management System (TMS): Use the Transport Management System to manage your transports properly. Ensure that the transport routes are correctly configured.
    6. SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.

    Related Information:

    • Cross-Client vs. Client-Dependent: Understand the difference between cross-client and client-dependent objects in SAP. Cross-client objects are shared across all clients in the system, while client-dependent objects are specific to a particular client.
    • Transport Layers: Familiarize yourself with the transport layers and how they affect the transport of objects in SAP.
    • SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for more detailed information on transport management and handling errors related to transports.

    If the issue persists after following these steps, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or reach out to SAP support for further assistance.
