  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SH030 - Navigation is only possible for ABAP Workbench objects ?

    The SAP error message SH030, which states "Navigation is only possible for ABAP Workbench objects," typically occurs when a user attempts to navigate to an object that is not part of the ABAP Workbench. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when trying to access certain types of objects or transactions that are not recognized as ABAP Workbench objects.

    Cause:

    1. Non-ABAP Objects: The object you are trying to navigate to is not an ABAP Workbench object. This could include objects from other components or modules that do not fall under the ABAP Workbench category.
    2. Incorrect Object Type: The navigation might be attempted on an object type that is not supported for navigation in the context you are using.
    3. Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to access certain objects, leading to this error.

    2. Use Correct Navigation Path: Make sure you are using the correct transaction or navigation path to access the desired object. If you are trying to access a non-ABAP object, look for the appropriate transaction or method to access it.
    3. Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to access the object. If you suspect authorization issues, contact your SAP security administrator to check your roles and permissions.
