• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLEI_DEF_MSG109 - Design linkage is not allowed to transport from customizing mode ?

  The SAP error message SLEI_DEF_MSG109 indicates that there is an issue with transporting design linkages from customizing mode. This typically occurs when you attempt to transport certain objects or configurations that are not allowed to be transported due to their nature or the current system settings.
  Cause:
  The error is generally caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Customizing Mode Restrictions: The design linkages you are trying to transport are in customizing mode, which is not permitted for transport. Customizing settings are often meant to be client-specific and are not intended to be transported across systems.
  Transport Layer Settings: The transport layer settings may not allow certain objects to be transported, especially if they are linked to client-specific configurations.
  Object Type Restrictions: Certain object types or configurations may have restrictions on transportability due to their dependencies or the way they are defined in the system.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check Customizing Settings: Review the customizing settings and ensure that you are not trying to transport objects that are meant to remain client-specific. If necessary, adjust your approach to only include transportable objects.
  
  
  Use Transport Organizer: Make sure you are using the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10) correctly. Ensure that you are selecting the right transport request and that the objects you are trying to include are indeed transportable.
  
  
  Review Transport Layer: Check the transport layer settings for the objects you are trying to transport. You may need to adjust the transport layer or consult with your Basis team to ensure that the necessary configurations are transportable.
  
  
  Manual Configuration: If certain configurations cannot be transported, consider manually replicating the settings in the target system instead of relying on transport.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific objects you are working with. There may be specific guidelines or restrictions outlined by SAP.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot identify the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide insights specific to your system configuration or version.

  Transaction Codes: SE09 (Transport Organizer), SE10 (Transport Organizer - Modifiable Requests), SE01 (Transport Organizer - Transport Requests).
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with the TMS configuration and how it impacts transportability of objects.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a suitable solution.
