• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SMT_CONFIG136 - Method &1 is asbstract ?

  The SAP error message SMT_CONFIG136, which states "Method &1 is abstract," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Software Management Tool (SMT) or during the configuration of certain objects in the system. This error indicates that the method being referenced is defined as abstract in the class definition, meaning it does not have an implementation and must be implemented in a subclass.
  Cause:
  
  Abstract Method: The method you are trying to call is declared as abstract in the class, which means it lacks a concrete implementation.
  Incorrect Class Usage: The class you are working with may not be the correct one, or you may be trying to instantiate an abstract class directly.
  Missing Implementation: If you are extending a class that contains abstract methods, you must provide implementations for those methods in the subclass.
  
  Solution:
  
  Implement the Method: If you are developing or modifying the class, ensure that you provide an implementation for the abstract method in the subclass.
  Check Class Hierarchy: Verify that you are using the correct subclass that implements the abstract method. If you are using a base class, switch to the appropriate subclass.
  Review Documentation: Check the SAP documentation or the class definition to understand the expected behavior and implementation requirements for the abstract method.
  Debugging: If you are unsure where the error is coming from, use debugging tools to trace the method calls and identify where the abstract method is being invoked.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Abstract Classes in ABAP: In ABAP, an abstract class can contain abstract methods that must be implemented in derived classes. This is a common practice in object-oriented programming to enforce a contract for subclasses.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific version of the software you are using.
  Community Forums: Consider searching or posting on SAP community forums or Stack Overflow for additional insights from other developers who may have encountered the same issue.
  
  If you continue to face issues, providing more context about the specific scenario in which the error occurs can help in diagnosing the problem further.
