• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SMT_CONFIG142 - Exporting parameter E_OK of type SMT_BOOLEAN is not defined ?

  The SAP error message SMT_CONFIG142 indicates that there is an issue with the exporting parameter E_OK of type SMT_BOOLEAN not being defined in the context of a function module or method. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's Solution Manager or when working with specific configuration or custom development scenarios.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Definition: The parameter E_OK is not defined in the function module or method signature. This could be due to a missing declaration in the ABAP code.
  Incorrect Function Module Call: The function module or method is being called incorrectly, leading to the absence of the expected parameter.
  Version Mismatch: If you are using a version of a function module that does not support the E_OK parameter, this error may occur.
  Transport Issues: If the function module was transported from another system, it might not have been properly configured in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Function Module/Method Definition:
  
  Go to the transaction SE37 (for function modules) or SE80 (for classes/methods) and check the definition of the function module or method you are working with.
  Ensure that the exporting parameter E_OK is defined correctly.
  
  
  
  Modify the Code:
  
  If E_OK is missing, you may need to add it to the function module or method signature.
  Ensure that the data type is correctly set to SMT_BOOLEAN.
  
  
  
  Review Calling Code:
