• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOTR_MESS184 - No aliases are allowed for local objects ?

  The SAP error message SOTR_MESS184 ("No aliases are allowed for local objects") typically occurs when you are trying to create or use an alias for a local object in the SAP system. Local objects are those that are created in the development environment and are not intended to be transported to other systems (like production). 
  Cause:
  The error arises because SAP does not allow the use of aliases for local objects. Local objects are identified by the prefix $TMP, and they are meant for temporary development purposes. When you attempt to create an alias for such objects, the system restricts this action to maintain the integrity of the local object concept.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Avoid Using Aliases: If you are trying to create an alias for a local object, you should refrain from doing so. Instead, use the local object directly without creating an alias.
  
  
  Change Object Type: If you need to use an alias for your object, consider changing the object type from a local object to a transportable object. This means you would need to create the object in a package rather than as a local object. 
  
  
  Check Object References: Review your code or configuration to ensure that you are not inadvertently trying to reference a local object with an alias.
  
  
  Use Proper Naming Conventions: Ensure that your naming conventions for objects do not conflict with the restrictions imposed by SAP for local objects.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Local Objects: Local objects are typically used for development and testing purposes. They are not included in transport requests and are specific to the development environment.
  Transportable Objects: These are objects that can be transported between different SAP systems (like from development to production) and are usually created within a package.
  SAP Documentation: For more detailed information, you can refer to the SAP Help Portal or the specific documentation related to the object type you are working with.
  
  If you continue to face issues, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or development team for further assistance, as they may have additional insights based on your specific environment and configuration.
