• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPAU028 - No objects selected ?

  The SAP error message SPAU028 ("No objects selected") typically occurs in the context of the SAP system's adjustment process, particularly when using the SPAU transaction to manage modifications and enhancements after an upgrade or support package installation. This message indicates that there are no objects available for adjustment in the current context.
  Cause:
  
  No Modifications: There may be no modified objects in the system that require adjustment. This can happen if the system was not customized or if all modifications were already adjusted in previous steps.
  Selection Criteria: The selection criteria set in the SPAU transaction may not match any existing objects. For example, filters may be too restrictive.
  Transport Requests: If the modifications were not included in the transport requests or if they were already adjusted in a previous upgrade, they will not appear in SPAU.
  System State: The system might be in a state where it does not recognize any objects needing adjustment, possibly due to a previous cleanup or adjustment process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Modifications: Verify if there are any modifications or enhancements that need adjustment. You can do this by checking the modification logs or using transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) to see if there are any transport requests related to modifications.
  Adjust Selection Criteria: Review and adjust the selection criteria in the SPAU transaction. Ensure that you are not filtering out relevant objects inadvertently.
  Review Transport Requests: Check if the relevant transport requests containing the modifications are correctly imported and not already adjusted.
  Use Other Transactions: If you suspect there are objects that need adjustment but they are not showing in SPAU, consider using other transactions like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE84 (Repository Information System) to explore the objects in the system.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP Notes and documentation related to SPAU and the specific upgrade or support package you are working with. There may be specific instructions or known issues related to your version.
