  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SWDP_CONFIGURATION124 - The transportation of customizing with this API is not permitted. ?

    The SAP error message SWDP_CONFIGURATION124 indicates that there is an issue with the transportation of customizing settings using the specified API. This error typically arises when you attempt to transport certain customizing settings that are not allowed to be transported through the standard transport mechanism in SAP.

    Cause:

    1. Non-Transportable Customizing: The customizing settings you are trying to transport may be marked as non-transportable. This can happen if the settings are specific to a particular client or if they are not designed to be moved between systems.
    2. API Restrictions: The API you are using may have restrictions on what can be transported. Some APIs are designed for local configuration only and do not support transport.
    3. Missing Authorizations: Sometimes, the user executing the transport may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action.

    Solution:

    1. Check Customizing Settings: Review the customizing settings you are trying to transport. Ensure that they are indeed transportable. You may need to consult the documentation or SAP notes related to the specific customizing settings.
    2. Use Alternative Methods: If the settings are non-transportable, consider using alternative methods to replicate the configuration in the target system. This could involve manual configuration or using other tools like SAP Solution Manager.
    3. Review API Documentation: Check the documentation for the API you are using to understand its limitations and ensure you are using it correctly.
    4. Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the transport. You may need to work with your SAP security team to verify this.
    5. SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common issues.
