• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SZDM_CC_CHKS_TITLES018 - Switch BADI impl. is not compliant to Zero Downtime Option (ZDO) rules ?

  The SAP error message SZDM_CC_CHKS_TITLES018 indicates that a Business Add-In (BAdI) implementation is not compliant with the Zero Downtime Option (ZDO) rules. This typically occurs during a system upgrade or when implementing changes in a system that is intended to support zero downtime.
  Cause:
  The error arises when the BAdI implementation does not adhere to the guidelines set forth for ZDO. Common causes include:
  
  
  Incompatible Code: The BAdI implementation may contain code that is not compatible with the ZDO framework, such as:
  
  Direct database updates.
  Use of non-transactional operations.
  Any operations that could lead to inconsistencies during the upgrade process.
  
  
  
  Missing Annotations: The implementation may lack the necessary annotations or configurations that indicate it is ZDO-compliant.
  
  
  Improper Handling of Exceptions: If the BAdI implementation does not properly handle exceptions or errors, it may lead to issues during the upgrade.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Review BAdI Implementation: Check the code in the BAdI implementation for any operations that are not ZDO-compliant. This includes:
  
  Avoiding direct database updates.
  Ensuring that all operations are transactional and can be rolled back if necessary.
  
  
  
  Add Annotations: Ensure that the BAdI implementation has the necessary annotations that indicate it is compliant with ZDO. This may involve adding specific annotations in the implementation code.
  
  
  Test in a Non-ZDO Environment: If possible, test the BAdI implementation in a non-ZDO environment to identify any issues that may arise during the upgrade.
  
  
  Consult SAP Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation regarding ZDO and BAdI implementations. This documentation provides guidelines and best practices for ensuring compliance.
  
  
  Engage SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They can provide insights specific to your implementation and help identify compliance issues.
