• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TA256 - Dev. deliv. entries only data only ?

  The SAP error message TA256 ("Development delivery entries only data only") typically occurs in the context of transport requests and development objects. This message indicates that the transport request you are trying to work with contains only data records and does not include any development objects (like programs, function modules, etc.) that can be transported.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Request Type: The transport request is of a type that only includes data (e.g., customizing requests) and does not contain any development objects.
  Incorrect Request: You may be trying to transport a request that is not intended for the objects you are working with.
  Missing Objects: The objects you expect to be included in the transport request may not have been added to the request.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Transport Request: Verify the type of transport request you are using. If you need to transport development objects, ensure you are using a workbench request instead of a customizing request.
  Add Development Objects: If you need to include development objects, you may need to create a new transport request of the appropriate type and add the necessary objects to it.
  Review Object Inclusion: Ensure that the objects you want to transport are included in the transport request. You can do this by checking the request in the Transport Organizer (transaction SE09 or SE10).
  Create a New Transport Request: If necessary, create a new transport request and manually add the required development objects.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Organizer: Use transaction codes SE09 or SE10 to manage transport requests.
