• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TD098 - Object & & & does not exist (deleted during import) ?

  The SAP error message TD098, which states "Object & & & does not exist (deleted during import)," typically occurs during the transport of objects in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system is trying to access an object (like a program, function module, or other development objects) that has been deleted or is not available in the target system.
  Cause:
  
  Object Deletion: The object in question was deleted in the source system after the transport request was created but before it was imported into the target system.
  Transport Request Issues: The transport request may not have included all necessary objects or dependencies, leading to missing objects in the target system.
  Inconsistent System State: The target system may not be in sync with the source system, possibly due to manual changes or incomplete transports.
  Transport Order: The transport order may not have been executed in the correct sequence, leading to dependencies not being met.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify if the object exists in the source system. If it has been deleted, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a backup if possible.
  Re-import Transport Request: If the transport request is incomplete, you may need to re-import it or create a new transport request that includes all necessary objects.
  Check Transport Logs: Review the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate why the object is missing. This can provide insights into what went wrong during the transport process.
  Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects are included in the transport request. If an object relies on another object that was not transported, it may lead to this error.
  Manual Correction: If the object is critical and cannot be restored, you may need to manually recreate the object in the target system.
  Consult Documentation: Check SAP notes or documentation related to the specific object type for any known issues or additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with TMS, as it manages the transport of objects between SAP systems.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  System Synchronization: Regularly synchronize your development, quality assurance, and production systems to avoid inconsistencies that can lead to such errors.
  Change Management: Implement a robust change management process to track changes in the source system and ensure that all necessary objects are included in transport requests.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to diagnose and resolve the TD098 error in your SAP system.
