• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TG118 - Object & & & is not entered in TADIR. ?

  The SAP error message TG118 indicates that a specific object (denoted by the placeholders & & &) is not found in the TADIR table. The TADIR table is a key component in SAP that stores information about the development objects in the system, including their type, name, and the package they belong to. This error typically arises when you are trying to access or transport an object that is not properly registered in the TADIR table.
  Cause:
  
  Object Not Created Properly: The object may not have been created correctly or completely, leading to its absence in the TADIR table.
  Transport Issues: If the object was supposed to be transported from one system to another, it may not have been included in the transport request.
  Deletion: The object might have been deleted or not activated, which can lead to it not being registered in TADIR.
  Development Class Issues: The object may not be assigned to a proper development class or package, which is necessary for it to be recorded in TADIR.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Creation: Verify that the object has been created correctly. If it is a custom object, ensure that it was saved and activated properly.
  Recreate the Object: If the object is missing, you may need to recreate it. Ensure that you follow the correct steps for creation and activation.
  Transport Request: If the object is supposed to be in a transport request, check the transport logs to ensure it was included. If not, you may need to add it to a transport request and re-import it.
  Check Development Class: Ensure that the object is assigned to a valid development class/package. If it is not, you may need to assign it to an appropriate package.
  Use Transaction SE80: You can use transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) to check the status of the object and see if it is listed in the TADIR table.
  TADIR Table Check: You can directly check the TADIR table using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to see if the object is listed. If it is not, you may need to investigate further.
