• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TG138 - & test or local private SAP objects are recorded in TADIR ?

  The SAP error message TG138 typically indicates that there is an issue related to the transport of objects in the SAP system. Specifically, it often refers to the fact that certain objects, such as test or local private objects, are recorded in the TADIR table, which is used to manage the transport directory in SAP.
  Cause of Error TG138
  
  Local Objects: The error usually arises when you attempt to transport local objects (objects that are not part of a transport request) or test objects that are not meant to be transported.
  TADIR Entries: The TADIR table contains entries for all objects that are transportable. If you have local or test objects that are not properly managed, they may cause this error when you try to perform a transport operation.
  
  Solution
  
  Check Object Status: Review the objects you are trying to transport. Ensure that they are not local or test objects. You can do this by checking the object type and status in the relevant development environment.
  Remove Local/Test Objects: If you find that there are local or test objects included in your transport request, you will need to remove them. You can do this by:
  
  Going to the transport request in the Transport Organizer (SE09 or SE10).
  Removing the local or test objects from the request.
  
  
  Create Transport Requests: If you need to transport certain objects, ensure that they are included in a proper transport request. You may need to create a new transport request for the objects you want to move to the target system.
  Use Transport Organizer: Utilize the Transport Organizer to manage your transport requests effectively. Ensure that all objects are correctly categorized and that only transportable objects are included in the requests.
  
  Related Information
  
  TADIR Table: The TADIR table is a key component in SAP transport management. It contains metadata about all objects that can be transported, including their type, status, and transport request association.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with the Transport Management System in SAP, which helps manage the transport of objects between different SAP systems (development, quality assurance, production).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions related to error TG138. SAP Notes can often provide specific fixes or workarounds for known issues.
  
  Testing and Validation
  
  After making the necessary changes, test the transport process again to ensure that the error has been resolved.
  Validate that the objects you intended to transport are now correctly included in the transport request and that no local or test objects are present.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the TG138 error and manage your SAP transport requests more effectively.
