• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TP129 - Export from non-ABAP system - only object type FILE is permitted. ?

  The SAP error message TP129 indicates that there is an issue with the transport of objects from a non-ABAP system. Specifically, it states that only the object type FILE is permitted for export from such systems. This typically occurs when you are trying to transport objects that are not compatible with the transport system of SAP.
  Cause:
  
  Non-ABAP System: The error arises when you attempt to export objects from a non-ABAP system (like a Java system) using the transport management system (TMS) that is primarily designed for ABAP objects.
  Object Type: The transport system is configured to allow only certain object types to be exported from non-ABAP systems, and in this case, it only allows the FILE object type.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Types: Ensure that you are only trying to export objects of type FILE from the non-ABAP system. If you need to transport other types of objects, you may need to use a different method or tool that is compatible with those object types.
  Use the Correct Transport Method: If you need to transport non-ABAP objects, consider using the appropriate transport method for those objects. For example, you might need to use a different transport tool or manually move the objects if they are not compatible with TMS.
  Review Transport Configuration: Check the transport configuration in your SAP system to ensure that it is set up correctly for the types of objects you are trying to export. You may need to consult with your SAP Basis team for assistance.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to transport management for non-ABAP systems to understand the limitations and supported object types.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates regarding transport issues between ABAP and non-ABAP systems.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with how TMS works, especially in the context of non-ABAP systems, to better understand the limitations and capabilities.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums or support channels to seek advice from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
