• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR224 - Only DDIC or person responsible can change package ?

  The SAP error message TR224 ("Only DDIC or person responsible can change package") typically occurs when a user attempts to make changes to a transport request or package that they do not have the necessary authorization to modify. This is a security measure in SAP to ensure that only authorized personnel can make changes to certain objects.
  Cause:
  
  Authorization Issues: The user does not have the required authorizations to change the transport request/package. In SAP, only the Data Dictionary User (DDIC) or the person responsible for the transport request can make changes.
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow changes (e.g., released).
  Package Ownership: The package may be owned by another user, and the current user does not have the necessary permissions to modify it.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to change the transport request. This can be done by checking the user's roles and authorizations in transaction SU53 or by consulting with the security team.
  Contact the Responsible Person: If the user is not the owner of the transport request/package, they should contact the person responsible for it to request the necessary changes.
  Use DDIC User: If you have access to the DDIC user (which is typically reserved for system administrators), you can log in as DDIC to make the necessary changes.
  Change Transport Request Status: If the transport request is in a status that does not allow changes (like "released"), you may need to revert it to a modifiable status. This usually requires administrative privileges.
  Package Assignment: If the package is not assigned to the user, consider reassigning the package to the user or changing the ownership of the transport request.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: You may use transaction codes like SE09 (Transport Organizer) or SE10 (Transport Organizer for Workbench Requests) to view and manage transport requests.
  Authorization Objects: Check the relevant authorization objects (like S_TRANSPRT) to ensure that the user has the necessary permissions.
  SAP Notes: Look for SAP Notes related to transport management and authorization issues for additional guidance and troubleshooting steps.
  
  If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
