• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR279 - Specify IMG interfaces only for customizing objects ?

  The SAP error message TR279 ("Specify IMG interfaces only for customizing objects") typically occurs when you are trying to transport objects that are not meant to be included in the Implementation Guide (IMG) transport. This error is related to the transport of customizing settings in SAP.
  Cause:
  The error arises when you attempt to include non-customizing objects (like development objects, programs, or other non-IMG related items) in a transport request that is designated for customizing objects. The IMG (Implementation Management Guide) is specifically meant for configuration settings that are part of the customizing process in SAP.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you should follow these steps:

  Create a New Transport Request: If you have mistakenly included non-customizing objects in a customizing transport request, create a new transport request specifically for those objects.
  
  
  Use the Correct Transport Type: When creating transport requests, ensure you are using the correct type (e.g., customizing, workbench) based on the objects you are transporting.
  
  
  Check IMG Settings: If you are unsure about which objects are considered customizing, refer to the IMG settings in your SAP system. You can access the IMG through transaction SPRO.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SPRO (to access the IMG), SE09 (to manage transport requests), and SE10 (to display transport logs).

  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might provide additional insights or updates regarding this error message.
