  The SAP error message TR498 ("Request & not yet exported") typically occurs in the context of transport requests in SAP. This message indicates that a transport request has been created but has not yet been exported to the transport directory. This can happen for various reasons, and understanding the cause and solution can help you resolve the issue.
  Causes:
  
  Transport Request Not Released: The transport request may not have been released. Only released transport requests can be exported.
  Transport Directory Issues: There may be issues with the transport directory configuration or permissions that prevent the export.
  Transport Management System (TMS) Configuration: Incorrect configuration of the TMS can lead to issues with exporting transport requests.

  Solutions:
  
  
  Release the Transport Request:
  
  Go to the Transport Organizer (transaction code SE09 or SE10).
  Find the transport request in question.
