• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TR699 - Application objects cannot be created in Basis systems ?

  The SAP error message TR699 indicates that application objects cannot be created in Basis systems. This error typically arises when there is an attempt to create or transport application objects (like programs, function modules, etc.) in a system that is not configured to allow such actions, often due to the system being classified as a Basis system.
  Cause:
  
  System Type: The system is classified as a Basis system, which is typically meant for system administration and does not support the creation of application objects.
  Transport Layer Configuration: The transport layer may not be correctly configured to allow the transport of application objects.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to create or transport application objects.
  Development Class: The development class of the object may not be set up correctly, or it may be pointing to a transport layer that is not valid for application objects.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check System Type: Ensure that you are working in a development system (DEV) rather than a Basis system (like a production or quality assurance system). Application objects should be created in a development environment.
  Correct Transport Layer: Verify that the transport layer is correctly configured. You can check this in transaction SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) or SE09 (Transport Organizer).
  User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to create and transport application objects. This can be checked in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Development Class: If you are trying to create an object in a specific development class, ensure that it is set up correctly and that it is associated with the correct transport layer.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to your specific version of SAP for any additional configuration or known issues.
