• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TSGEN021 - No packages selected to be generated ?

  The SAP error message TSGEN021, which states "No packages selected to be generated," typically occurs during the process of generating transport packages in the SAP system. This error indicates that the system did not find any packages that meet the criteria for generation, which can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Objects Selected: The most common cause is that no objects have been selected for inclusion in the transport request. This can happen if the developer or user did not include any changes or objects in the transport request.
  
  
  Incorrect Filter Settings: If you are using filters to select objects for transport, the filters may be set in such a way that they exclude all objects.
  
  
  Transport Request Status: The transport request may be in a status that does not allow for generation, such as being released or not properly configured.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to generate transport packages, leading to the system not allowing any selections.
  
  
  Technical Issues: There may be technical issues or inconsistencies in the transport directory or the transport management system.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Object Selection: Ensure that you have selected the appropriate objects for the transport request. You can do this by going to the transport request and verifying the objects included.
  
  
  Review Filter Settings: If you are using filters, review them to ensure they are not excluding all objects. Adjust the filters as necessary.
  
  
  Check Transport Request Status: Verify the status of the transport request. If it is in a status that does not allow generation, you may need to change its status or create a new transport request.
  
  
  Authorization Check: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to generate transport packages. You may need to consult with your SAP security team if you suspect authorization issues.
