  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UG020 - MODIF: No TADIR entry for & & ?

    The SAP error message UG020, which states "MODIF: No TADIR entry for & &", typically occurs when there is a missing entry in the TADIR table for a specific object type and object name. The TADIR table is a directory that contains information about all the objects in the SAP system, including their type, name, and other metadata.

    Cause:

    1. Missing TADIR Entry: The most common cause of this error is that the object you are trying to access or modify does not have a corresponding entry in the TADIR table. This can happen if the object was not properly transported or if it was deleted.
    2. Transport Issues: If the object was supposed to be transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include the necessary entries, this error can occur.
    3. Development Environment Issues: If you are working in a development environment and the object was created but not activated or saved correctly, it may not have a TADIR entry.

    Solution:

    1. Check TADIR Table: Use transaction SE11 or SE16 to check the TADIR table for the specific object type and name that is causing the error. You can look for entries that match the object you are trying to access.
    2. Create Missing Entry: If you find that the entry is indeed missing, you may need to create it manually or ensure that the object is properly activated and saved.
    3. Transport the Object: If the object is supposed to be in the system but is missing, check the transport requests to ensure that the object was included and successfully imported into the target system.
    4. Recreate the Object: If the object is not recoverable, you may need to recreate it in the system, ensuring that it is properly saved and activated to generate the necessary TADIR entry.
    5. Check Authorization: Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the object in question.

    Related Information:

    • TADIR Table: This table contains metadata about all objects in the SAP system, including their transport status and other relevant information.
    • Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how transports work in SAP can help prevent issues related to missing TADIR entries.
    • SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address specific issues related to the UG020 error message or TADIR entries.
