  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UG027 - SWITCHED_OFF: TADIR object & & & with development class & is switched off ?

    The SAP error message UG027 indicates that a TADIR object (which is a repository object in SAP) is switched off for a specific development class. This typically occurs when you are trying to transport or activate an object that is not allowed due to its status in the development class.

    Cause:

    The error message UG027 is triggered when:

    • The development class (package) associated with the object is set to "switched off" status. This means that the objects within this development class cannot be transported or activated.
    • This can happen if the development class is marked as "in development" or if it has been explicitly switched off by a developer or administrator.

    Solution:

    To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:

    1. Check Development Class Status:

      • Go to transaction SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary).
      • Enter the development class name and check its properties.
      • Ensure that the development class is not set to "switched off."
    2. Change Development Class Status:

      • If you have the necessary authorizations, you can change the status of the development class:
        • Go to transaction SE80.
        • Select the development class.
        • Right-click and choose "Change" or "Display."
        • In the properties, look for the option to switch it back on (this may involve changing the status to "released" or "in development").
    3. Consult with Your Basis Team:

      • If you do not have the necessary permissions to change the status, contact your SAP Basis team or system administrator. They can assist in changing the status of the development class.
    4. Check Transport Requests:

      • If you are trying to transport objects, ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and that the development class is included in the transport.
    5. Review Object Dependencies:

      • Sometimes, other objects or dependencies may also affect the status. Ensure that all related objects are in the correct state.

    Related Information:

    • TADIR Table: The TADIR table in SAP stores information about repository objects, including their status and development class.
    • Development Class: A development class (or package) is a container for related objects in SAP. It helps in organizing and managing objects for development and transport purposes.
    • Transport Management: Understanding the transport management system in SAP is crucial for managing changes across different environments (development, quality assurance, production).

    By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the UG027 error and successfully work with the TADIR object in question.
