• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UG039 - CUSTDEV: Only the documentation of object & & & is exported ?

  The SAP error message UG039 indicates that only the documentation of a specific object is being exported, and it typically arises during the transport of objects in the SAP system. This message is often related to the transport of custom developments or configurations, particularly when the system is trying to export objects that do not have any associated data or code to transport.
  Cause:
  
  No Transportable Objects: The object you are trying to export may not have any transportable components. For example, if you are trying to transport a custom development (like a program or function module) that has not been fully defined or lacks associated data, the system will only export the documentation.
  Incomplete Object Definition: The object might be incomplete or not properly defined in the system, leading to the export process recognizing it as only having documentation.
  Transport Layer Issues: There could be issues with the transport layer configuration, which might prevent the proper export of the object.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Definition: Ensure that the object you are trying to export is fully defined and contains all necessary components. For example, if it’s a program, make sure it has code and is activated.
  Review Transport Request: Check the transport request to ensure that it includes all necessary objects. You may need to add missing objects manually.
  Recreate the Object: If the object is incomplete or corrupted, consider recreating it to ensure that it is properly defined and can be transported.
  Check Transport Layer Configuration: Verify that the transport layer is correctly configured and that there are no issues with the transport routes.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object type you are working with for any additional guidance.
