• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UG117 - ADDON: Only the documentation of object & & & is exported ?

  The SAP error message UG117 indicates that during the export of an add-on, only the documentation of the specified object is being exported, and not the actual object itself. This typically occurs in the context of SAP transport management, where objects (like programs, function modules, etc.) are being transported between different SAP systems.
  Cause:
  
  Incomplete Object Definition: The object you are trying to export may not be fully defined or may be missing some components that are necessary for a complete export.
  Transport Layer Issues: There may be issues with the transport layer configuration, which can prevent the complete export of the object.
  Object Type Restrictions: Certain object types may have restrictions on how they can be exported or may require specific settings to be exported correctly.
  Documentation Only Flag: The object might have been marked or configured to only export documentation, which can happen if the object is not fully activated or is in a development state.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Definition: Ensure that the object you are trying to export is fully defined and activated. Check for any missing components or dependencies.
  Review Transport Layer Settings: Verify the transport layer settings in your SAP system. Ensure that the transport layer is correctly configured and that you have the necessary authorizations to perform the export.
  Check Object Type: Review the type of object you are trying to export. Make sure it is eligible for transport and that you are following the correct procedures for that object type.
  Recreate the Transport Request: If the issue persists, consider recreating the transport request for the object. Sometimes, transport requests can become corrupted or misconfigured.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object type you are working with. There may be specific instructions or known issues that can help resolve the problem.
