• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UGMD170 - Table &, role &: Must be local ?

  The SAP error message UGMD170 indicates that there is an issue with a table and a role in the context of the SAP system. Specifically, the message states that the table and role must be local, which typically means that the system is expecting the table to be defined locally within the system rather than being referenced from a remote system or a different client.
  Cause:
  
  Remote Table Reference: The error often occurs when there is an attempt to use a table that is not defined in the local client or system.
  Role Configuration: The role associated with the table may not be properly configured to allow access to the table in the local context.
  Transport Issues: If the table was transported from another system, it may not have been properly set up in the local environment.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Definition: Ensure that the table in question is defined in the local SAP system. You can do this by checking the Data Dictionary (SE11) to see if the table exists in the local client.
  Review Role Assignment: Verify that the role associated with the table is correctly assigned and configured. You can check this in the Role Maintenance (PFCG) transaction.
  Local Configuration: If the table is supposed to be local, ensure that it is created and activated in the local environment. If it is missing, you may need to create it or transport it correctly.
  Transport Management: If the table was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or issues that may have occurred during the transport process.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the table and the role. This can be checked in the user profile (SU01).
