• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /UI2/WD_CFG104 - Object &1 &2 cannot be used as a template because it does not exist ?

  The SAP error message /UI2/WD_CFG104 Object &1 &2 cannot be used as a template because it does not exist typically occurs in the context of SAP Fiori or Web Dynpro applications when the system is unable to find a specified object (like a UI component or configuration) that is required for a particular operation, such as creating a template.
  Cause:
  
  
  Non-Existent Object: The object specified in the error message (indicated by &1 and &2) does not exist in the system. This could be due to:
  
  The object was never created.
  The object was deleted or not properly transported to the system.
  There is a typo in the object name or ID.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the application may be incorrect, leading to the system looking for an object that is not available.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the object was supposed to be transported from another system (like Development to Quality or Production), it may not have been included in the transport request.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Object Existence: Check if the object (e.g., a UI component, configuration, or template) actually exists in the system. You can do this by:
  
  Using transaction codes like SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE11 (Data Dictionary) to search for the object.
  Checking the naming conventions and ensuring there are no typos.
  
  
  
  Create or Restore the Object: If the object does not exist:
  
  Create the object if it is supposed to be new.
  Restore it from a backup or recreate it if it was deleted.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If the object should have been transported:
  
  Verify the transport logs to ensure that the object was included in the transport request.
  If it was not transported, you may need to create a new transport request to move the object from the source system.
  
  
  
  Review Configuration Settings: Ensure that the configuration settings for the application are correct and point to the right objects.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the object or its purpose, refer to the SAP documentation or consult with a colleague who has experience with the specific application or module.
