• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_STORAGE_BUS085 - Type &1 does not exist in DDIC ?

  The SAP error message:
  WGDS_STORAGE_BUS085 Type &1 does not exist in DDIC
  typically occurs in the context of SAP Global Trade Services (GTS) or when working with Business Object Repository (BOR) or Data Dictionary (DDIC) objects.
  
  Explanation of the Error
  
  
  Cause:
  
  The error indicates that a specific data type (denoted by &1 in the message, which is a placeholder for the actual type name) is not found in the Data Dictionary (DDIC). This means that the system is trying to reference a DDIC type that either:
  
  Does not exist,
  Has been deleted,
  Or is not properly activated in the system.
  
  
  
  This often happens during:
  
  Importing or activating objects,
  Running custom code or standard SAP programs that reference DDIC types,
  Working with storage or business object types in SAP GTS or other modules that rely on DDIC types.
  
  
  
  
  Common Causes
  
  
  Missing or inactive DDIC type:
  
  The type referenced in the error message is not created or activated in the system.
  
  
  Transport issues:
  
  The type might exist in the development system but was not transported to the current system.
  
  
  Incorrect or outdated references:
  
  Custom developments or configurations might be referencing an old or incorrect type name.
  
  
  System inconsistencies:
  
  Sometimes inconsistencies in the DDIC or BOR can cause such errors.
  
  
  
  How to Identify the Missing Type
  
  
  The error message will show the missing type name in place of &1. For example, if the message is:
  WGDS_STORAGE_BUS085 Type ZMY_TYPE does not exist in DDIC
  then ZMY_TYPE is the missing type.
  
  
  You can check the existence of the type in transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary):
  
  Go to SE11.
  Enter the type name.
  Check if it exists and is active.
  
  
  
  
  Solutions
  
  
  Create or activate the missing type:
  
  If the type does not exist, create it in SE11.
  If it exists but is inactive, activate it.
  
  
  
  Transport the missing type:
  
  If the type exists in another system (e.g., development), ensure it is transported to the current system.
  
  
  
  Correct the references:
  
  Check the program, configuration, or object that references the type.
  Correct the type name if it is misspelled or outdated.
  
  
  
  Check for system inconsistencies:
  
  Run consistency checks in DDIC or BOR if applicable.
  Use transaction SLIN or SCI to check for syntax or consistency issues.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes and Support:
  
  Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to this error.
  If the problem persists, consider raising a support ticket with SAP, providing the exact type name and context.
