• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WRF_CHAR_VAL117 - No characteristics to be migrated could be selected ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WRF_CHAR_VAL117 – No characteristics to be migrated could be selected
  
  Cause
  This error occurs during the migration or transfer of characteristics (typically in the context of classification data migration, e.g., from legacy systems to SAP or between SAP systems) when the system cannot find any characteristics that meet the selection criteria specified for migration.
  In other words, the selection parameters or filters used to identify characteristics for migration do not match any existing characteristics in the source system or dataset. This could be due to:
  
  Incorrect or too restrictive selection criteria.
  Characteristics not existing or not assigned in the source system.
  Data inconsistencies or missing data in the source.
  Incorrect migration object or migration step being used.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Selection Criteria:
  
  Review the selection parameters used for migrating characteristics.
  Ensure that the criteria (e.g., characteristic names, characteristic types, classification system, validity dates) are correct and not overly restrictive.
  Remove or relax filters to broaden the selection.
  
  
  
  Verify Source Data:
  
  Confirm that the characteristics actually exist in the source system or dataset.
  Check if the characteristics are active and valid for the migration period.
  Ensure that the classification system and class assignments are correct.
  
  
  
  Migration Object and Steps:
  
  Verify that the correct migration object is selected for characteristics migration.
  Check if the migration step is appropriate and correctly configured.
  
  
  
  Check Transport or Migration Tools:
  
  If using SAP Migration Cockpit or LSMW, verify the mapping and source structure.
  Ensure that the source file or data source contains the characteristics data.
  
  
  
  Debug or Log Analysis:
  
  Review detailed logs or enable debugging to identify why no characteristics are selected.
  Look for messages or warnings preceding this error.
  
  
  
  
  Related Information
  
  This message is common in classification data migration scenarios, especially when migrating characteristics and characteristic values.
  It is often encountered in tools like SAP Migration Cockpit, LSMW, or custom migration programs.
  Characteristics are key elements in SAP Classification (transaction codes like CL02, CL20N).
  Proper understanding of the classification system and data model is essential for successful migration.
  SAP Notes or OSS messages related to migration of classification data may provide additional guidance.
