• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WXP248 - Assign a transaction or a program name ?

  SAP Error Message:
  WXP248 - Assign a transaction or a program name
  
  
  Cause:
  This warning message appears when you are trying to create or maintain a Web Dynpro application or component and the system detects that neither a transaction code nor a program name has been assigned to the Web Dynpro application or component. SAP requires that a Web Dynpro application be linked to either a transaction code or a program name so that it can be executed properly.
  
  Explanation:
  
  In Web Dynpro development, an application or component must be executable.
  To execute a Web Dynpro application, it must be assigned either:
  A transaction code (which can be called from the SAP GUI), or
  A program name (which can be called directly).
  
  
  If neither is assigned, the system cannot determine how to start the application, hence the warning.
  
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Assign a Transaction Code:
  
  Go to the Web Dynpro application/component in the SAP GUI or Web Dynpro development environment.
  Assign an existing transaction code
