• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BCV/CFG221 - MIME file is a local object and can not be included into request &1 ?

  The SAP error message /BCV/CFG221 MIME file is a local object and can not be included into request &1 typically occurs when you are trying to transport a MIME object (such as images, stylesheets, or other media files) that is defined as a local object in the SAP system. Local objects are those that are not assigned to a transport request and are usually created in the development environment.
  Cause:
  
  Local Object: The MIME file is created as a local object (with the object name starting with $TMP), which means it is not part of any transport request.
  Transport Request: You are attempting to include this local MIME object in a transport request, which is not allowed.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you need to ensure that the MIME file is part of a transportable object. Here are the steps you can follow:
  
  
  Create a Transport Request:
  
  Go to the transaction code SE80 (Object Navigator) or SE78 (SAP ArchiveLink).
  Create a new transport request if you do not have one already.
  
  
  
  Change the MIME Object:
  
  Navigate to the MIME object in the system.
  Use the transaction code SICF to find the MIME object.
  Change the MIME object from a local object to a transportable object. This can usually be done by copying the MIME object to a new one that is assigned to the transport request.
  
  
  
  Reassign the MIME Object:
  
  If you have created a new MIME object, ensure that it is assigned to the transport request you created earlier.
  You can do this by using the SE80 or SE78 transaction to include the MIME object in the transport request.
  
  
  
  Release the Transport Request:
  
  Once the MIME object is included in the transport request, you can release the transport request using transaction SE09 or SE10.
  
  
  
  Test the Transport:
  
  After releasing the transport request, you can import it into the target system to ensure that the MIME file is available there.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  MIME Repository: In SAP, MIME files are stored in the MIME repository, which is part of the Web Application Server. You can manage MIME files using transaction SE78.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Understanding how the TMS works can help you manage transport requests effectively.
  Local Objects: Local objects are typically used for development and testing purposes. They are not meant to be transported to other systems.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and successfully transport the MIME file to the desired system.
