  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message EA599 - When saving, process code '&' is also deleted in the ALE table ?

    The SAP error message EA599 typically indicates an issue related to the Application Link Enabling (ALE) configuration, specifically when saving changes that affect process codes in the ALE table. This error can occur in various scenarios, such as when you are trying to save a configuration or a change in the ALE settings.

    Cause:

    The error message EA599 is triggered when the system detects that a process code (denoted by '&') is being deleted or is no longer valid in the context of the ALE configuration. This can happen due to:

    1. Inconsistent Configuration: Changes made to the ALE configuration that lead to inconsistencies, such as removing a process code that is still in use.
    2. Missing Dependencies: The process code may have dependencies that are not being met, leading to its deletion.
    3. Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from one system to another, it might not have been properly adjusted for the target system.

    Solution:

    1. Check Configuration: Review the ALE configuration settings to ensure that all process codes are correctly defined and that there are no inconsistencies. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction codes (e.g., WE20 for partner profiles, WE21 for port definitions).

    2. Validate Process Codes: Ensure that the process code you are trying to save is valid and not being used elsewhere. If it is being used, you may need to update or remove those dependencies before proceeding.

    3. Review Change Logs: If the error occurred after a recent change, check the change logs to identify what modifications were made and whether they could have led to the deletion of the process code.

    4. Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all related objects were included in the transport request and that they were imported correctly into the target system.

    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to ALE and process codes for any specific guidance or known issues.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages (message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.

An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
