• Message text: Table &1 does not exist. It is used by repository &2.

What causes this issue?

There is an error in the table settings for the SAP Knowledge Provider.
During maintenance of the repositories for document contents, a content
repository was created for storage in database table &V1&. However, this
table does not exist in the current system or is not active. It is
possible that transport requests were not carried out in the correct
sequence and the missing or inactive table will be imported in a
subsequent transport request.

System Response

In this status, the system cannot use write access or read-only access
for documents to be stored in database table &V1&. A short dump will
occur if users attempt to access the documents.

How to fix this error?

The settings must be returned to a consistent status. You should run
program RSIRGENT after the subsequent transport requests. If the missing
table is imported in a subsequent transport request, this program will
allow access to the documents involved.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 1R462 - Table &1 does not exist. It is used by repository &2. ?

  The SAP error message 1R462 indicates that a specific table (denoted as &1) does not exist in the system, but it is being referenced by a repository object (denoted as &2). This error typically arises during operations that involve data dictionary objects, such as when trying to access or modify a table that has not been created or has been deleted.
  Causes:
  
  Table Deletion: The table may have been deleted or not created in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the table was supposed to be transported from another system, the transport might not have been executed successfully.
  Incorrect Naming: There might be a typo in the table name or the repository object that references it.
  Development Environment: The table might exist in a different environment (e.g., development) but not in the current environment (e.g., production).
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to view or access the table.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check Table Existence: Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the table &1 exists. If it does not, you may need to create it or restore it from a backup.
  Review Transport Requests: If the table was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs and ensure that the transport request was successfully imported into the system.
  Correct Naming: Verify that the table name and repository object name are correctly spelled and referenced.
  Environment Consistency: Ensure that the table exists in the environment you are working in. If it exists in another environment, you may need to transport it.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the table. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
