  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 5T112 - Table & is not active (when accessing 'NAMETAB_GET') ?

    The SAP error message 5T112 indicates that a specific table is not active when trying to access it, particularly in the context of the function module NAMETAB_GET. This error typically arises when the table in question has not been activated in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) or if there are issues with the table's definition.

    Cause:

    1. Table Not Activated: The most common cause is that the table has been created but not activated. This can happen if the table was recently created or modified.
    2. Transport Issues: If the table was transported from another system and the transport did not complete successfully, the table may not be active.
    3. Database Issues: There could be issues with the underlying database that prevent the table from being recognized as active.
    4. Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, the table may not have been activated after changes were made.

    Solution:

    1. Activate the Table:

      • Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction code SE11).
      • Enter the name of the table that is causing the error.
      • Check the status of the table. If it is not active, activate it by clicking on the "Activate" button (or using the menu option).
    2. Check Transport Requests:

      • If the table was transported, check the transport logs to ensure that the transport was successful and that there were no errors during the transport process.
      • If there were issues, you may need to re-transport the table or manually activate it in the target system.
    3. Check for Database Issues:

      • Ensure that the database is functioning correctly. You may need to check for any database locks or issues that could prevent the table from being accessed.
