• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message 88106 - Database changes were undone ?

  The SAP error message "88106 Database changes were undone" typically indicates that a database operation was not completed successfully, and as a result, any changes made during that operation were rolled back. This can happen for various reasons, including:
  Causes:
  
  Database Locking Issues: Another transaction may have locked the database record, preventing the current transaction from completing.
  Integrity Constraints: The operation may violate database integrity constraints, such as foreign key or unique constraints.
  Timeouts: The operation may have taken too long, leading to a timeout and subsequent rollback.
  Insufficient Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to perform the operation.
  System Errors: There may be underlying system errors, such as hardware failures or issues with the database server.
  Application Logic Errors: There could be bugs in the application logic that lead to invalid operations.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction monitoring tools (like SM12 in SAP) to check for locks on the database records. If locks are found, you may need to wait for them to be released or resolve the locking issue.
  Review Integrity Constraints: Ensure that the data being inserted or updated does not violate any integrity constraints. Check the relevant database tables for constraints that may be causing the issue.
  Increase Timeout Settings: If timeouts are a frequent issue, consider increasing the timeout settings in the database or application configuration.
  Verify User Permissions: Ensure that the user executing the transaction has the necessary permissions to perform the operation.
  Check System Logs: Review system logs (such as ST22 for dumps or SM21 for system logs) for any related errors that could provide more context on the failure.
  Debug Application Logic: If the issue is related to application logic, debugging the relevant code may help identify and fix the problem.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes like SM12 (to check locks), ST22 (to check dumps), and SM21 (to check system logs).
  Database Administration: If you have access, consult with your database administrator to check for any underlying database issues or performance problems.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to error message 88106 in the SAP Support Portal, as there may be specific patches or updates that address known issues.
