  The SAP error message 8Z175 indicates that there is an issue related to a composite index in the database. Specifically, it suggests that the index values for a composite index are not being maintained, which can lead to inconsistencies or performance issues when querying the database.
  Cause:
  
  Composite Index Definition: A composite index is an index that is created on multiple columns of a database table. If the values for these columns are not being maintained properly, it can lead to this error.
  Data Inconsistency: If the underlying data in the indexed columns is changed (inserted, updated, or deleted) without properly updating the index, it can cause discrepancies.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings in the SAP system that prevent the index from being maintained correctly.
  Database Constraints: The database may have constraints that are not being met, leading to the inability to maintain the index.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Index Maintenance Settings: Ensure that the index is set to be maintained in the database. You can do this by checking the index settings in the Data Dictionary (SE11).
  Rebuild the Index: If the index is corrupted or not functioning correctly, you may need to rebuild it. This can often be done through transaction codes like SE14 (Database Utility) or SE11.
  Data Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the data in the indexed columns to ensure that there are no discrepancies. You can use transaction codes like SE38 to run reports that check for data consistency.
  Review Application Logic: If the application logic is responsible for maintaining the index values, review the code to ensure that it is functioning as expected.
