Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS196 - CTE column value references to an invalid column name (COLNAME_ID=&1) ?

  The SAP error message ACMDT_OBJSTATUS196 indicates that there is an issue with a column name reference in a CTE (Common Table Expression) within a SQL query. Specifically, the error suggests that the column name referenced (indicated by COLNAME_ID=&1) does not exist or is invalid in the context of the query being executed.
  Cause:
  
  Invalid Column Name: The column name specified in the CTE does not match any existing column in the referenced tables or views.
  Typographical Error: There may be a typo in the column name, leading to the reference being invalid.
  Schema Changes: If the database schema has changed (e.g., columns were renamed or removed), the query may reference outdated column names.
  Contextual Issues: The CTE may not be correctly defined or may not have access to the columns it is trying to reference.
  
  Solution:
  
  Verify Column Name: Check the SQL query for the correct spelling of the column name. Ensure that it matches exactly with the column names in the database schema.
  Check Schema: Review the database schema to confirm that the column exists in the relevant table or view. If it has been renamed or removed, update the query accordingly.
  Review CTE Definition: Ensure that the CTE is defined correctly and that it has access to the columns it is trying to reference. Make sure that the CTE is properly structured and that all necessary tables are included.
  Debugging: If possible, run the query without the CTE to isolate the issue. This can help determine if the problem lies within the CTE or elsewhere in the query.
  Consult Documentation: If you are unsure about the structure of the CTE or the tables involved, refer to the SAP documentation or database schema documentation for guidance.
