• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AD114 - ATAB pooled table & does not start with T ?

  The SAP error message AD114 indicates that a table is defined as a pooled table but does not start with the letter "T". In SAP, pooled tables are a type of database table that is used to store data in a more compact form, and they are typically used for smaller tables that do not require a full database table structure. The naming convention for pooled tables in SAP requires that they start with the letter "T".
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  A table is defined as a pooled table in the Data Dictionary (SE11) but does not follow the naming convention (i.e., it does not start with "T").
  This can happen due to incorrect table naming during the creation of the table or when modifying an existing table.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Table Definition:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Enter the name of the table that is causing the error and check its properties.
  
  
  
  Rename the Table:
  
  If the table does not start with "T", you will need to rename it to comply with the naming convention for pooled tables. This may involve creating a new table with the correct name and migrating the data from the old table to the new one.
  
  
  
  Change Table Type:
  
  If the table does not need to be a pooled table, you can change its type to a transparent table or a different type that fits your requirements. This can be done in the table definition in SE11.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the table is part of a transport request, ensure that the changes are included in the transport request and that the request is released and imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that there are no dependencies or references to the old table name in your ABAP programs or other database objects.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Pooled Tables: These are used to store data in a compact format and are typically used for smaller datasets. They are stored in a single database table and can lead to performance improvements in certain scenarios.
  Naming Conventions: SAP has specific naming conventions for different types of database objects. It is important to follow these conventions to avoid errors and ensure compatibility with the SAP system.
  Data Migration: If you need to rename a table, consider how to migrate existing data. You may need to write ABAP programs or use tools like LSMW (Legacy System Migration Workbench) for data migration.
  
  If you continue to experience issues or if the error persists after making the necessary changes, consider consulting SAP documentation or reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.
