• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message AMDP_DBG206 - Access to objects in external schemas is not allowed here. ?

  The SAP error message AMDP_DBG206: Access to objects in external schemas is not allowed here typically occurs when you are trying to access database objects (like tables or views) that are located in an external schema from an ABAP Managed Database Procedure (AMDP). This restriction is in place to ensure that the AMDPs maintain a level of security and integrity by not allowing access to external schemas directly.
  Cause:
  The error is caused by the following:
  
  The AMDP is attempting to access database objects that are not part of the same schema as the AMDP itself.
  The database user that is executing the AMDP does not have the necessary permissions to access the external schema.
  The AMDP is designed to work within the confines of the schema it is defined in, and accessing external schemas is not permitted.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
  
  
  Use Local Objects: Ensure that all database objects accessed within the AMDP are located in the same schema as the AMDP. If you need to access data from an external schema, consider creating a view or a table in the same schema that pulls data from the external schema.
  
  
  Create a Database View: If you need to access data from an external schema, you can create a database view in the same schema as the AMDP that references the external schema. This way, you can access the view without directly accessing the external schema.
  
  
  Check Permissions: Ensure that the database user executing the AMDP has the necessary permissions to access the objects in the external schema. However, even with permissions, direct access from AMDP is not allowed.
  
  
  Refactor Logic: If the logic requires accessing multiple schemas, consider refactoring your approach. You might need to perform the data retrieval in a different layer of your application (e.g., in an ABAP program or a different database procedure) and then pass the data to the AMDP for processing.
  
  
  Use Native SQL: If you absolutely need to access an external schema, consider using Native SQL in an ABAP program instead of AMDP, as Native SQL allows for more flexibility in accessing different schemas.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  AMDP: ABAP Managed Database Procedures are a way to execute database procedures directly from ABAP, leveraging the capabilities of the underlying database.
  Database Security: SAP enforces strict security measures to prevent unauthorized access to database objects, which is why this restriction exists.
  Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for AMDP and database access for more detailed guidelines and best practices.
  
  By following these solutions, you should be able to resolve the AMDP_DBG206 error and successfully manage your database access within the constraints of SAP's security model.
