• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BA126 - Table & is not a transparent database table ?

  The SAP error message BA126 indicates that the specified table is not a transparent database table. This error typically arises in the context of data modeling or when trying to access or manipulate a database table that is not structured as a transparent table in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Transparent Table: The table you are trying to access is a pooled table or a cluster table, which are not considered transparent tables. Transparent tables have a one-to-one relationship with database tables, while pooled and cluster tables do not.
  Incorrect Table Name: There might be a typo or an incorrect table name specified in your query or program.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user might not have the necessary authorizations to access certain types of tables.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Type: Verify the type of the table you are trying to access. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and checking the table definition. If it is a pooled or cluster table, you will need to handle it differently.
  Use Transparent Tables: If your application logic requires a transparent table, consider using a different table that is transparent or redesigning your data model to use transparent tables.
  Correct Table Name: Double-check the table name in your code or query to ensure it is correct.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the table. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Pooled Tables: These are tables that store data from multiple tables in a single table in the database. They are used to optimize storage and are not directly accessible like transparent tables.
  Cluster Tables: Similar to pooled tables, cluster tables store data from multiple tables but are structured differently. They are also not directly accessible.
  Data Dictionary (SE11): This transaction allows you to view and manage database objects in SAP, including tables, views, and data elements.
  ABAP Development: If you are developing in ABAP, ensure that your data access logic is compatible with the type of tables you are working with.
