• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BA224 - &1 is not a transparent DB table, but is contained in cluster &2 ?

  The SAP error message BA224 indicates that the system is trying to access a database table that is not a transparent table but is instead part of a cluster table. This typically occurs when there is an attempt to perform operations that are only valid for transparent tables, such as certain types of data manipulation or reporting.
  
  Cause:
  
  Cluster Tables: In SAP, cluster tables are used to store related data in a single table for efficiency. They are not transparent tables, meaning they do not have a one-to-one mapping with a physical database table. Instead, they are stored in a more complex structure.
  Incorrect Table Usage: The error can occur if a program or transaction is trying to access a cluster table as if it were a transparent table, which is not allowed.
  Data Dictionary Definitions: The data dictionary definitions may be incorrect or not aligned with the expected usage of the tables.
  
  
  Solution:
