  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message BXX121 - Database error while inserting table &1 with values &2 &3 &4 ?

    The SAP error message BXX121 indicates a database error that occurred while trying to insert data into a specific table. The placeholders in the message (&1, &2, &3, &4) represent the table name and the values that were attempted to be inserted.

    Causes:

    1. Primary Key Violation: The values being inserted may violate a primary key constraint, meaning that a record with the same key already exists in the table.
    2. Foreign Key Violation: The values may not satisfy foreign key constraints, meaning that the referenced record in another table does not exist.
    3. Data Type Mismatch: The data types of the values being inserted may not match the expected data types of the table columns.
    4. Database Locking: The table may be locked by another transaction, preventing the insert operation from completing.
    5. Insufficient Permissions: The user may not have the necessary permissions to perform the insert operation on the specified table.
    6. Database Corruption: There may be corruption in the database that is preventing the insert operation from succeeding.

    Solutions:

    1. Check for Duplicates: Verify if the values being inserted already exist in the table, especially for primary key fields.
    2. Validate Foreign Keys: Ensure that all foreign key references are valid and that the referenced records exist in their respective tables.
    3. Data Type Verification: Check that the data types of the values being inserted match the column definitions in the table.
    4. Release Locks: If the table is locked, wait for the other transaction to complete or investigate the locking issue.
    5. Permissions Review: Ensure that the user executing the insert has the necessary permissions to modify the table.
    6. Database Integrity Check: Run database integrity checks to identify and resolve any corruption issues.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the table structure and constraints.
    • ST22: Check the dump analysis in transaction ST22 for any short dumps that may provide more context on the error.
    • SM21: Review the system log in transaction SM21 for any related error messages or warnings.
    • SQL Trace: Use transaction ST05 to activate SQL trace and analyze the SQL statements being executed to identify the root cause of the error.

    If the issue persists after checking the above points, it may be necessary to consult with your SAP Basis team or database administrator for further investigation.
