• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CHK_CLASH_OBJECTS214 - Field &1 has different key flags: local &2, remote &3 ?

  The SAP error message CHK_CLASH_OBJECTS214 indicates that there is a conflict in the key flags of a field between two different objects, typically when working with data transport or replication between systems. The message specifies that the field in question has different key flags in the local and remote systems.
  Cause:
  This error usually arises in the following scenarios:
  
  Inconsistent Configuration: The field definitions in the local and remote systems are not aligned. This can happen if changes were made to the field's key flags in one system but not in the other.
  Transport Issues: If you are transporting objects (like tables or structures) from one system to another, and the key flags of the fields differ, this error will occur.
  Version Mismatch: Different versions of the same object in different systems can lead to discrepancies in field definitions.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Field Definitions:
  
  Compare the field definitions in both the local and remote systems. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to view the table or structure definitions.
  Look specifically at the key flags of the field in question.
  
  
  
  Align Key Flags:
  
  If you find discrepancies, you will need to align the key flags. This may involve changing the field definition in one of the systems to match the other.
  Ensure that the field is defined consistently across both systems.
  
  
  
  Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose during a transport, ensure that the transport request is correctly configured and that all necessary objects are included.
  You may need to re-transport the object after making the necessary changes.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies:
  
  Sometimes, other objects may depend on the field in question. Ensure that any dependent objects are also consistent across systems.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making the changes, test the functionality to ensure that the error is resolved and that the system behaves as expected.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Key Flags: Key flags determine whether a field is part of the primary key or a unique key in a database table. Understanding how these flags work is crucial for database integrity.
  Transport Management System (TMS): Familiarize yourself with TMS if you are frequently transporting objects between systems. Proper management can help avoid such issues.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or development team for further assistance.
