  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV21500020 - Structure &1 of component &2 is not defined in DDIC. ?

    The SAP error message CNV21500020 indicates that a specific structure (denoted as &1) of a component (denoted as &2) is not defined in the Data Dictionary (DDIC). This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using SAP's tools for data migration, such as the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other conversion tools.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Structure Definition: The structure that the system is trying to access does not exist in the Data Dictionary. This could be due to:

      • The structure not being created or activated.
      • The structure being deleted or not transported correctly from the development environment to the production environment.
      • A mismatch in the version of the component being used.
    2. Incorrect Configuration: The configuration settings for the migration or conversion process may be incorrect, leading the system to look for a structure that is not available.

    3. Transport Issues: If the component was recently transported, there may have been issues during the transport process that caused the structure to not be included.

    Solution:

    1. Check Structure Definition:

      • Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check if the structure &1 exists for the component &2.
      • If it does not exist, you may need to create it or ensure that it is properly defined.
    2. Transport Requests:

      • If the structure is missing, check the transport requests to ensure that the structure was included in the transport from the development system to the production system.
      • If it was not transported, you may need to create a new transport request to include the missing structure.
    3. Recheck Configuration:

      • Review the configuration settings for the migration or conversion process to ensure that they are correct and that they point to the right structures.
