    The SAP error message CNV_CMIS_A_20_FUNC038 indicates that the comparison process has been halted because the Data Dictionary (DDIC) information for a specific table is not found in the specified package. This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Conversion and Migration Information System (CMIS).

    Cause:

    1. Missing DDIC Information: The primary cause of this error is that the Data Dictionary information for the specified table is not available in the SAP system. This could happen if:

      • The table is a custom table that has not been properly defined in the DDIC.
      • The table is part of a package that is not activated or is missing.
      • There are inconsistencies in the transport requests or the system configuration.
    2. Incorrect Package Assignment: The table might be assigned to a different package than expected, leading to the system being unable to locate the DDIC information.

    3. System Configuration Issues: There may be issues with the system configuration or the migration tools being used, which could prevent the proper retrieval of DDIC information.

    Solution:

    1. Check Table Definition: Verify that the table in question is correctly defined in the Data Dictionary. You can do this by:

      • Using transaction SE11 to check the table definition.
      • Ensuring that the table exists and is active.
    2. Verify Package Assignment: Check if the table is assigned to the correct package. If it is a custom table, ensure that it is included in the appropriate package and that the package is activated.

    3. Transport Requests: If the table was recently created or modified, ensure that the transport requests have been properly imported into the system. You can check the transport logs for any errors.

    4. Re-run the Migration Process: After verifying the above points, try to re-run the migration or conversion process to see if the error persists.

    5. Consult SAP Notes: Look for relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common issues.

    6. Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP Support for further assistance. Provide them with detailed information about the error, including the table name and package.

    Related Information:
