    The SAP error message CNV_CMIS_A_20_FUNC042 with the description "No DDIC information found for table &" typically occurs during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using the SAP Conversion Tools or during the execution of a custom program that interacts with the Data Dictionary (DDIC).

    Cause:

    1. Missing Table Definition: The error indicates that the system cannot find the Data Dictionary (DDIC) information for the specified table. This could happen if:

      • The table does not exist in the system.
      • The table is not activated or has not been properly defined in the DDIC.
      • There is a typo in the table name being referenced.
      • The table is part of a transport request that has not yet been imported into the target system.
    2. Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to access the DDIC information for the specified table.

    3. System Configuration: If the system is not properly configured or if there are inconsistencies in the database, it may lead to this error.

    Solution:

    1. Check Table Existence: Verify that the table exists in the system. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) and checking if the table is listed there.

    2. Activate the Table: If the table exists but is not activated, you may need to activate it. This can also be done in transaction SE11.

    3. Correct Table Name: Ensure that the table name being referenced in the error message is correct. Look for any typos or incorrect references in your code or configuration.

    4. Check Transport Requests: If the table is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport has been successfully imported into the target system.

    5. User Authorizations: Check the authorizations of the user executing the transaction. Ensure that the user has the necessary permissions to access the DDIC information.

    6. System Consistency: If there are inconsistencies in the database or system configuration, consider running consistency checks or consulting with your SAP Basis team to resolve any underlying issues.
