• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_MBT_SHELL229 - Single .str file created for table &1 ?

  The SAP error message CNV_MBT_SHELL229 indicates that a single .str file has been created for a specific table during a data migration or conversion process. This message is typically associated with the SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit or other data migration tools within SAP.
  Cause:
  The error message usually arises when the data migration process encounters a situation where it is unable to create multiple .str files for a particular table. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Data Volume: The amount of data being processed for that table is small enough that it does not warrant splitting into multiple files.
  Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that dictate how data is split into files, and these settings may not be optimal for the current data set.
  Table Structure: The structure of the table or the nature of the data may not allow for effective partitioning into multiple files.
  Migration Tool Limitations: The migration tool being used may have limitations or bugs that prevent it from creating multiple files.
  
  Solution:
  To address this issue, consider the following steps:
  
  Review Data Volume: Check the volume of data in the table. If it is indeed small, then a single .str file may be appropriate.
  Check Configuration Settings: Review the configuration settings of the migration tool to ensure that they are set up correctly for your data volume and structure.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the official SAP documentation for the migration tool you are using to understand the expected behavior and any limitations.
  Update Migration Tool: Ensure that you are using the latest version of the migration tool, as updates may contain bug fixes or improvements related to file handling.
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you believe it should be creating multiple files, consider reaching out to SAP Support for further assistance.
