  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_OR_PE009 - DDIC type &1 is not a structure (system ID=&2) ?

    The SAP error message CNV_OR_PE009 indicates that there is an issue with a Data Dictionary (DDIC) type that is expected to be a structure but is not recognized as such in the system. This error typically arises during data migration or conversion processes, particularly when using SAP's tools for data transfer or transformation.

    Cause:

    1. Incorrect DDIC Type: The specified DDIC type (&1) is not defined as a structure in the SAP system. It could be a table, a data element, or another type that does not meet the expected structure format.
    2. Missing or Incomplete Definition: The structure may not be defined in the system, or it may have been deleted or not activated properly.
    3. System ID Mismatch: The error message indicates a specific system ID (&2), which may suggest that the type is expected to exist in a different system or client.

    Solution:

    1. Check DDIC Type: Verify the definition of the DDIC type in transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary). Ensure that the type is indeed a structure and is correctly defined.
    2. Activate the Structure: If the structure exists but is not activated, activate it in SE11.
    3. Correct Type Usage: If the type is not a structure, you may need to adjust the code or configuration that references this type to use the correct DDIC type.
    4. Transport Issues: If this error occurs after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects have been transported correctly and that the target system has the required definitions.
    5. Check System Consistency: If the error persists, check for inconsistencies in the system. You may need to run consistency checks or consult with your SAP Basis team.
    6. Consult Documentation: Review any relevant documentation or notes from SAP regarding the specific migration or conversion process you are performing.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), SE37 (Function Module), and ST22 (Dump Analysis) can be useful for troubleshooting.
    • SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to the specific error message or the migration tool you are using. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common issues.
