• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_PE_CHECK357 - Access path (&1,&2): Index parameter does not exist ?

  The SAP error message CNV_PE_CHECK357 indicates that there is an issue with an access path in the context of a data migration or conversion process. Specifically, the error states that the index parameter does not exist for the specified access path. This typically occurs during the execution of a conversion program or when accessing data structures that are expected to have certain indices defined.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Index: The most common cause of this error is that the index specified in the access path does not exist in the database table or view being accessed.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data migration settings or parameters that reference an index that has not been created or has been deleted.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been changes to the underlying data model (e.g., changes in table structure, removal of indices), this can lead to discrepancies in the access paths.
  Transport Issues: If the transport of objects (like database tables or indices) was not successful, it could lead to missing indices in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Index Existence: Verify that the index specified in the error message exists in the database. You can do this by checking the database table definition in the SAP Data Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Recreate Index: If the index is missing, you may need to recreate it. This can be done using transaction SE11 or SE14 (for database utilities).
  Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to the data migration or conversion process to ensure that they are correctly set up and that they reference valid indices.
  Adjust Access Path: If the index is no longer needed or relevant, consider adjusting the access path in the program or configuration to use a different index or to not use an index at all.
  Consult Documentation: Review any relevant SAP notes or documentation related to the specific migration or conversion process you are working on, as there may be known issues or additional steps required.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 to check table definitions and SE14 for database utilities.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to the specific migration or conversion process you are using, as they may provide additional insights or solutions.
  Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can debug the program to see where the error is being triggered and gather more context about the access path being used.
  
  If the issue persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support or consulting with a technical expert who specializes in SAP data migration and conversion processes.
