Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message CNV_PE_TPM073 - Table &1 does not exist. Force Insert is active. Table data is ignored ?

  The SAP error message CNV_PE_TPM073 indicates that during a data migration or transformation process, the system encountered a situation where it expected to find a specific table (denoted as &1 in the error message) but could not locate it. The message also mentions that "Force Insert is active," which means that the system is set to bypass certain checks and insert data regardless of the existence of the target table.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Table: The most straightforward cause is that the specified table does not exist in the database. This could be due to:
  
  The table not being created as part of the migration process.
  The table being dropped or not activated in the target system.
  A typo or incorrect table name in the migration configuration.
  
  
  
  Configuration Issues: There may be issues in the configuration of the migration tool or process that lead to the system looking for a table that should not be referenced.
  
  
  Data Model Changes: If there have been changes in the data model (e.g., during an upgrade or system conversion), the expected tables may have been renamed or removed.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Table Existence: Check if the table mentioned in the error message actually exists in the target database. You can do this by executing a SQL query or using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) in SAP.
  
  
  Check Migration Configuration: Review the migration configuration settings to ensure that the correct tables are being referenced. If the table is not supposed to be part of the migration, adjust the configuration accordingly.
  
  
  Create the Table: If the table is indeed required for the migration and does not exist, you may need to create it manually or ensure that the migration process includes the creation of this table.
  
  
  Disable Force Insert: If the "Force Insert" option is not necessary, consider disabling it to allow the system to perform the necessary checks before inserting data. This may help in identifying other underlying issues.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or notes related to the specific migration process you are using. There may be specific instructions or prerequisites that need to be followed.
  
  
  Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists and you cannot determine the cause, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance. They may provide insights based on the specific context of your system and migration.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE16 (Data Browser), and others that can help you investigate the database structure.
  Migration Tools: If you are using specific SAP migration tools (like SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit), check the documentation for those tools for any known issues or troubleshooting steps.
  SAP Notes: Search for SAP Notes related to the error message or the migration process you are using. SAP Notes often contain fixes or workarounds for known issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the cause of the error and implement a solution to resolve it.
