  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DA414 - No data exists (structure change caused by DROP / CREATE) ?

    The SAP error message DA414 ("No data exists (structure change caused by DROP / CREATE)") typically occurs when there is a mismatch between the data structure in the database and the data dictionary in the SAP system. This can happen after a database table has been altered, such as when fields are dropped or created, but the corresponding data dictionary objects have not been updated or synchronized properly.

    Cause:

    1. Database Changes: The error often arises after a database table has been modified (e.g., fields dropped or created) without the corresponding changes being reflected in the SAP data dictionary.
    2. Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include all necessary objects, this error can occur.
    3. Inconsistent Data Dictionary: The data dictionary (DDIC) may not be in sync with the actual database structure, leading to discrepancies when trying to access data.

    Solution:

    1. Check Data Dictionary: Use transaction SE11 to check the structure of the relevant database table in the data dictionary. Ensure that it matches the actual database structure.
    2. Activate the Table: If there are discrepancies, you may need to activate the table in the data dictionary. This can be done by:
      • Going to transaction SE11.
      • Entering the table name and clicking on "Activate".
    3. Database Consistency Check: Run a consistency check on the database using transaction SE14 (Database Utility). This can help identify and resolve inconsistencies between the database and the data dictionary.
    4. Recreate the Table: If the issue persists, you may need to drop and recreate the table, ensuring that all necessary data dictionary objects are included.
    5. Transport Requests: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all relevant transport requests have been imported correctly and that there are no missing objects.
    6. Check for Locks: Sometimes, database locks can cause issues. Check for any locks on the table that might be preventing access.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes:
      • SE11: Data Dictionary (to view and activate tables).
      • SE14: Database Utility (to check and adjust database objects).
      • SE03: Transport Organizer Tools (to manage transport requests).
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. You can search for "DA414" in the SAP Support Portal.
