DA515 - Details
Error Code: DA515
Error Message: Table change not possible. There is a DB trigger on the table.
Summary
This error means that the system cannot modify the database table because a database trigger is active on that table, preventing direct changes.
Root Causes
- A database trigger is defined on the table to enforce data integrity or business rules, blocking direct table changes.
- Attempting to update or delete table entries directly via custom code or manual database operations instead of using standard SAP transactions or APIs.
- System configuration or transport activities that try to modify table structure or content while triggers are active.
- Inappropriate use of debugging or testing tools that attempt to change table data bypassing SAP application logic.
