  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DA539 - View & is external view. This is not supported on DB &. ?

    The SAP error message DA539 typically indicates that there is an issue with the database view you are trying to access or use in your SAP system. The message suggests that the view is defined as an external view, which is not supported on the current database you are using.

    Cause:

    1. Database Compatibility: The view you are trying to access may be defined in a way that is not compatible with the underlying database system. For example, certain database features or SQL syntax may not be supported by the database you are using.
    2. View Definition: The view might be defined incorrectly or may reference tables or fields that are not available in the current database context.
    3. Database Type: If you are using a non-SAP database (like Oracle, SQL Server, etc.), there may be limitations on how external views are handled compared to SAP's own database systems (like HANA).

    Solution:

    1. Check View Definition: Review the definition of the view in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11). Ensure that it is correctly defined and that all referenced tables and fields exist in the database.
    2. Database Compatibility: Verify that the database you are using supports the features required by the view. If you are using an external database, consult the documentation for compatibility issues.
    3. Use Native SQL: If the view is not supported, consider using native SQL queries instead of relying on the external view.
    4. Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide guidance on how to resolve it.
    5. Recreate the View: If necessary, you may need to recreate the view using a different approach that is compatible with your database.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Use transaction SE11 to view and edit the database view definition.
    • SAP Notes: Search for specific SAP Notes related to DA539 or external views in the SAP Support Portal.
    • Database Documentation: Refer to the documentation for your specific database system to understand its limitations and capabilities regarding views.

    If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to reach out to your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
