• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DB6PM808 - No changes where made in partitioning map ?

  The SAP error message DB6PM808: No changes were made in partitioning map typically occurs in the context of database partitioning, particularly when working with SAP HANA or other databases that support partitioning. This error indicates that an attempt to modify the partitioning map did not result in any changes, which can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  
  No Changes Detected: The most straightforward cause is that the operation you attempted to perform on the partitioning map did not actually change anything. For example, if you tried to add a partition that already exists or modify a partition with the same parameters, the system would not make any changes.
  
  
  Incorrect Parameters: If the parameters provided for the partitioning operation are incorrect or do not lead to a valid change, the system may reject the operation.
  
  
  Database State: The database might be in a state that does not allow changes to the partitioning map, such as being in a read-only mode or having active transactions that lock the partitioning structure.
  
  
  Permissions: Lack of appropriate permissions to modify the partitioning map can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Verify Changes: Check the changes you are trying to make to the partitioning map. Ensure that they are indeed different from the current configuration. If you are trying to add a partition, make sure it does not already exist.
  
  
  Review Parameters: Double-check the parameters you are using for the partitioning operation. Ensure they are correct and valid for the current database schema.
  
  
  Database State: Ensure that the database is in a writable state. If it is in read-only mode, you will need to switch it back to a writable state.
  
  
  Check Permissions: Verify that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to the partitioning map. If not, you may need to contact your database administrator.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation or the specific database documentation for guidance on partitioning operations and any prerequisites or restrictions that may apply.
  
  
  Logs and Traces: Check the database logs or traces for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about why the operation did not succeed.
