• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBOSC090 - Error while inserting object into '&1->&2'; check table key ?

  The SAP error message DBOSC090 typically indicates an issue related to database operations, specifically when there is a problem inserting an object into a specified table. The message format Error while inserting object into '&1->&2'; check table key suggests that the error occurred while trying to insert a record into a database table, where &1 represents the table name and &2 represents the specific object or key.
  Causes:
  
  
  Duplicate Key Violation: The most common cause of this error is an attempt to insert a record with a primary key that already exists in the table. This can happen if the application logic does not properly check for existing records before attempting to insert a new one.
  
  
  Missing Required Fields: If the table has mandatory fields that are not being populated during the insert operation, this can lead to an error.
  
  
  Data Type Mismatch: If the data being inserted does not match the expected data types of the table fields, this can cause an error.
  
  
  Database Constraints: Other constraints, such as foreign key constraints, may also prevent the insertion of the record.
  
  
  Locking Issues: If the table is locked by another transaction, it may prevent the insert operation from completing successfully.
  
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check for Duplicates: Before performing the insert operation, check if a record with the same key already exists in the table. If it does, you may need to update the existing record instead of inserting a new one.
  
  
  Validate Input Data: Ensure that all required fields are being populated and that the data types match the table schema.
  
  
  Review Database Constraints: Check for any constraints on the table that may be causing the insert to fail. This includes primary keys, foreign keys, and unique constraints.
  
  
  Transaction Management: If the error is due to locking, ensure that your transaction management is properly handling locks. You may need to wait for the lock to be released or handle the transaction in a way that avoids conflicts.
  
  
  Debugging: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the structure of the table and SE37 (Function Builder) to analyze the function module that is performing the insert operation. You can also use transaction ST22 to check for dumps that may provide more context on the error.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues related to the specific table or transaction you are working with. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions to common problems.
  Transaction Logs: Review the application logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or context that may help diagnose the issue.
  Database Logs: If you have access to the database logs, check for any errors or warnings that may provide insight into the failure.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the DBOSC090 error and implement a suitable solution.
