• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DBOSC553 - Error while getting DDIC type; field (&1) not mappable (&2) ?

  The SAP error message DBOSC553 indicates that there is an issue with the Data Dictionary (DDIC) type mapping for a specific field in a database table or structure. The error message typically appears when the system is unable to map a field to its corresponding data type in the database.
  Cause:
  The error can occur due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Incompatible Data Types: The field type defined in the ABAP Dictionary (DDIC) does not match the expected data type in the database. This can happen if there are changes in the data model or if the database schema has been altered.
  
  
  Missing Data Element: The data element associated with the field may not exist or may have been deleted.
  
  
  Field Length Issues: The length of the field defined in the DDIC may exceed the maximum allowed length in the database.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), there may have been issues during the transport process.
  
  
  Database-Specific Limitations: Some databases have specific limitations or requirements for data types that may not be compatible with the definitions in the ABAP Dictionary.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DBOSC553 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Element and Domain: Verify that the data element and domain associated with the field are correctly defined and exist in the system.
  
  
  Review Field Definitions: Check the field definitions in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) to ensure that the data types and lengths are compatible with the underlying database.
  
  
  Adjust Field Lengths: If the field length is too long, consider adjusting it to fit within the database constraints.
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust the Table/Structure: If the table or structure has been modified, you may need to adjust it to ensure that all fields are correctly defined and mappable.
  
  
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors and ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly.
  
  
  Database-Specific Checks: If you are using a specific database (e.g., HANA, Oracle), consult the database documentation for any specific requirements or limitations regarding data types.
  
  
  Check for SAP Notes: Look for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on similar issues.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), and SE37 (Function Builder) to investigate and modify the relevant objects.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  SAP Support: If the issue persists, consider reaching out to SAP Support for assistance, especially if it involves complex data model changes or transport issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the DBOSC553 error and implement a suitable solution.
