• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING002 - Sharing allowed for transparent tables only ?

  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING002 indicates that there is an attempt to share a table that is not a transparent table. In SAP, a transparent table is a database table that has a one-to-one relationship with a table in the underlying database. This error typically arises when you are trying to use a table type that does not support sharing, such as a pooled or cluster table.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  You are trying to create or modify a table that is not a transparent table and are attempting to use it in a context that requires sharing.
  The table type being used does not support the sharing mechanism that is being invoked.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Table Type: Verify the type of the table you are trying to share. Ensure that it is a transparent table. You can do this by checking the table definition in the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  
  
  Change Table Type: If the table is not a transparent table and you need it to be shared, consider creating a new transparent table that meets your requirements. You can then migrate the data from the old table to the new one if necessary.
  
  
  Review Sharing Requirements: If you are working with a pooled or cluster table, review the requirements of your application or program to see if it can be modified to avoid the need for sharing.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for more information on table types and their characteristics.
  
  
  Check for Custom Code: If this error arises from custom ABAP code, review the code to ensure that it is not trying to share a non-transparent table.
