• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING078 - Buffer synchronization failed for table &1 ?

  The SAP error message DD_MT_SHARING078 indicates that there is a problem with buffer synchronization for a specific table in the SAP system. This error typically arises in the context of database operations, particularly when there are inconsistencies between the database and the buffer in the application server.
  Cause:
  
  
  Buffer Inconsistency: The most common cause of this error is that the buffer for the specified table is not synchronized with the database. This can happen due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Changes made directly to the database that are not reflected in the application server's buffer.
  Issues during a transport or upgrade that affect the table's structure or data.
  System crashes or unexpected shutdowns that leave the buffer in an inconsistent state.
  
  
  
  Database Locking Issues: If there are locks on the database table that prevent the buffer from being updated, this can also lead to synchronization failures.
  
  
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings in the SAP system related to buffer management can also lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Buffer Refresh: The first step to resolve this issue is to refresh the buffer for the affected table. This can be done using transaction code SE14 (Database Utility) or SE11 (Data Dictionary). You can choose to "Delete Buffer" for the specific table.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction SM12 to check for any locks on the table. If there are locks, you may need to release them or wait until they are cleared.
  
  
  Database Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the database using transaction DB02 or DBACOCKPIT to ensure that there are no underlying issues with the database itself.
  
  
  Rebuild the Buffer: If the problem persists, you may need to rebuild the buffer for the entire application server. This can be done by restarting the application server.
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue occurred after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or inconsistencies that may have affected the table.
  
  
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
