Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMC_RT_REMOTE_GEN011 - RAW fields longer than 32 bytes can't be used as selection field ?

  The SAP error message DMC_RT_REMOTE_GEN011 indicates that you are trying to use a RAW field that exceeds the maximum length of 32 bytes as a selection field in a Data Migration Cockpit (DMC) or related data processing scenario. This limitation is in place because selection fields in certain contexts (like DMC) are expected to be of a certain length, and RAW fields longer than 32 bytes cannot be processed as selection criteria.
  Cause:
  
  The error occurs when a RAW field (which is typically used for binary data) is defined in a way that its length exceeds 32 bytes.
  The system does not support using these longer RAW fields as selection fields in the context of data migration or transformation processes.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Modify the Data Model: If possible, consider changing the data model to avoid using RAW fields longer than 32 bytes as selection fields. You may need to:
  
  Use a different data type that is compatible with selection criteria.
  Split the RAW data into smaller segments if applicable.
  
  
  
  Use Alternative Fields: If there are other fields available that can serve as selection criteria, consider using those instead of the RAW field.
  
  
  Data Transformation: If you are working with data transformation, you might need to transform the RAW field into a different format or a shorter representation that can be used as a selection field.
  
  
  Check DMC Configuration: Review the configuration of the Data Migration Cockpit to ensure that the fields being used for selection are compliant with the length restrictions.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP documentation for the Data Migration Cockpit or the specific module you are working with to understand the limitations and best practices regarding field types and lengths.
