  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMU083 - Error deleting table &1: &3 out of &2 records updated ?

    The SAP error message DMU083 typically occurs during data migration or data updates when there is an issue with deleting records from a specified table. The message format indicates that there was an attempt to delete records from a table, but the operation was not successful due to some constraints or issues.

    Cause:

    1. Foreign Key Constraints: The table you are trying to delete records from may have foreign key constraints that prevent deletion if there are related records in other tables.
    2. Locking Issues: The table might be locked by another transaction or user, preventing the deletion of records.
    3. Data Integrity Issues: There may be data integrity issues that prevent the deletion of certain records.
    4. Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table.
    5. Batch Processing Errors: If the deletion is part of a batch process, there may be errors in the batch that prevent successful execution.

    Solution:

    1. Check Foreign Key Constraints: Review the table structure and check for any foreign key constraints. If there are related records in other tables, you may need to delete those first or adjust the constraints.
    2. Release Locks: Ensure that no other transactions are locking the table. You can use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks and release them if necessary.
    3. Data Integrity Checks: Perform data integrity checks to ensure that the records you are trying to delete do not violate any business rules or constraints.
    4. Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform delete operations on the specified table.
    5. Error Logs: Check the error logs or application logs (transaction SLG1) for more detailed information about the error and any related issues.
    6. Test in Development: If possible, replicate the issue in a development or test environment to troubleshoot without affecting production data.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), and SM37 (Job Monitoring) to help diagnose and resolve the issue.
    • SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address specific issues related to the DMU083 error.
    • Documentation: Review SAP documentation related to data migration and deletion processes for best practices and guidelines.
