• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO528 - & &: Indicator for existence of buffered views reset ?

  The SAP error message DO528, which states "Indicator for existence of buffered views reset," typically occurs in the context of database buffering in SAP systems. This message indicates that the system has reset the indicator that tracks whether there are buffered views for a particular database table. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Database Changes: The error often arises when there are changes made to the database schema, such as adding or modifying tables or views that are buffered.
  Buffer Management: The SAP system uses buffering to improve performance by storing frequently accessed data in memory. If the system detects that the buffered views are no longer valid (due to changes in the underlying database), it resets the indicator.
  Transport Requests: If changes are transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it may lead to inconsistencies in the buffered views.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Buffer Settings: Review the buffer settings for the affected tables. You can do this in transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) by checking the table properties.
  Rebuild Buffer: You may need to rebuild the buffer for the affected tables. This can be done using transaction code SM12 (to delete old locks) and SM21 (to check system logs).
  Clear Buffer: You can clear the buffer for specific tables using transaction code SE14 (Database Utility) and selecting the option to "Delete Buffer."
  Check for Transport Issues: If the issue arose after a transport, ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly and that there are no inconsistencies.
  System Restart: In some cases, a system restart may help to reset the buffer and clear any temporary issues.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes related to buffering issues and the specific error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions and workarounds for known issues.
  Performance Monitoring: Monitor the performance of the system after making changes to ensure that the buffering is functioning as expected.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation on database buffering and performance optimization for best practices.
