How To Fix DT011 - & is not a DB-VIEW (Technical settings are not meaningful)


SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: DT - Table activation (incl. indexes)

  • Message number: 011

  • Message text: & is not a DB-VIEW (Technical settings are not meaningful)

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    The technical settings are used to individually adapt the storage
    requirements and access (buffering) to a database table. Access to a
    view, however, is already defined by the access to the tables included
    in the view. Technical settings are therefore meaningless for views.
    This inconsistency probably occurred due to a change in the table type
    of the corresponding object.

    System Response

    The system deletes the existing technical settings. The view can thus
    be activated.

    The SAP error message DT011, which states "is not a DB-VIEW (Technical settings are not meaningful)," typically occurs when you are trying to create or modify a database view in the Data Dictionary (SE11) and the system cannot recognize the object as a valid database view. This can happen for several reasons, and here are some common causes, solutions, and related information:

    Causes:

    2. Missing or Incorrect Definition: The view may not be defined correctly, or the underlying tables may not be properly defined or activated.

    4. Recreate the View: If the view is corrupted or not functioning as expected, consider deleting and recreating it from scratch.
