  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT081 - &: Structure change at field level (Index is created new) ?

    The SAP error message DT081 indicates that there has been a structure change at the field level in a database table, which has resulted in the creation of a new index. This typically occurs when changes are made to the structure of a table, such as adding or modifying fields, which can affect the existing indexes associated with that table.

    Cause:

    1. Field Modification: Changes to the fields of a table, such as adding new fields, changing data types, or modifying field lengths.
    2. Index Changes: When the structure of a table is altered, the existing indexes may no longer be valid, leading to the creation of new indexes.
    3. Transport Requests: If changes are transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), it can trigger this error if the target system has not been updated accordingly.

    Solution:

    1. Check Table Structure: Review the changes made to the table structure. Ensure that the modifications are necessary and correctly implemented.
    2. Rebuild Indexes: If the error is due to index issues, you may need to rebuild the indexes associated with the table. This can be done using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility).
    3. Activate Changes: If the changes were made in a development environment, ensure that they are properly activated and transported to the target environment.
    4. Database Consistency: Run consistency checks on the database to ensure that all indexes and structures are in sync. This can be done using transaction DB02 or DBACOCKPIT.
    5. Consult SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on handling structure changes and indexes.
