• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT349 - Coordinate system (SRS_ID) cannot be modified in field & ?

  The SAP error message DT349 indicates that there is an issue with modifying the coordinate system (SRS_ID) in a specific field. This error typically arises in the context of spatial data management within SAP, particularly when dealing with geospatial information in applications like SAP HANA or SAP GIS.
  Cause:
  
  Immutable Coordinate System: The coordinate system (SRS_ID) for certain fields or data structures may be defined as immutable or fixed. This means that once it is set, it cannot be changed.
  Data Integrity Constraints: The system may have integrity constraints that prevent changes to the coordinate system to maintain data consistency.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the data model or the way spatial data is being handled in the application.
  User Permissions: The user attempting to make the change may not have the necessary permissions to modify the coordinate system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Configuration: Review the configuration of the spatial data model to ensure that the coordinate system is set correctly and that it is intended to be modifiable.
  Use Correct Fields: Ensure that you are trying to modify the coordinate system in the correct context or field. Some fields may not allow changes to the SRS_ID.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidelines on handling coordinate systems in your version of SAP.
  Permissions Review: Verify that the user has the appropriate permissions to make changes to the spatial data. If not, consult with your SAP administrator to obtain the necessary access.
  Data Migration: If you need to change the coordinate system, consider creating a new field with the desired SRS_ID and migrating the data from the old field to the new one, if applicable.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context on handling coordinate systems.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums to see if other users have encountered and resolved similar issues.
  Training and Documentation: Consider training or reviewing documentation on SAP's spatial data handling capabilities, especially if your organization frequently works with geospatial data.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to contact SAP support for further assistance.
