• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT713 - Base table & of buff. view &: Active nametab header not read ?

  The SAP error message DT713, which states "Base table & of buff. view &: Active nametab header not read," typically occurs in the context of database table buffering and can indicate issues with the buffering settings or the underlying database structure.
  Cause:
  
  Buffering Issues: The error often arises when there is a problem with the buffering of a database table. This could be due to the table being incorrectly configured for buffering or changes made to the table structure that have not been properly reflected in the buffer.
  Table Structure Changes: If the structure of the base table has been modified (e.g., fields added or removed) and the changes have not been activated or reflected in the buffer, this error can occur.
  Transport Issues: If the table was transported from one system to another and the transport did not include the necessary changes, it could lead to inconsistencies.
  Database Issues: There may be underlying issues with the database itself, such as corruption or misconfiguration.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Buffering Settings: 
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (SE11) and check the buffering settings for the affected table. Ensure that the buffering is correctly configured.
  If the table should not be buffered, consider changing the buffering settings to "No buffering."
  
  
  
  Activate Table: 
  
  If there have been recent changes to the table structure, ensure that the changes are activated. You can do this by going to SE11, selecting the table, and activating it.
  
  
  
  Clear Buffer: 
  
  You can clear the buffer for the affected table using transaction code SM12 (to delete lock entries) and SM04 (to check user sessions). Additionally, you can use transaction SE14 to manage database objects and clear the buffer.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: 
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and correctly imported.
  
  
  
  Database Consistency Check: 
  
  Perform a consistency check on the database to ensure there are no underlying issues. This can be done using transaction DB02 or similar tools.
  
  
  
  Rebuild the Buffer: 
  
  In some cases, it may be necessary to rebuild the buffer for the affected table. This can be done by using transaction SE14 and selecting the option to "Rebuild Buffer."
