• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT954 - Table &: BUFPARM was already set to & ?

  The SAP error message DT954 indicates that there is an issue with the buffer parameters for a specific table. The message states that the buffer parameter for the specified table has already been set to a certain value, which means that the system is trying to set it again, leading to a conflict.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Buffer Setting: The error typically occurs when there is an attempt to set the buffer parameters for a table that has already been configured in the system.
  Configuration Issues: It may arise from incorrect configuration settings in the SAP system, where the buffer parameters are being set multiple times.

  Solution:
  
  Check Current Buffer Settings: Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the current buffer settings for the specified table. Ensure that the settings are as intended.
  Avoid Duplicate Settings: If you are trying to set the buffer parameters in a custom program or configuration, ensure that you are not attempting to set them again if they are already configured.
  Adjust Buffer Parameters: If necessary, adjust the buffer parameters for the table using transaction code SE11 or RZ10 (for profile parameters) to ensure they are set correctly.
  Transport Management: If the issue is related to transport, check the transport logs and ensure that the buffer settings are consistent across the systems involved.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to buffer management for specific guidance on the table in question.
