• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ECATT523 - Error &1 when deleting from table &2 ?

  The SAP error message ECATT523 typically occurs in the context of the eCATT (extended Computer Aided Test Tool) framework when there is an issue related to deleting entries from a specific database table. The error message format indicates that there is a problem with the deletion operation, where &1 represents the specific error code or message, and &2 represents the name of the table from which the deletion is attempted.
  Cause:
  
  
  Foreign Key Constraints: The most common cause of this error is that there are foreign key constraints preventing the deletion of records from the specified table. If there are dependent records in other tables that reference the records you are trying to delete, the deletion will fail.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table.
  
  
  Data Locking: The records you are trying to delete may be locked by another transaction or user, preventing the deletion.
  
  
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be issues with the eCATT configuration or the test script that is attempting to perform the deletion.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Foreign Key Constraints: Review the database schema to identify any foreign key relationships. You may need to delete dependent records from related tables before you can delete the record from the target table.
  
  
  Review Authorizations: Ensure that the user executing the eCATT script has the necessary authorizations to delete records from the specified table. You may need to adjust roles or permissions accordingly.
  
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for any locks on the records you are trying to delete. If locks are found, you may need to wait for the locks to be released or resolve the locking issue.
  
  
  Debug the eCATT Script: If the issue is related to the eCATT script itself, review the script for any errors or misconfigurations. You can also run the script in debug mode to identify where the error occurs.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional guidance.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE37 (Function Module), and SE80 (Object Navigator) to analyze the table structure and dependencies.
