• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GT802 - Table &: Conversion & -> transparent failed ?

  The SAP error message GT802 indicates that there is a problem with the conversion of a table to a transparent table. This error typically occurs during the process of modifying or creating database tables in the ABAP Dictionary (SE11) or during transport requests.
  Cause:
  
  Data Type Mismatch: The fields in the table may have incompatible data types or lengths that cannot be converted to a transparent table.
  Field Attributes: Certain field attributes (like key fields, data element definitions, etc.) may not be compatible with the requirements for a transparent table.
  Existing Data: If there is existing data in the table that does not conform to the new structure or data types, the conversion will fail.
  Database Constraints: There may be constraints or dependencies in the database that prevent the conversion from being successful.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Types: Review the data types and lengths of the fields in the table. Ensure that they are compatible with the requirements for a transparent table.
  Field Attributes: Verify the attributes of the fields, such as whether they are defined as key fields, and ensure they meet the requirements for a transparent table.
  Data Consistency: If there is existing data, check for any inconsistencies or violations of the new structure. You may need to clean up or modify the data before attempting the conversion again.
  Transport Request: If this error occurs during a transport, ensure that all objects related to the table are included in the transport request.
  Check for Dependencies: Look for any dependencies or references to the table in other objects (like views, indexes, etc.) that may need to be adjusted or removed before the conversion.
  Use Transaction SE14: You can use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to check the table and perform repairs if necessary. This transaction can help you analyze the table structure and make adjustments.
