• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GT915 - Temporary table for & has been deleted ?

  The SAP error message GT915 ("Temporary table for & has been deleted") typically occurs in the context of SAP ABAP programs or reports that utilize temporary tables for data processing. This error indicates that the temporary table that was expected to be available for processing has been deleted or is no longer accessible at the time the program tries to access it.
  Cause:
  
  Session Timeout: The temporary table may have been deleted due to a session timeout or the program being terminated unexpectedly.
  Program Logic: The program may have logic that deletes the temporary table before it is accessed, or it may not have been created properly.
  Database Locking: If there are issues with database locks or transactions, it may lead to the deletion of temporary tables.
  Memory Management: In some cases, memory management issues or limits on temporary tables can lead to their deletion.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Program Logic: Review the ABAP code to ensure that the temporary table is being created and accessed correctly. Ensure that there are no premature deletions of the table.
  Session Management: Ensure that the session is active and has not timed out. If the program is running for a long time, consider optimizing it or increasing session timeout settings.
  Debugging: Use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and identify where the temporary table is being deleted or not created.
  Error Handling: Implement error handling in the program to manage cases where the temporary table might not be available.
  Database Locks: Check for any database locks that might be affecting the temporary table. Ensure that there are no conflicting transactions.
  Re-run the Program: If the error is transient, simply re-running the program may resolve the issue.
