How To Fix ILM_STOR819 - Proxy table &1 cannot be created

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: ILM_STOR -

• Message number: 819

• Message text: Proxy table &1 cannot be created

What causes this issue?

All tables in the ILM Database Store can be addressed via a secondary
database connection. To do so, on the secondary database, create a proxy
table on the application server for the actual file so that OpenSQL is
capable of checking the SQL statements.
This is especially important for the resource tables that are generated
as needed because the actual data file is on the secondary database and
also because the proxy table has to be generated.
In the current case, the proxy table could not be created in the DDIC.
