• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ILM_STOR828 - Pooled table &1 reached its size limit; do not add more data ?

  The SAP error message ILM_STOR828 indicates that a pooled table has reached its size limit, and as a result, no more data can be added to it. This is a common issue in SAP systems, particularly when dealing with large volumes of data or when the database is not properly managed.
  Cause:
  
  Pooled Table Size Limit: Pooled tables in SAP have a predefined size limit. When the data in the pooled table exceeds this limit, the system will not allow any further entries.
  Data Growth: Continuous data growth without proper archiving or data management can lead to this issue.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration of the database or the pooled table can also lead to size limit issues.
  
  Solution:
  
  Data Archiving: Implement data archiving strategies to remove old or unnecessary data from the pooled table. This can free up space and allow for new entries.
  Database Maintenance: Regularly perform database maintenance tasks, such as deleting obsolete data and optimizing the database.
  Increase Size Limit: If applicable, consider increasing the size limit of the pooled table. This may require changes in the database configuration or adjustments in the SAP system settings.
  Review Data Model: Evaluate the necessity of using a pooled table for the specific data. If the data volume is high, consider switching to a transparent table instead, which does not have the same size limitations.
  Consult SAP Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support for specific guidelines on managing pooled tables and their size limits.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Pooled Tables: These are special types of tables in SAP that allow multiple logical tables to share the same physical table in the database. They are used to save space but have limitations on size.
  Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the structure and properties of the pooled table.
  SAP Notes: Check for relevant SAP Notes that may provide additional insights or solutions for this specific error message.
  Performance Monitoring: Regularly monitor the performance and size of your database tables to prevent reaching size limits in the future.
  
  If the issue persists after trying the above solutions, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support for further assistance.
