  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message IWP_DP031 - Generated table &1 activated with warnings after reference field update ?

    The SAP error message IWP_DP031 indicates that a generated table has been activated with warnings after a reference field update. This typically occurs in the context of SAP's Data Dictionary (DDIC) when changes are made to database tables or structures, particularly when reference fields are involved.

    Cause:

    1. Reference Field Issues: The warning usually arises when there are inconsistencies or issues with the reference fields in the table. This could be due to:

      • Missing foreign key relationships.
      • Data type mismatches between the reference field and the target field.
      • Incomplete or incorrect definitions of the reference fields.
    2. Data Dictionary Changes: If changes were made to the structure of the table or its fields, and those changes affect how reference fields are defined or used, warnings may be generated during the activation process.

    3. Existing Data: If there is existing data in the table that does not comply with the new structure or constraints, this can also lead to warnings.

    Solution:

    1. Review the Warnings: Check the activation log for specific warnings that were generated. This log will provide details on what exactly caused the warnings and which fields are affected.

    2. Correct Reference Fields: Ensure that all reference fields are correctly defined:

      • Verify that foreign key relationships are properly set up.
      • Ensure that data types match between the reference field and the target field.
    3. Data Consistency: If there is existing data that violates the new structure:

      • Clean up the data to ensure it complies with the new definitions.
      • You may need to delete or update records that do not meet the new constraints.
    4. Re-activate the Table: After making the necessary corrections, attempt to re-activate the table. Monitor the activation log for any further warnings or errors.

    5. Consult Documentation: If the issue persists, refer to SAP documentation or community forums for additional insights or similar cases.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to view and modify table definitions.
    • Activation Logs: Use transaction SE80 or SE11 to access the activation logs and see detailed messages related to the warnings.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to the specific version of SAP you are using.

    If the problem continues after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or development team for further assistance, as they may have more tools and access to diagnose the issue in depth.
