  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MC841 - Buffering is not possible for views with session variables ?
    The SAP error message MC841: Buffering is not possible for views with session variables typically occurs when you are trying to buffer a database view that contains session variables. In SAP, buffering is a performance optimization technique that allows frequently accessed data to be stored in memory, reducing the need for repeated database access. However, when session variables are involved, buffering cannot be applied because session variables can change during a user's session, leading to inconsistent data being served from the buffer.
    Cause
    The primary cause of this error is the presence of session variables in the database view that you are trying to buffer. Session variables are dynamic and can vary from one user session to another, which makes it impossible to cache the results reliably.
    Solution
    To resolve this error, you can consider the following approaches:
    
    
    Remove Session Variables: If possible, modify the database view to eliminate session variables. This may involve redesigning
