• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message NR027 - The objects were buffered ?

  The SAP error message NR027 ("The objects were buffered") typically occurs when you are trying to modify or delete a database object that is currently buffered in the SAP system. Buffering is a performance optimization technique used in SAP to reduce database access by storing frequently accessed data in memory.
  Cause:
  The error arises when:
  
  You attempt to change or delete a table or view that is buffered.
  The system prevents modifications to ensure data consistency and integrity, as buffered objects may be in use by other processes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the NR027 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Buffering Settings:
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the buffering settings of the object (table or view) in question.
  If the object is set to be buffered, you may need to change its buffering settings.
  
  
  
  Deactivate Buffering:
  
  If you need to modify or delete the object, you can deactivate buffering temporarily. This can be done by:
  
  Going to the object in SE11.
  Selecting the "Technical Settings" and changing the buffering option to "Not buffered".
  
  
  After making the necessary changes, you can reactivate buffering if required.
  
  
  
  Clear Buffer:
  
  If you want to clear the buffer for the specific object, you can use transaction code SM12 to delete any locks or SM04 to check for active users and sessions that might be using the object.
  You can also use transaction SICF to clear the buffer for specific services.
  
  
  
  Transport Request:
  
  If the changes are part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is released and that the changes are properly imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or notes related to the specific object and buffering to understand the implications of changing buffering settings.
