  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message O8653 - Insert to &1 key &2 failed (RC = &3) ?

    The SAP error message O8653 "Insert to &1 key &2 failed (RC = &3)" typically indicates that there was an issue when trying to insert a record into a database table. The placeholders (&1, &2, &3) represent specific details about the error, such as the table name, the key value that was attempted to be inserted, and the return code (RC) that indicates the nature of the failure.

    Possible Causes:

    1. Primary Key Violation: The key you are trying to insert already exists in the table, violating the primary key constraint.
    2. Foreign Key Violation: The key you are trying to insert does not have a corresponding entry in a related table, violating a foreign key constraint.
    3. Data Type Mismatch: The data being inserted does not match the expected data type for one or more fields in the table.
    4. Database Lock: The table may be locked by another transaction, preventing the insert operation from completing.
    5. Authorization Issues: The user executing the insert may not have the necessary permissions to perform the operation on the specified table.
    6. Database Constraints: Other constraints (like unique constraints) may be violated by the insert operation.

    Solutions:

    1. Check for Existing Records: Verify if the key you are trying to insert already exists in the table. If it does, you may need to update the existing record instead of inserting a new one.
    2. Review Foreign Key Relationships: Ensure that any foreign key relationships are satisfied. If the key references another table, make sure the corresponding record exists.
    3. Validate Data Types: Check the data being inserted to ensure it matches the expected data types for the table fields.
    4. Check for Locks: Use transaction monitoring tools to check if the table is locked by another transaction. If so, you may need to wait for the lock to be released.
    5. Review User Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the insert operation on the specified table.
    6. Examine Constraints: Review any other constraints on the table that may be causing the insert to fail.

    Related Information:

    • Return Code (RC): The return code provided in the error message can give more insight into the specific issue. Common return codes include:

      • 0: Success
      • 1: Warning
      • 2: Error
      • Other codes may indicate specific issues related to database operations.
    • Transaction Codes: You may want to use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE16 (Data Browser), or SE37 (Function Module) to investigate the table structure and constraints.

    • Debugging: If you have access to debugging tools, you can set breakpoints in the relevant ABAP code to see the exact point of failure and the values being processed.

    If the issue persists after checking these areas, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or development team for further investigation.
