• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message REDB102 - Update termination: deletion from table &1 is not supported ?

  The SAP error message REDB102 indicates that there was an update termination due to an attempt to delete an entry from a table that does not support deletion. This typically occurs in the context of database operations where certain tables are designed to be read-only or are managed in a way that prevents direct deletion.
  Cause:
  
  Table Type: The table from which you are trying to delete data may be a pooled or cluster table, or it may be a table that is managed by the SAP system in a way that does not allow direct deletions.
  Data Integrity: The system may have constraints or rules that prevent the deletion of certain records to maintain data integrity.
  Custom Code: If there is custom ABAP code or a program that attempts to delete records from a table that is not meant to be modified, this error can occur.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user executing the deletion may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the operation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Definition: Verify the definition of the table in question. You can do this using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary). Look for the table type and any associated documentation that indicates whether deletions are allowed.
  Use Correct Methods: If the table is not meant to be modified directly, consider using the appropriate SAP function modules or BAPIs that are designed for data manipulation in a way that respects the integrity of the data.
  Review Custom Code: If the error arises from custom ABAP code, review the logic to ensure that it does not attempt to delete records from non-deletable tables. Modify the code to handle such cases appropriately.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the deletion. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific table and its intended use. There may be specific guidelines on how to handle data in that table.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 to check table definitions, SE37 to explore function modules, and SE80 for program development.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address specific issues related to the table in question.
  Data Management: Understand the data lifecycle and management practices in your SAP environment to avoid similar issues in the future.
  
  If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance, providing them with detailed information about the error and the context in which it occurred.
