• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG059 - No index include columns have been defined ?

  The SAP error message RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG059 indicates that no index include columns have been defined for a specific index in the SAP system. This error typically arises when you are trying to create or modify an index in the SAP database, and the system expects you to define include columns for that index, but none have been specified.
  Cause:
  
  Missing Include Columns: The index you are trying to create or modify does not have any include columns defined. Include columns are additional columns that are stored in the index but are not part of the key. They can help improve query performance by allowing the database to retrieve all necessary data from the index without needing to access the base table.
  Incorrect Index Definition: The index definition may be incomplete or incorrectly configured, leading to this error.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Define Include Columns:
  
  Go to the index definition in the SAP system.
  Add the necessary include columns that you want to be part of the index. These should be columns that are frequently queried together with the key columns of the index.
  
  
  
  Review Index Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the index is correctly configured according to your database design and performance requirements.
  Check if the index is necessary for your queries and if it is optimized for performance.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Index:
  
  If the index is already created but not functioning as expected, consider dropping the index and recreating it with the correct include columns.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to the SAP documentation or help resources for guidance on how to properly define indexes and include columns in your specific version of SAP.
  
  
  
  Database-Specific Considerations:
  
  If you are using a specific database (like HANA, Oracle, etc.), check the database documentation for any specific requirements or limitations regarding index creation and include columns.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Performance Tuning: Properly defined indexes can significantly improve query performance. Understanding how to use include columns effectively can help optimize your database operations.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or additional guidance related to index management and performance tuning.
  Database Administration: If you are not familiar with index management, consider consulting with a database administrator or an SAP Basis consultant who can provide expertise in this area.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the error and ensure that your index is properly defined with the necessary include columns.
