Smart SAP Assistant

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG141 - Table is not vardecimal compression enabled. ?

  The SAP error message RSMSS_ANALYZER_MSG141 indicates that a specific table is not enabled for VARDIACIMAL compression. This is a feature in SAP HANA that allows for more efficient storage of decimal values, particularly when dealing with large datasets.
  Cause:
  The error typically arises when:
  
  You are trying to perform operations that require VARDIACIMAL compression on a table that has not been configured to support it.
  The table was created without the VARDIACIMAL option, or it was created in an older version of SAP HANA that does not support this feature.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Table Properties: Verify the properties of the table in question to confirm whether it is set to use VARDIACIMAL compression. You can do this using SQL commands or through the SAP HANA Studio.
  
  
  Alter Table: If the table is not enabled for VARDIACIMAL compression, you can alter the table to enable it. Use the following SQL command:
  ALTER TABLE <table_name> SET (COMPRESSION = 'VARDIACIMAL');
  Replace <table_name> with the actual name of your table.
  
  
  Recreate the Table: If altering the table is not feasible (for example, if the table is large and you cannot afford downtime), you may need to create a new table with the VARDIACIMAL option and migrate the data from the old table to the new one.
  
  
  Data Migration: If you choose to recreate the table, you can use the following steps:
  
  Create a new table with the desired structure and VARDIACIMAL compression enabled.
  Migrate the data from the old table to the new table using an INSERT INTO statement.
  Drop the old table if it is no longer needed.
  
  
  
  Check SAP Notes: Always check for any relevant SAP Notes or documentation that may provide additional guidance or updates related to this error.
