How To Fix RSRCACHE012 - Use internal table for export

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: RSRCACHE - Messages for OLAP Cache

• Message number: 012

• Message text: Use internal table for export

What causes this issue?

Before query-specific data (tables and structures) is written to the cac
he, an internal conversion (an export) to a standard format takes place.
Until now, this format was XSTRING. Since the conversion to XSTRING can
have a negative impact on performance, particularly when large volumes
of data are involved, it is now possible to convert to an internal
table. This does not have the same performance issues.
Conversion to the internal table can currently only be used with cluster
tables and the main memory or shared memory (the structure of which is
based on a cluster table). This is because it is not possible to store
an internal table easily in BLOB fields of tables or flat files.
This setting applies to all cache modes only; an exception to this is th
e query aggregate cache, which operates like a new cache. This uses
conversion to an internal table from the onset.
You can currently change this parameter using report RSR_CACHE_SWITCH_EX
PORT_MODE only. This is because data also has to be deleted from all old
cache modes since it is not possible to convert each of these formats
into the other format. By default, the parameter is active. We recommend
that you keep this setting.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSRCACHE012 - Use internal table for export ?

  The SAP error message RSRCACHE012 indicates that there is an issue with the way data is being exported from an internal table in an ABAP program. This error typically arises when the program attempts to use a non-internal table for exporting data, which is not allowed in certain contexts.
  Cause:
  The error occurs when:
  
  An attempt is made to export data from a non-internal table (like a standard table or sorted table) to a data object or a function module that expects an internal table.
  The internal table is not properly defined or initialized before the export operation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the RSRCACHE012 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check the Table Type: Ensure that the table you are trying to export is indeed an internal table. Internal tables in ABAP are defined using the DATA statement with the TABLE OF syntax.
  DATA: lt_my_table TYPE TABLE OF my_structure.
  
  
  Initialization: Make sure that the internal table is properly initialized before you attempt to export it. You can do this by populating it with data.
  CLEAR lt_my_table.
  
  
  Exporting Data: When exporting data, ensure you are using the correct syntax and that the internal table is being passed correctly. For example, if you are using a function module, check the parameters to ensure they match the expected types.
  CALL FUNCTION 'MY_FUNCTION_MODULE'
    EXPORTING
      param1 = value1
    TABLES
      my_table = lt_my_table.
  
  
  Review Documentation: If you are using a specific function module or method, refer to the SAP documentation to ensure you are using it correctly and that you are passing the right types of parameters.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, use the ABAP debugger to step through the code and inspect the internal table and its contents before the export operation. This can help identify any issues with the data being passed.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Internal Tables: In ABAP, internal tables are used to store data in a structured way. They can be of different types (standard, sorted, hashed) and are essential for data manipulation.
  Function Modules: When calling function modules, it is crucial to match the expected parameter types, especially when dealing with tables.
  ABAP Documentation: SAP provides extensive documentation on ABAP programming, including best practices for using internal tables and exporting data.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the RSRCACHE012 error and ensure that your ABAP program functions correctly.
