How To Fix SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY024 - Check whether both keys are necessary

SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY024 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY - Superfluous Keys Messages

• Message number: 024

• Message text: Check whether both keys are necessary

What causes this issue?

The unique table keys &V1& and &V2& have different types (SORTED and
HASHED). The components of &V2& are a subset of &V1&. Check whether both
keys are required.
INCLUDE INCL_MIGRATION_SCENARIO
If &V1& is a HASHED key, there is a genuine subset of its components
that is already unique. If &V1& is a SORTED key, there is a genuine
initial part that is already unique.
Remove the superfluous components from the key &V1&. The key is then
redundant to the key &V2&. Check whether only one of the two keys is
used or whether only one key is needed and therefore the other can be
removed.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY024 - Check whether both keys are necessary ?

  The SAP error message SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY024 indicates that there is a redundancy in the key fields defined for a particular data structure or table. This typically occurs when two or more key fields are defined in such a way that they do not provide unique identification for the records, leading to potential conflicts or ambiguities in data retrieval.
  
  Cause:
  The primary cause of this error is the definition of multiple key fields that may not be necessary for uniquely identifying records. This can happen in various scenarios, such as:
  
  Duplicate Key Fields: Two or more fields are defined as keys, but they contain overlapping or identical data.
  Unnecessary Key Fields: Some fields may not be needed as part of the key, leading to redundancy.
  Incorrect Data Model Design: The data model may not have been designed optimally, leading to unnecessary complexity.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SABP_KEY_REDUNDANCY024 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Review Key Definitions: Check the key fields
