• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SCRR_IOC107 - Table &: DDXTT MODEFLAG set to A to prevent shadow table creation ?

  The SAP error message SCRR_IOC107 indicates that there is an issue with the configuration of the Data Dictionary (DD) table, specifically related to the mode flag for shadow table creation. The message states that the MODEFLAG for the table is set to 'A', which prevents the creation of a shadow table.
  Cause:
  The MODEFLAG being set to 'A' means that the table is in a mode that does not allow the creation of shadow tables. Shadow tables are typically used in SAP to manage data consistency and performance during data operations. The restriction could be due to various reasons, such as:
  
  Table Configuration: The table may have been configured to not allow shadow tables due to its design or intended use.
  Data Dictionary Settings: The settings in the Data Dictionary for the table may not permit shadow table creation.
  Transport Issues: If the table was transported from another system, the transport might have included settings that prevent shadow table creation.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this issue, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Table Configuration:
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the properties of the table in question.
  Look for the MODEFLAG setting and determine if it can be changed. If the table is not intended to have a shadow table, you may need to accept this configuration.
  
  
  
  Modify the Mode Flag:
  
  If it is appropriate to allow shadow table creation, you can change the MODEFLAG to a value that permits it (e.g., 'N' for normal operation).
  Note that changing this setting may have implications for data consistency and performance, so it should be done with caution.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Review SAP documentation or consult with your SAP Basis or ABAP team to understand the implications of changing the MODEFLAG.
  
  
  
  Transport Considerations:
  
  If the table was recently transported, check the transport logs and settings to ensure that the correct configurations were applied.
  
  
  
  Testing:
  
  After making changes, test the functionality to ensure that the table operates as expected and that shadow tables can be created if needed.
