• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDB_ORA_EXCEPTIONS101 - Inconsistent input parameter - parameter: &1, value: &2 ?

  The SAP error message SDB_ORA_EXCEPTIONS101 indicates that there is an inconsistency with an input parameter being passed to an Oracle database operation. The message specifies which parameter is causing the issue and what value it has. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information for this error:
  Cause
  
  
  Inconsistent Parameter Values: The error typically arises when the input parameters being sent to the Oracle database do not match the expected format or constraints. This could be due to:
  
  Data type mismatches (e.g., sending a string where a number is expected).
  Values that exceed the allowed length or range.
  Null values being passed where they are not allowed.
  
  
  
  Database Constraints: The parameters may violate database constraints such as NOT NULL, UNIQUE, or CHECK constraints.
  
  
  Incorrect Mapping: There may be an issue with how the parameters are mapped in the SAP application to the database fields.
  
  
  Solution
  
  
  Check Parameter Definitions: Review the definitions of the parameters in the SAP application and ensure they match the expected types and constraints in the Oracle database.
  
  
  Validate Input Values: Ensure that the values being passed for the parameters are valid. This includes:
  
  Checking for null values.
  Ensuring that string lengths do not exceed the defined limits.
  Confirming that numeric values fall within the acceptable range.
  
  
  
  Debugging: If possible, enable debugging or logging to capture the exact values being passed when the error occurs. This can help identify the specific parameter and value causing the issue.
  
  
  Review Database Constraints: Check the database schema for any constraints that might be causing the error. Make sure that the data being sent adheres to these constraints.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to the SAP and Oracle documentation for any specific requirements or limitations regarding the parameters being used.
  
  
  Test with Sample Data: If feasible, test the operation with known good data to see if the error persists. This can help isolate whether the issue is with the data being passed or with the application logic.
