• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SDRPLI078 - Mapping DB type to DDIC type for view & is not possible ?

  The SAP error message SDRPLI078 indicates that there is an issue with mapping a database (DB) type to a Data Dictionary (DDIC) type for a specific view. This typically occurs in the context of SAP ABAP programming or when working with database views in the SAP system.
  Cause:
  The error can arise due to several reasons, including:
  
  
  Incompatible Data Types: The data types defined in the database do not match the expected data types in the Data Dictionary. This can happen if there are changes in the database schema that are not reflected in the DDIC.
  
  
  Missing Data Elements: If the view is trying to reference a data element or structure that does not exist or has been deleted, this error can occur.
  
  
  Incorrect View Definition: The view may be incorrectly defined, leading to issues in how the fields are mapped.
  
  
  Database Changes: Changes made directly in the database (outside of SAP) that are not synchronized with the DDIC can lead to this error.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the view was transported from one system to another, there may be inconsistencies between the source and target systems.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the SDRPLI078 error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Check Data Types: Verify that the data types in the database match those defined in the DDIC. You can do this by checking the definitions of the database tables and the corresponding DDIC structures.
  
  
  Recreate or Adjust the View: If the view is incorrectly defined, you may need to recreate it or adjust its definition to ensure that all fields are correctly mapped.
  
  
  Synchronize Database and DDIC: If there have been changes in the database, ensure that the DDIC is updated accordingly. You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check and adjust definitions.
  
  
  Check for Missing Elements: Ensure that all data elements and structures referenced in the view exist and are active in the DDIC.
  
  
  Transport Consistency: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors and ensure that all necessary objects were transported correctly.
  
  
  Use Transaction SE14: You can use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to check the consistency of the database objects and the DDIC.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional guidance.
