• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SF902 - Tables TDCLD/TDCLT were filled with data ?

  The SAP error message SF902 indicates that the tables TDCLD (Table for Document Change Log Data) and TDCLT (Table for Document Change Log Texts) have been filled with data, which typically means that the system has reached a limit for the amount of data that can be stored in these tables. This can occur in scenarios where there is a high volume of changes being logged, leading to the tables reaching their maximum capacity.
  Cause:
  
  High Volume of Changes: Frequent changes to documents or master data can lead to rapid filling of the change log tables.
  Retention Policy: The system may not have a proper retention policy in place to archive or delete old change log entries.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration settings for logging changes can lead to excessive data being logged.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Archiving: Implement an archiving strategy to regularly archive old entries from the TDCLD and TDCLT tables. This can help free up space and prevent the tables from reaching their limits.
  
  Use transaction SARA to set up archiving for change logs.
  
  
  
  Data Deletion: If archiving is not feasible, you may need to delete old entries manually. However, this should be done with caution and ideally after backing up the data.
  
  Use transaction SE14 to manage the database tables and delete entries if necessary.
  
  
  
  Adjust Logging Settings: Review and adjust the logging settings for the relevant applications to reduce the amount of data being logged. This may involve changing the configuration to log fewer changes or to log changes less frequently.
  
  
  Monitoring: Set up monitoring for the size of these tables to proactively manage their growth and avoid hitting the limit in the future.
  
  
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or support notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using for any additional recommendations or best practices.
