• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SLIC111 - Index does not exist ?

  The SAP error message SLIC111, which states "Index does not exist," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Logistics Information System (LIS) or when dealing with data extraction and reporting. This error indicates that the system is trying to access an index that has not been created or is not available in the database.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Index: The index that the system is trying to access has not been created or has been deleted.
  Data Extraction Issues: If you are trying to extract data from a data source that has not been properly set up or initialized, this error may occur.
  Configuration Issues: Incorrect configuration in the data source or in the reporting structure can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If the index was supposed to be transported from another system and the transport did not include the index, it may not exist in the target system.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Check Index Existence:
  
  Use transaction code SARA or SICF to check if the index exists. You can also use transaction SE11 to look for the database table and see if the index is listed.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Index:
  
  If the index does not exist, you may need to recreate it. This can typically be done through the relevant transaction for the data source (e.g., LBW0 for LIS).
  For example, if you are dealing with a specific InfoCube or DataStore Object (DSO), you may need to run the relevant data load process to regenerate the index.
  
  
  
  Check Data Source Configuration:
  
  Ensure that the data source is correctly configured. This includes checking the settings in the InfoSource and ensuring that the data extraction process is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Run Data Load:
  
  If the index is supposed to be created during a data load, ensure that the data load process is executed successfully. You may need to check the logs for any errors during the data load.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific module you are working with. There may be specific instructions or known issues related to the index in question.
