How To Fix SMMSS_DDIC010 - FILEGROUP is not set for the table

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: SMMSS_DDIC - DDIC Messages for Microsoft SQL Server

• Message number: 010

• Message text: FILEGROUP is not set for the table

What causes this issue?

You have not set FILEGROUP for the table; however, the table has a
clustered index for which you specified a different filegroup than this
filegroup. During conversion, the table would first be created in its
current filegroup and then in the filegroup selected for the clustered
index. Depending on the size of the table, this could be very
expensive.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

If you do not want to convert the table, but rather move it into the
filegroup you selected for the index by creating a new clustered index
(activate and adjust database), you do not have to do anything.
However, if you want to convert the table, you should select the same
filegroup as for the clustered index.
