• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SMT_CONFIG119 - Target structure &1 does not exist ?

  The SAP error message SMT_CONFIG119, which states "Target structure &1 does not exist," typically occurs in the context of SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or when configuring data replication between systems. This error indicates that the target structure (table or view) specified in the configuration does not exist in the target system.
  Cause:
  
  Non-existent Target Structure: The target structure (table or view) you are trying to replicate data into does not exist in the target database.
  Incorrect Configuration: There may be a misconfiguration in the SLT settings or the data replication setup.
  Transport Issues: If the target structure was supposed to be created via a transport request, it may not have been imported correctly.
  Naming Mismatch: There could be a naming mismatch between the source and target systems, such as case sensitivity or different naming conventions.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Verify Target Structure:
  
  Check if the target structure (table or view) exists in the target database. You can do this by logging into the target system and using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE16 (Data Browser) to search for the structure.
  
  
  
  Create the Target Structure:
  
  If the target structure does not exist, you may need to create it manually or ensure that it is created as part of the data replication setup. This can involve creating the necessary tables or views in the target system.
  
  
  
  Check SLT Configuration:
  
  Review the SLT configuration settings to ensure that the target structure is correctly defined. You can do this in the SLT configuration transaction (e.g., LTRC).
  Ensure that the mapping between the source and target structures is correctly set up.
  
  
  
  Transport Check:
  
  If the target structure was supposed to be transported from another system, check the transport logs to ensure that the transport was successful and that the target structure was included.
  
  
  
  Naming Conventions:
  
  Ensure that the naming conventions used in the source and target systems are consistent. Pay attention to case sensitivity and any prefixes or suffixes that may be used.
