  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SMTTOOLS015 - Table &: Primary Key statements cannot be generated ?

    The SAP error message SMTTOOLS015, which states "Table &: Primary Key statements cannot be generated," typically occurs during the process of data migration or when using the SAP Migration Tool (SMT). This error indicates that the system is unable to generate primary key statements for a specific table, which is essential for ensuring data integrity and uniqueness.

    Causes:

    1. Missing Primary Key Definition: The table in question may not have a defined primary key. In SAP, every table should ideally have a primary key to uniquely identify records.
    2. Composite Keys: If the table is supposed to have a composite primary key (a primary key made up of multiple fields), and one or more of those fields are missing or not properly defined, this error can occur.
    3. Technical Issues: There may be technical issues or inconsistencies in the database schema that prevent the generation of primary key statements.
    4. Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or table structure, it may lead to inconsistencies that trigger this error.

    Solutions:

    1. Check Table Definition: Verify the table definition in the Data Dictionary (SE11). Ensure that the primary key is correctly defined and that all necessary fields are included.
    2. Define Missing Keys: If the table lacks a primary key, you will need to define one. This can be done in SE11 by selecting the table and adding the appropriate fields as the primary key.
    3. Review Composite Keys: If the table uses a composite key, ensure that all fields that are part of the key are present and correctly defined.
    4. Database Consistency Check: Run consistency checks on the database to identify any issues that may be affecting the table structure.
    5. Consult Documentation: Review SAP documentation or notes related to the Migration Tool for any specific requirements or known issues regarding primary key generation.
    6. Contact SAP Support: If the issue persists after checking the above points, consider reaching out to SAP support for further assistance.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Use SE11 to check the table definition and SE14 for database utility operations.
    • Migration Tools: Familiarize yourself with the SAP Migration Tool documentation for best practices and troubleshooting tips.
    • SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide additional context.
