  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SMTTOOLS073 - Create Primary Key for table & from & ?

    The SAP error message SMTTOOLS073, which states "Create Primary Key for table & from &," typically occurs in the context of SAP's Data Migration or System Migration tools, particularly when working with the SAP Landscape Transformation (SLT) or SAP S/4HANA Migration Cockpit. This error indicates that a primary key is missing for a specified table, which is essential for ensuring data integrity and uniqueness.

      • If necessary, modify the table structure to add a primary key.
    3. Review Migration Settings:

      • If you are using a migration tool, review the settings and mappings to ensure that the primary key is correctly specified.

    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific migration tool you are using for any additional requirements or steps that may be necessary.
