• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOI123 - Global Temporary Table &1: DROP Statements generated ?

  The SAP error message SOI123 indicates that there is an issue related to the use of Global Temporary Tables (GTT) in your SAP system. This message typically arises when the system attempts to drop a Global Temporary Table that is no longer needed, but there may be underlying issues causing this operation to fail or generate warnings.
  Cause:
  
  Session Management: Global Temporary Tables are session-specific. If a session that created the GTT is still active, the table cannot be dropped until that session is closed.
  Transaction Management: If there are open transactions that are using the GTT, the system may not be able to drop it until those transactions are completed.
  Database Constraints: There may be constraints or dependencies that prevent the dropping of the GTT.
  Resource Management: The database may have resource limitations or locks that prevent the operation from completing successfully.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active Sessions: Ensure that there are no active sessions that are using the Global Temporary Table. You can do this by checking the database session management tools.
  Complete Transactions: Make sure that all transactions that are using the GTT are completed or rolled back before attempting to drop the table.
  Review Dependencies: Check for any dependencies or constraints that might be preventing the drop operation. This may involve reviewing the database schema and any related objects.
  Database Logs: Review the database logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context on why the drop statement is being generated.
  Manual Cleanup: If necessary, you can manually drop the GTT using SQL commands, but ensure that you understand the implications of doing so, especially in a production environment.
  
  Related Information:
