  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SOI2361 - Table &1: Sharingtype Read only and access mode write: ?

    The SAP error message SOI2361 indicates that there is an issue with the access mode of a table in the context of a sharing type. Specifically, it suggests that the table is set to "Read only" while an attempt is being made to access it in "Write" mode. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when trying to update or insert data into a table that is not configured to allow such operations.

    Cause:

    1. Table Configuration: The table in question is configured with a sharing type that only allows read access. This could be due to the way the table was defined in the database or the specific settings applied to it.
    2. Access Mode Mismatch: The program or transaction attempting to access the table is trying to perform a write operation (like INSERT or UPDATE) while the table is set to read-only.
    3. Locking Issues: There may be locks on the table that prevent write access, although this is less likely to be the direct cause of this specific error message.

    Solution:

    1. Check Table Configuration: Review the configuration of the table in the Data Dictionary (SE11). Ensure that the table is intended to allow write operations if that is the desired functionality.
    2. Modify Access Mode: If the table should allow write access, you may need to change its sharing type or access mode settings. This typically requires administrative privileges.
    3. Review Program Logic: If the table is correctly set to read-only, review the program or transaction logic to ensure that it is not attempting to perform write operations on a read-only table.
    4. Consult Documentation: Check SAP documentation or notes related to the specific table and its intended use to ensure that you are following best practices.
    5. Contact SAP Support: If you are unable to resolve the issue, consider reaching out to SAP support for assistance, especially if this is a production environment.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the table definition and SE37 (Function Module) to see if any function modules are involved in the operation.
    • SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional context.
    • User Permissions: Ensure that the user executing the operation has the necessary permissions to perform write operations on the table.

    By following these steps, you should be able to identify the root cause of the SOI2361 error and implement an appropriate solution.
