  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPRX284 - Check orphaned SPROXDAT entries:&1 entries without entry in SPROXHDR ?

    The SAP error message SPRX284 indicates that there are orphaned entries in the SPROXDAT table, which means that there are entries in this table that do not have a corresponding entry in the SPROXHDR table. This situation can occur due to various reasons, such as incomplete or failed transport requests, inconsistencies during system upgrades, or manual deletions.

    Cause:

    1. Incomplete Transport Requests: If a transport request was not fully processed or was interrupted, it might leave behind orphaned entries.
    2. Manual Deletions: If entries were manually deleted from the SPROXHDR table without corresponding updates in SPROXDAT, this can lead to inconsistencies.
    3. System Upgrades or Migrations: During system upgrades or migrations, data inconsistencies can occur if the migration scripts do not handle all dependencies correctly.

    Solution:

    To resolve the issue, you can follow these steps:

    1. Check for Orphaned Entries:

      • Use the following SQL query to identify orphaned entries:
        SELECT * FROM SPROXDAT WHERE NOT EXISTS (SELECT * FROM SPROXHDR WHERE SPROXDAT.FIELD_NAME = SPROXHDR.FIELD_NAME);
      • Replace FIELD_NAME with the appropriate key field that links the two tables.
    2. Delete Orphaned Entries:

      • If you confirm that the entries in SPROXDAT are indeed orphaned, you can delete them. However, ensure you have a backup before performing any deletions.
      • Use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to delete orphaned entries safely.
    3. Transport Request Check:

      • Review the transport requests that might have caused the issue. Ensure that all requests are properly imported and that there are no pending requests.
    4. Consistency Check:

      • Run a consistency check on the relevant tables using transaction SE11 or SE14 to ensure that all entries are correctly linked.
    5. Consult SAP Notes:

      • Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific issue. SAP frequently releases notes that provide solutions or workarounds for known issues.
    6. System Restart:

      • In some cases, a system restart may help in resolving temporary inconsistencies.

    Related Information:

    • SPROXDAT: This table typically contains data related to customizing settings in SAP.
    • SPROXHDR: This table usually holds header information for customizing requests.
    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), and SE03 (Transport Organizer Tools) for managing database objects and transport requests.

    Important Note:

    Always ensure that you have proper backups and, if necessary, consult with your SAP Basis team or SAP support before making changes to the database to avoid unintended consequences.
