• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SPRX286 - Successful with empty result - commit may be required ?

  The SAP error message SPRX286: Successful with empty result - commit may be required typically indicates that a transaction or operation was executed successfully, but it did not return any results. This can happen in various scenarios, such as when performing database operations, updates, or when executing certain function modules or BAPIs.
  Cause:
  
  No Data to Return: The operation may not have any data to return, which can happen if the criteria for the operation do not match any records in the database.
  Commit Required: The message suggests that a commit may be required. In SAP, certain operations (especially those that modify data) need to be committed to the database to finalize the changes. If a commit is not performed, the changes may not be visible or may not return any results.
  Transaction Logic: The logic of the transaction may be such that it is designed to return results only under specific conditions, and those conditions were not met during execution.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Data Criteria: Review the criteria or parameters used in the operation to ensure they are correct and that there is data that matches those criteria.
  Perform a Commit: If the operation involves data modification (like an update or insert), ensure that a commit is performed after the operation. In ABAP, this can be done using the COMMIT WORK statement.
  Review Transaction Logic: If you are developing or maintaining the code, check the logic to ensure that it is designed to handle cases where no data is returned appropriately.
  Debugging: If you are unsure why the operation is returning an empty result, consider debugging the code to trace the execution flow and see where it might be failing to retrieve or return data.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Management: Understanding how transactions work in SAP is crucial. A transaction must be committed to make changes permanent.
  Function Modules and BAPIs: If you are using specific function modules or BAPIs, refer to their documentation to understand their expected behavior and any prerequisites for successful execution.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or updates related to the specific function or transaction you are working with.
  
  If the issue persists after checking these aspects, it may be beneficial to consult with your SAP Basis or development team for further investigation.
