  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SQADB005 - No short text maintained for context & ?

    The SAP error message SQADB005, which states "No short text maintained for context &," typically occurs in the context of SAP Query or when working with SAP's reporting tools. This error indicates that there is a missing short text description for a specific context or object in the system.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Short Text: The primary cause of this error is that the system is trying to access a context or object that does not have a short text description maintained in the relevant configuration.
    2. Configuration Issues: It may arise from incomplete configuration settings in the SAP Query or related areas where descriptions are required.
    3. Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the short text may not have been included in the transport request.

    Solution:

    1. Maintain Short Text:

      • Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SQ01 for SAP Query).
      • Identify the context or object that is causing the error.
      • Maintain the short text description for that context. This can usually be done in the settings or properties of the query or object.
    2. Check Configuration:

      • Review the configuration settings for the query or report to ensure that all necessary descriptions are provided.
      • If you are using custom queries or reports, ensure that all required fields and descriptions are properly defined.
    3. Transport Check:

      • If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects, including short texts, were included in the transport request.
      • If needed, re-transport the missing short text or manually add it in the target system.
    4. Consult Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP documentation or help resources for specific guidance on maintaining short texts in the context of your SAP version and configuration.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SQ01 (SAP Query), SQ02 (InfoSet), and SQ03 (User Groups) for managing queries and their configurations.
    • SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
    • User Permissions: Ensure that you have the necessary permissions to make changes to queries and their configurations.

    If the problem persists after following these steps, consider reaching out to your SAP support team or consulting with an SAP expert for further assistance.
