• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message STOBJ154 - Type of database object (table or view) node & missing ?

  The SAP error message STOBJ154 indicates that there is a problem with a database object, specifically that a required table or view is missing in the system. This error typically occurs during operations that involve accessing or manipulating database objects, such as during the execution of a program, report, or transaction.
  Cause:
  
  
  Missing Database Object: The most common cause is that the specified table or view does not exist in the database. This could be due to:
  
  The object was never created.
  The object was deleted or dropped.
  The object is in a different schema or client.
  There was an issue during a transport that should have created the object.
  
  
  
  Incorrect Naming: The name of the database object might be misspelled or incorrectly referenced in the code.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the object was supposed to be transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production), the transport might have failed or not included the object.
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the transaction may not have the necessary authorizations to access the object.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Existence:
  
  Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the table or view exists. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a backup.
  
  
  
  Verify Naming:
  
  Double-check the spelling and case sensitivity of the object name in the code or configuration.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the object is missing due to transport issues, check the transport logs and ensure that the transport containing the object was successfully imported into the target system.
  
  
  
  Authorization Check:
  
  Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the database object. You can check this using transaction SU53 after the error occurs.
  
  
  
  Recreate the Object:
  
  If the object is missing and you have the definition (e.g., from a development system), you may need to recreate it manually.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the object is part of a standard SAP module or add-on, consult the relevant SAP documentation or support notes for guidance on how to resolve the issue.
  
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  
  Transaction Codes:
  
  SE11: Data Dictionary to check for tables/views.
  SE80: Object Navigator for checking program or object references.
  SE37: Function Module to check if the function module is correctly defined.
  SU53: Authorization check to see if the user has the necessary permissions.
  
  
  
  SAP Notes: Search the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
  
  
  System Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SM21) for any related errors or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
