  • What causes this issue?

    You tried to add a new entry, and when doing so, used a key value that
    lies outside of the namespace you manage.
    This can cause problems in later upgrades because the entry could be
    overwritten by an import, or overwrite an existing entry.

    How to fix this error?

    Check your entry and try to enter a key value from your namespace.

    ELSE
    You can display the namespace definition using program
    <DS:REPO.RSVIEWNR>RDDKOR54</>.
    If use of the key value entered is unavoidable, document your changes
    carefully so that you can repeat them if necessary after an upgrade or
    release upgrade. For this purpose, we recommend creating a change
    request with this data. You can then export this before an upgrade or
    release upgrade and import it again afterwards.

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message SV019 - Select a key from the allowed namespace. ?

    The SAP error message SV019, which states "Select a key from the allowed namespace," typically occurs when there is an issue with the namespace of the key being used in a particular transaction or function. This error is often related to the use of custom objects or keys that are not recognized by the system due to namespace restrictions.

    Cause:

    1. Invalid Namespace: The key you are trying to use is not part of the allowed namespaces defined in the system. SAP has specific namespaces for standard objects (like SAP_ or `SAP_*) and custom objects (usually prefixed with a customer-specific identifier).
    2. Configuration Issues: There may be configuration settings that restrict the use of certain keys or namespaces.
    3. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the specified namespace or key.

    Solution:

    1. Check the Key: Ensure that the key you are trying to use is valid and belongs to an allowed namespace. If you are using a custom key, make sure it is properly defined in the system.
    2. Use Allowed Namespaces: If you are developing custom objects, ensure that you are using the correct namespace. For example, custom objects should typically be prefixed with a customer namespace (like Z* or Y*).
    3. Review Configuration: Check the configuration settings related to namespaces in your SAP system. This may involve looking at transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to verify the definitions.
    4. Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the required namespace. This may involve checking user roles and profiles in transaction PFCG.
    5. Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific transaction or function you are using to see if there are any known issues or additional configuration steps required.

    Related Information:
