SAP Error Message - Details

  • Message type: E = Error

  • Message class: TG - Messages for Upgrade Repository Switch

  • Message number: 447

  • Message text: Table and runtime object & exist without DDIC reference (&)

  • Show details Hide details
  • What causes this issue?

    A runtime object was found for a table that is unknown in ABAP
    Dictionary. The table contains data, which is why, as a precaution, the
    runtime object was not deleted.
    Since there is a runtime object, this means the table was once created
    in the ABAP Dictionary. The fact that the table can no longer be found
    in the ABAP Dictionary could be due to the following reasons:
    It is a customer-specific table which was created when the correction
    system was switched off.
    Depending on the history of your system, there may also be SAP tables
    which were not deleted completely, or for which only the runtime object
    was delivered without the related definition in the ABAP Dictionary.

    System Response

    The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

    How to fix this error?

    RESET N1
    Customer-specific tables
    If the table is a customer-specific table and you still need the data,
    try to restore the table in ABAP Dictionary. Note the specified table
    type when you do this (transparent table, pooled table, and so on).
    The table may still, for example, be contained in the version database.
    You can access version management under "Utilities" in ABAP Dictionary
    (transaction SE11). You may also have a copy of the system that still
    contains the table definition. You can also display the runtime object
    and create the table according to the field names, types, and lengths
    specified in the definition. You can display the runtime object in the
    menu "Extras" of the database utility (transaction SE14).

  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TG447 - Table and runtime object & exist without DDIC reference (&) ?

    The SAP error message TG447 indicates that there is a discrepancy between the runtime object and the Data Dictionary (DDIC) reference for a particular table or object. This typically occurs when a table or object exists in the database but does not have a corresponding definition in the Data Dictionary, or when the Data Dictionary definition is inconsistent with the actual database structure.

    Cause:

    1. Missing DDIC Entry: The table or object exists in the database but does not have a corresponding entry in the Data Dictionary.
    2. Inconsistent Definitions: The structure of the table in the database may have been altered (e.g., fields added or removed) without updating the Data Dictionary.
    3. Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another, the transport might not have included the necessary DDIC objects.
    4. Database Issues: Corruption or issues in the database could lead to inconsistencies between the DDIC and the actual database structure.

    Solution:

    1. Check DDIC Entries: Verify if the table or object exists in the Data Dictionary. You can do this by using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check for the existence of the table.
    2. Recreate DDIC Entry: If the table exists in the database but not in the DDIC, you may need to create the DDIC entry manually. Be cautious and ensure that the structure matches the database.
    3. Adjust Table Structure: If the DDIC entry exists but is inconsistent with the database, you may need to adjust the table structure in the DDIC to match the database. This can be done using transaction SE11.
    4. Use Transaction SE14: You can use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to check and adjust the database table. This transaction can help synchronize the DDIC and the database.
    5. Check Transport Logs: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included in the transport.
    6. Consult Basis Team: If you suspect database corruption or other underlying issues, consult your Basis team for further investigation and resolution.
