• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message TG598 - Table & already exists with type & in table PUTTB ?

  The SAP error message TG598 indicates that there is an issue with a table that already exists in the system. Specifically, the message states that a table with a certain name and type already exists in the table PUTTB (which is a table that holds information about database tables in SAP).
  Cause:
  The error typically occurs when you attempt to create or modify a database table that already exists in the system. This can happen during various operations, such as:
  
  Trying to create a new table with a name that is already in use.
  Attempting to activate a data dictionary object that references a table that has not been properly deleted or modified.
  Issues during transport requests where the same table is being transported multiple times.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the TG598 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Existing Tables: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the table already exists. If it does, verify its structure and data.
  
  
  Delete or Rename: If the table is not needed, you can delete it using transaction SE14 (Database Utility) or rename it if you need to keep the existing data.
  
  
  Adjust Transport Requests: If this error occurs during a transport, ensure that the transport request does not contain duplicate entries for the same table. You may need to adjust the transport request or check the sequence of transports.
  
  
  Check for Active Objects: Ensure that there are no active objects that depend on the table you are trying to create or modify. You can use transaction SE80 to check for dependencies.
  
  
  Re-activate the Object: If the table is supposed to be modified, you may need to make changes in the data dictionary and then re-activate the object.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: If the issue persists, check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that might address this specific error or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
