  The SAP error message UJC_EXCEPTION005 indicates that there is an issue with manipulating the comments table in the context of a specific operation, and it suggests that the table does not exist. This error typically arises in the context of SAP's User Management or related modules where comments or notes are stored in a database table.
  Cause:
  
  
  Table Does Not Exist: The most straightforward cause is that the comments table referenced in the error message does not exist in the database. This could be due to:
  
  The table was never created.
  The table was deleted or dropped.
  There is a naming mismatch (e.g., case sensitivity or incorrect naming).
  
  
  
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the operation may not have the necessary permissions to access the comments table, leading to the perception that it does not exist.
  
  
  System Configuration: There may be a configuration issue in the SAP system that prevents the proper identification or access to the comments table.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the system was recently updated or transported from another environment, the comments table may not have been included in the transport.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Table Existence:
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check if the comments table exists. If it does not exist, you may need to create it or restore it from a backup.
