  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMGLOG159 - Copying table &1 into &2. ?

    The SAP error message UMGLOG159 typically occurs during the process of copying data from one table to another in the SAP system. This error can arise due to various reasons, and understanding the cause is essential for finding an appropriate solution.

    Cause:

    1. Data Consistency Issues: The source table may have inconsistencies or invalid data that prevent it from being copied to the target table.
    2. Authorization Issues: The user executing the copy operation may not have the necessary authorizations to access the source or target tables.
    3. Table Locking: The source or target table may be locked by another process, preventing the copy operation from completing.
    4. Incorrect Table Structure: The structure of the source and target tables may not match, leading to issues during the copy process.
    5. Database Constraints: There may be constraints (like foreign key constraints) in the target table that are violated by the data being copied.

    Solution:

    1. Check Data Consistency: Review the data in the source table for any inconsistencies or invalid entries. Clean up any problematic data before attempting the copy again.
    2. Verify Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the copy operation on both the source and target tables.
    3. Check for Locks: Use transaction codes like SM12 to check for locks on the tables involved. If there are locks, you may need to wait for the other processes to complete or resolve the locks.
    4. Review Table Structures: Ensure that the structures of the source and target tables are compatible. If they are not, you may need to adjust the target table structure or modify the data being copied.
    5. Examine Constraints: Check for any constraints on the target table that may be violated by the data being copied. You may need to temporarily disable constraints or adjust the data accordingly.

    Related Information:

    • Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), and SM12 (Lock Entries) to help diagnose and resolve the issue.
    • SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
    • Logs and Traces: Review application logs (transaction SLG1) and system logs (transaction SM21) for more detailed error messages that can provide further insights into the issue.
