How To Fix UMGLOG190 - Table buffer could not be reset for table &1.

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: UMGLOG - Message class for the SPUMG Main Log

• Message number: 190

• Message text: Table buffer could not be reset for table &1.

What causes this issue?

Some database tables used in transaction SPUMG/SUMG are fully buffered
in the memory of the application server. E.g. the SPUMG Language List
and the SPUMG settings. To make changes quickly visible to all important
tasks, e.g. SPUMG batch jobs, the table buffers are reset whenever a
background job is scheduled or SPUMG settings are changed. This was not
possible here. The reason is unknown.

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?

To be sure that the most important SPUMG table buffers are up-to-date,
you can reset the table buffers by entering the special command /$tab in
the OK_CODE field of the SAPgui. Please enter:
/$tab umgsettings
/$tab umglangcp
/$tab umglnocp
to reset the table buffers for the SPUMG settings and the SPUMG Language
Lists. Such a reset is necessary only if the SPUMG settings have been
modified.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message UMGLOG190 - Table buffer could not be reset for table &1. ?

  The SAP error message UMGLOG190, which states "Table buffer could not be reset for table &1," typically indicates an issue with the table buffer for a specific database table in the SAP system. This error can occur for various reasons, and understanding the cause and potential solutions is essential for resolving the issue.
  Cause:
  
  Table Buffering Issues: The error often arises when there is a problem with the table buffering mechanism in SAP. This can happen if the table is not properly configured for buffering or if there are inconsistencies in the buffer.
  Database Locking: If the table is locked by another process or transaction, it may prevent the buffer from being reset.
  Transport Issues: If the table structure has been changed and the changes have not been properly transported or activated, it can lead to this error.
  System Performance: High system load or performance issues can also lead to problems with buffer management.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Table Buffering Settings:
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (SE11) and check the buffering settings for the table in question. Ensure that the buffering is correctly configured.
  If the table is not meant to be buffered, consider changing its buffering settings.
  
  
  
  Reset the Buffer:
  
  You can manually reset the buffer for the specific table using transaction code SE14 (Database Utility). Select the table and choose the option to reset the buffer.
  Alternatively, you can use the transaction SM12 to check for and delete any locks on the table.
  
  
  
  Check for Active Locks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check if there are any active locks on the table. If there are locks, you may need to resolve them before the buffer can be reset.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues:
  
  If the error occurred after a transport, ensure that all related objects have been transported correctly and that the changes have been activated in the target system.
  
  
  
  System Performance:
  
  Monitor system performance and check for any resource bottlenecks. If the system is under heavy load, consider optimizing performance or scheduling buffer resets during off-peak hours.
  
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes:
  
  Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error. There may be patches or updates that can resolve the issue.
