  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message USMD1601 - Cannot determine logical name for source table &1 ?

    The SAP error message USMD1601, which states "Cannot determine logical name for source table &1," typically occurs in the context of SAP Master Data Governance (MDG) when the system is unable to identify the logical name associated with a source table during data modeling or data replication processes.

    Cause:

    1. Missing Configuration: The logical name for the source table may not be configured correctly in the system. This can happen if the table is not defined in the relevant data model or if the configuration is incomplete.
    2. Incorrect Table Name: The table name provided in the error message may be incorrect or not exist in the system.
    3. Transport Issues: If the configuration was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport that led to missing or incomplete definitions.
    4. Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the metadata for the specified table.

    Solution:

    1. Check Configuration: Verify that the source table is correctly defined in the relevant data model. You can do this by navigating to the MDG configuration settings and ensuring that the table is included in the data model.
    2. Validate Table Name: Ensure that the table name referenced in the error message is correct and exists in the database. You can check this using transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to look up the table.
    3. Review Transport Logs: If the configuration was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate issues with the transport.
    4. Authorization Check: Ensure that the user executing the process has the necessary authorizations to access the relevant tables and metadata.
    5. Reconfigure if Necessary: If the logical name is missing, you may need to reconfigure the data model or create the necessary entries in the relevant configuration tables.
