  • What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WGDS_PROCESS752 - The buffering of table &1 is not supported ?

    Certainly! Here's a detailed explanation for the SAP error message:


    SAP Error Message:

    WGDS_PROCESS752: The buffering of table &1 is not supported


    Cause:

    This error occurs when an operation or process tries to use table buffering on a table that does not support buffering. In SAP, not all database tables are allowed or designed to be buffered. Buffering is a mechanism to improve performance by caching table data in the application server memory, but it is only possible for certain types of tables.

    The message indicates that the table name (replaced by &1 in the message) is not configured or allowed to be buffered, yet the system or a program is trying to access it with buffering enabled.


    When does this happen?

    • When a program or standard SAP process tries to read or write to a table with buffering enabled, but the table is not bufferable.
    • When the table buffering settings in the Data Dictionary (SE11) do not allow buffering.
    • When custom code or a standard function module assumes buffering is possible for that table.

    Solution:

    1. Check Table Buffering Settings:

      • Go to transaction SE11.
      • Enter the table name (the one indicated in the error message).
      • Click on Technical Settings.
      • Check the Buffering settings.
        • If buffering is set to No buffering, then the table cannot be buffered.
        • If buffering is set to Single record buffering or Generic area buffering, then buffering is allowed.
    2. Adjust Program or Process:

      • If the table is not bufferable, modify the program or process to not use buffering when accessing this table.
      • This might involve changing the SELECT statements or the buffering parameters in the code.
    3. Change Table Buffering (if appropriate):

      • If buffering is beneficial and the table structure allows it, you can enable buffering in SE11.
      • Note: Not all tables can or should be buffered. For example, tables with frequent updates or large volumes of data are usually not buffered.
      • Changing buffering settings requires careful consideration and testing.
    4. Check SAP Notes:

      • Sometimes SAP provides notes or patches if this error occurs due to a bug or standard program behavior.
      • Search SAP Support Portal for notes related to WGDS_PROCESS752 or the specific table.

        • No buffering
        • Single record buffering
        • Generic area buffering
      • Not all tables are suitable for buffering (e.g., transaction tables, large tables).
    • Transaction SE11:

      • Used to check and change table definitions and buffering settings.
    • Performance Considerations:

      • Enabling buffering on inappropriate tables can lead to data inconsistency or performance degradation.
      • Always analyze the impact before changing buffering settings.
    • SAP Documentation:

      • Refer to SAP Help Portal for "Table Buffering" and "Technical Settings" for detailed explanations.

    Summary:

    Aspect Details
    Cause Attempt to buffer a table that is not bufferable.
