• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message WSTRN212 - Allocation table &1 has not been deleted ?

  SAP Error Message:
  
  WSTRN212 Allocation table &1 has not been deleted
  
  Cause:
  This error occurs during the transport process in SAP when the system attempts to delete an allocation table (a temporary table used during transport) but fails to do so. The allocation table is typically created to manage object assignments during transport and should be deleted after the transport step is completed.
  Common reasons for this failure include:
  
  The allocation table is still in use or locked by another process.
  Insufficient authorizations to delete the table.
  Database or system issues preventing deletion.
  The allocation table does not exist or has already been deleted, causing an inconsistent state.
  Transport buffer or transport layer inconsistencies.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the WSTRN212 error, you can try the following steps:
  
  
  Check Transport Logs:
  
  Review the transport logs (STMS or transport request logs) to identify at which step the error occurred.
  Look for preceding errors that might have caused the allocation table not to be deleted.
  
  
  
  Check for Locks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check if the allocation table or related objects are locked.
  If locks exist, determine if they can be safely released.
  
  
  
  Manually Delete Allocation Table:
  
  Sometimes, manual cleanup is required.
  Use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to check the status of the allocation table.
  If safe, delete or reset the allocation table manually.
  
  
  
  Check Authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user performing the transport has sufficient authorizations to delete database tables or allocation tables.
  
  
  
  Restart Transport Process:
  
  Sometimes, restarting the transport process or re-importing the transport request can clear transient issues.
  
  
  
  Check System and Database Health:
  
  Verify that the database is functioning correctly and there are no underlying issues.
  Check for database locks or errors.
