  SAP Error Message:
  WTRA014 Database error: Addition of data record unsuccessful
  
  Cause:
  This error typically occurs when SAP tries to insert a new record into a database table, but the operation fails. Common causes include:
  
  Primary key violation: Attempting to insert a record with a key that already exists.
  Database constraints: Violation of unique constraints, foreign key constraints, or check constraints.
  Lock conflicts: The table or record is locked by another process.
  Authorization issues: The user does not have sufficient authorization to modify the table.
  Database inconsistencies: Corruption or issues in the database layer.
  Technical problems: Network issues, database downtime, or resource limitations.
  
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the error, consider the following steps:
  
  
  Check the key fields:
  
  Verify that the data being inserted does not duplicate an existing primary key or unique key in the table.
  
  
  Analyze the database constraints:
  
  Review the table definition and constraints to ensure the data complies with all rules.
  
  
  Check for locks:
  
  Use transaction SM12 to check for locked entries on the table or related objects and release if appropriate.
  
  
  Review authorizations:
  
  Ensure the user executing the operation has the necessary authorizations to insert data into the table.
  
  
  Check system logs:
  
  Look into SM21 (system log) and ST22 (short dumps) for related errors or dumps that provide more context.
  
  
  Database health check:
  
  Consult your database administrator to check for database issues or inconsistencies.
  
  
  Debugging:
  
  If the error occurs during a custom program or enhancement, debug the code to identify the exact point of failure.
