sapinst try to export table that doesn't exist in db

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I have a questions:

I am facing a following problem during the export of SAP. Sapinst is trying to export table that doesn't exist in db. When I checked TA SE11,SE16,SE12 I got a message that table doesn't exist. But in TA SE14 I see status active:

Name	********	Transparent table
Short text
Last changed
Status	Active	Saved
	Does not exist in the database

I would like to know how sapinst and related R3 programs know about that table. I can't find out the table in tables DD0**, that should content list of all tables.

The one solution is to create the table but customer did not agree with it .Also delete record of the table from related *.STR and *.STR and  add to the negative list.

but main questions is how the sapinst know about table that doesn't exist in DB and from where reads about it.

Thank you

This is so because the entries for these tables do exist in the active nametab tables DDNTT and DDNTF

In the database level , just check the entries exist in DDNTT and DDNTF

SQL> select tabname from <schema-id>.DDNTT where tabname like '%XXX%';

Similarly do it for DDNTF.

Delete the entries from DDNTT and DDNTF tables and generate the STR files again using R3ldctl. You will not find these tables again in the STR files.
