SAP S/4HANA Error 1356: SQLScript Composite Processing Failure
Description
Error 1356, ERR_SQLSCRIPT_COMPOSITE, indicates a complex or multi-faceted failure during the execution or compilation of an SQLScript procedure or calculation view within SAP S/4HANA's underlying HANA database. This error typically occurs when multiple underlying conditions or logical issues prevent the successful processing of the script.
Error Message
ERR_SQLSCRIPT_COMPOSITE
Known Causes
3 known causesComplex Logic or Syntax Errors
The SQLScript procedure contains intricate logical flaws, incorrect syntax, or invalid expressions that lead to a composite failure during compilation or execution.
Data Type Mismatches
Incompatibilities in data types between variables, columns, or expressions within the SQLScript, preventing successful data manipulation or conversion.
Invalid Object References
The SQLScript attempts to access or manipulate database objects (tables, views, other procedures) that do not exist, are incorrectly named, or are inaccessible due to permission issues.
Solutions
3 solutions available1. Analyze SQLScript Logs for Specific Errors medium
Examine the detailed SQLScript logs to pinpoint the exact cause of the composite processing failure.
1
Access the SAP S/4HANA system's trace and log files. The relevant logs are typically found in the work directory of the application server. Look for files with names like `dev_w*` or `SQLDBC_Trace.log`.
2
Search within these logs for messages preceding or surrounding the `ERR_SQLSCRIPT_COMPOSITE` error. These messages often contain specific SQL error codes or textual descriptions of the underlying issue (e.g., syntax errors, data type mismatches, missing objects).
3
Identify the problematic SQLScript object (e.g., stored procedure, function, view). The logs should indicate which object was being executed when the error occurred.
4
Based on the identified error, consult SAP Notes or database documentation for specific resolutions. For example, if a syntax error is found, you'll need to correct the SQLScript code. If a data type mismatch is indicated, adjust the data types in the script or the underlying tables.
5
Test the corrected SQLScript object in a development or test environment before deploying to production.
2. Review and Validate SQLScript Object Dependencies medium
Ensure that all objects referenced by the failing SQLScript have the correct definition, existence, and access rights.
1
Using transaction `SE38` or `SE80` in SAP GUI, locate the ABAP program or object that is calling the SQLScript. This will help identify the specific SQLScript object (e.g., a stored procedure name).
2
In the SAP HANA Studio or SAP Business Application Studio, navigate to the SQLScript object identified in the previous step. Examine its definition, paying close attention to any tables, views, or other functions/procedures it calls.
3
Verify that all dependent objects exist and are accessible. Check for any `DROP` statements or changes that might have invalidated these dependencies.
4
If the SQLScript object is a stored procedure or function, check its parameters. Ensure that the parameters being passed from the calling ABAP program match the expected data types and number of parameters.
5
If the issue persists, consider recompiling the SQLScript object. In HANA Studio, you can right-click on the object and select 'Recompile'.
3. Check Database Resource Utilization and Locking medium
Investigate if the error is caused by database resource constraints or locking issues during composite SQLScript execution.
1
Monitor the SAP HANA database's resource utilization, particularly CPU, memory, and disk I/O, during the execution of the failing process. Use SAP HANA Cockpit or SQL queries like `M_SYSTEM_RESOURCES`.
2
Check for active locks in the database that might be blocking the SQLScript execution. Query `M_LOCKS` to identify any long-running or problematic locks.
3
If resource utilization is high, identify the processes consuming the most resources. This might involve optimizing the SQLScript itself or scaling up database resources.
4
If locks are identified, determine the source of the lock and try to resolve it. This could involve optimizing transactions that hold locks for extended periods or investigating potential deadlocks.
5
Consider the possibility of the SQLScript performing complex operations that exceed typical execution times, leading to timeouts or resource exhaustion. Review the SQLScript for inefficient queries or loops.
