SAP S/4HANA Error 310: SQL Procedure Failure

📦 SAP S/4HANA

📋

Description

Error 310, 'Sql error in procedure,' indicates a problem encountered during the execution of a SQL stored procedure within SAP S/4HANA. This typically occurs when the system attempts to perform a database operation that relies on a specific procedure, but the procedure fails to execute correctly, preventing the completion of the requested task.

Error Message

ERR_SQL_IN_PROC: Sql error in procedure

🔍

Known Causes

4 known causes

⚠️

Invalid Input Parameters

The SQL procedure received incorrect or malformed input parameters or data, leading to a runtime error during its execution.

⚠️

Database Constraint Violation

The procedure attempted an operation that violates a database constraint, such as a unique key, foreign key, or check constraint, preventing the transaction.

⚠️

Insufficient Database Privileges

The user or system process executing the SQL procedure lacks the necessary database permissions to perform the required operations within the procedure.

⚠️

Missing or Corrupt Data

The procedure relies on data that is either missing from the database or has become corrupt, causing the procedure to fail when attempting to access or process it.

Solutions

3 solutions available

1. Analyze and Recompile Stored Procedure medium

Identify the failing stored procedure and recompile it to resolve syntax or logical errors.

Identify the specific stored procedure that is causing the error. This usually requires examining the application logs or the SAP trace files (e.g., ST05, SM21) to pinpoint the exact procedure name.

Connect to the SAP HANA database using a SQL client (e.g., SAP HANA Studio, DBVisualizer, DBeaver).

Use the following SQL statement to retrieve the source code of the stored procedure. Replace 'YOUR_SCHEMA_NAME' and 'YOUR_PROCEDURE_NAME' with the actual schema and procedure names.

SELECT PROCEDURE_SOURCE FROM PROCEDURES WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'YOUR_SCHEMA_NAME' AND PROCEDURE_NAME = 'YOUR_PROCEDURE_NAME';

Examine the retrieved procedure source code for any syntax errors, incorrect logic, or invalid object references (tables, views, other procedures). Pay close attention to recent changes made to the procedure or its dependencies.

If errors are found, correct them in the procedure's source code. If no obvious errors are found, attempt to recompile the procedure to see if it resolves transient issues.

ALTER PROCEDURE "YOUR_SCHEMA_NAME"."YOUR_PROCEDURE_NAME" RECOMPILE;

If recompilation fails or the error persists after corrections, consider dropping and recreating the procedure with the corrected source code. Always back up the procedure source before dropping.

DROP PROCEDURE "YOUR_SCHEMA_NAME"."YOUR_PROCEDURE_NAME";
-- Re-insert the corrected procedure source code here.

Test the application functionality that triggers the stored procedure to confirm the error is resolved.

2. Investigate Database Object Dependencies medium

Check for invalid or missing objects that the stored procedure relies on.

Identify the stored procedure causing the error, as described in Solution 1.

Query the system catalog views to find all objects (tables, views, functions, other procedures) that the failing stored procedure depends on.

SELECT DEPENDENT_SCHEMA_NAME, DEPENDENT_NAME, DEPENDENT_TYPE, REFERENCED_SCHEMA_NAME, REFERENCED_NAME, REFERENCED_TYPE FROM REFERENCES WHERE REFERENCED_SCHEMA_NAME = 'YOUR_SCHEMA_NAME' AND REFERENCED_NAME = 'YOUR_PROCEDURE_NAME';
SELECT REFERENCED_SCHEMA_NAME, REFERENCED_NAME, REFERENCED_TYPE FROM REFERENCES WHERE DEPENDENT_SCHEMA_NAME = 'YOUR_SCHEMA_NAME' AND DEPENDENT_NAME = 'YOUR_PROCEDURE_NAME';

For each referenced object, verify its existence and validity in the SAP HANA database.

SELECT SCHEMA_NAME, OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE, IS_VALID FROM TABLES WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'REFERENCED_SCHEMA_NAME' AND OBJECT_NAME = 'REFERENCED_NAME';
SELECT SCHEMA_NAME, OBJECT_NAME, OBJECT_TYPE, IS_VALID FROM VIEWS WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'REFERENCED_SCHEMA_NAME' AND OBJECT_NAME = 'REFERENCED_NAME';
-- Similar queries for FUNCTIONS and PROCEDURES

If any referenced objects are invalid (IS_VALID = FALSE) or missing, investigate why. This could be due to a failed deployment, a dropped object, or a schema change.

Recreate or fix the invalid/missing dependent objects. If a table or view is invalid, try to recompile it.

ALTER VIEW "REFERENCED_SCHEMA_NAME"."REFERENCED_NAME" RECOMPILE;

After resolving dependencies, attempt to recompile the original stored procedure using `ALTER PROCEDURE "YOUR_SCHEMA_NAME"."YOUR_PROCEDURE_NAME" RECOMPILE;`.

Test the application functionality.

3. Review and Correct Data Type Mismatches medium

Ensure that data types used within the stored procedure align with the underlying table columns or variable declarations.

Identify the stored procedure and the specific SQL statements within it that are failing.

Examine the data types of variables declared within the procedure and the data types of columns in tables or views that are being accessed by these variables.

SELECT COLUMN_NAME, DATA_TYPE FROM TABLES WHERE SCHEMA_NAME = 'TABLE_SCHEMA' AND TABLE_NAME = 'TABLE_NAME';
-- If using procedures, inspect the procedure definition for variable declarations.

Look for implicit or explicit type conversions that might be failing. For example, attempting to insert a string into a numeric column without proper casting, or vice-versa.

If a data type mismatch is found, correct the procedure code by either:
- Casting the data explicitly using `CAST()` or `CONVERT()` functions.
- Modifying the data type of a variable or column if appropriate (with caution and after impact analysis).
- Adjusting the input data to match the expected type.

INSERT INTO "TARGET_TABLE" (NUMERIC_COLUMN) VALUES (CAST('123' AS INTEGER));
INSERT INTO "TARGET_TABLE" (VARCHAR_COLUMN) VALUES ('Some String');

Recompile the stored procedure after making the necessary data type corrections.

ALTER PROCEDURE "YOUR_SCHEMA_NAME"."YOUR_PROCEDURE_NAME" RECOMPILE;

Test the application to verify the fix.
