SAP S/4HANA Error 361: Illegal View Update Operation
Description
Error 361, ERR_SQL_VIEW_UPDATE_VIOLATION, indicates an attempt was made to perform a data manipulation operation (like INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE) on a database view that does not support such operations. This typically occurs because the view is inherently non-updatable due to its definition (e.g., complex joins, aggregate functions, or non-key-preserved tables) or due to underlying database constraints.
Error Message
ERR_SQL_VIEW_UPDATE_VIOLATION: Data manipulation operation not legal on this view
Known Causes
4 known causesNon-Updatable View Definition
The database view's underlying definition (e.g., use of aggregate functions, DISTINCT, complex joins, or non-key-preserved tables) prevents direct data modification.
Insufficient User Permissions
The user or application attempting the data manipulation operation lacks the necessary UPDATE, INSERT, or DELETE privileges on the view or its underlying tables.
Modification of Derived Columns
The operation attempted to modify a column in the view that is derived from other columns or functions, making it non-updatable directly through the view.
Underlying Table Constraints
Constraints, triggers, or specific properties on the base tables referenced by the view might be preventing the data modification operation, even if the view itself appears simple.
