Description
Error 1160, ERR_SQL_PLAN_STABILITY_CANNOT_APPLY, indicates that the SAP S/4HANA system is unable to apply a pre-defined or 'abstract' SQL execution plan to a database query. This typically occurs when the database optimizer encounters conditions preventing the use of a stable plan, often leading to performance issues or query failures.
Error Message
ERR_SQL_PLAN_STABILITY_CANNOT_APPLY: Cannot apply abstract sql plan
Known Causes
4 known causesOutdated Database Statistics
The database optimizer relies on current statistics to select the most efficient execution plan. Outdated statistics can lead to the optimizer failing to apply a stable plan.
Schema or Index Changes
Modifications to database tables, indexes, or views can render an existing abstract SQL plan incompatible with the current database structure.
Corrupt Abstract SQL Plan
The stored abstract SQL plan itself may be corrupted or damaged, preventing its successful application by the database optimizer.
Database Version Incompatibility
Upgrades or patches to the database software can sometimes introduce incompatibilities with previously stable abstract SQL plans.
