SAP S/4HANA Error 1363: SQLScript User Condition Failure
Description
This error indicates a failure related to a user-defined condition within an SAP S/4HANA SQLScript statement. It typically occurs when a condition specified by the user (e.g., in a WHERE clause, filter, or custom logic) is syntactically incorrect, logically flawed, or encounters a runtime evaluation issue, preventing the operation from completing successfully.
Error Message
ERR_SQLSCRIPT_USER_CONDITION
Known Causes
4 known causesInvalid Condition Syntax
The user-defined condition contains syntactic errors, incorrect operators, or logical flaws that prevent its proper parsing or evaluation.
Data Type Mismatch
Incompatible data types are being compared within the user-defined condition, leading to an evaluation error during runtime.
Undefined Object Reference
The condition attempts to reference a column, variable, or object that does not exist or is not accessible within the current SQLScript scope.
Runtime Evaluation Error
A complex user-defined condition encounters an unhandled exception during execution, such as division by zero or an invalid arithmetic operation.
Solutions
3 solutions available1. Review and Correct SQLScript Logic for User-Defined Conditions advanced
The error indicates a failure in a user-defined condition within an SQLScript, requiring direct code review and correction.
1
Identify the specific SQLScript that is failing. This often requires tracing the execution flow or examining the application logs to pinpoint the source of the error. The error message might provide a hint about the procedure or function name.
2
Access the SQLScript code using the SAP HANA Studio or SAP Business Application Studio. Navigate to the relevant procedure or function definition.
3
Scrutinize the `WHERE` clauses and any conditional logic (`IF`, `CASE`) within the SQLScript. Pay close attention to:
- Data type mismatches in comparisons.
- Incorrectly formatted or invalid literal values.
- Null value handling (e.g., using `IS NULL` or `IS NOT NULL` correctly).
- Logical operators (`AND`, `OR`, `NOT`) and their precedence.
- Subqueries that might be returning unexpected results or no rows.
- Data type mismatches in comparisons.
- Incorrectly formatted or invalid literal values.
- Null value handling (e.g., using `IS NULL` or `IS NOT NULL` correctly).
- Logical operators (`AND`, `OR`, `NOT`) and their precedence.
- Subqueries that might be returning unexpected results or no rows.
4
Test the problematic condition in isolation using a SQL console. This helps to quickly identify the exact part of the condition that is causing the failure. For example, if you suspect a `WHERE` clause, execute a `SELECT` statement with that clause against the relevant tables.
SELECT * FROM your_table WHERE your_condition = 'problematic_value';5
Correct the identified logic error, ensuring that all conditions are valid and that data types are handled appropriately. Re-deploy the corrected SQLScript.
2. Verify Data Consistency and Constraints medium
Inconsistent data or violated database constraints can lead to unexpected behavior in SQLScripts, triggering this error.
1
Identify the tables involved in the failing SQLScript. This information is usually available from the application logs or by examining the SQLScript code itself.
2
Check for any data integrity issues in these tables. This includes:
- Missing mandatory values in columns.
- Violations of unique constraints.
- Foreign key constraint violations (ensure related records exist).
- Data type inconsistencies within columns.
- Missing mandatory values in columns.
- Violations of unique constraints.
- Foreign key constraint violations (ensure related records exist).
- Data type inconsistencies within columns.
3
If the SQLScript involves joins, ensure that the join conditions are valid and that there are no unexpected null values in the join columns that could lead to Cartesian products or missing matches.
4
Run `ANALYZE TABLE` statements for the relevant tables to update statistics. Outdated statistics can sometimes lead to incorrect execution plans and unexpected behavior.
ANALYZE TABLE your_table_name; -- Repeat for all relevant tables5
If data inconsistencies are found, correct them using `UPDATE` or `DELETE` statements. If constraints are being violated, investigate the root cause of the violation and either adjust the data or, if necessary and appropriate, review the constraint definition itself (though modifying standard S/4HANA constraints is generally discouraged without thorough impact analysis).
3. Check Application User Permissions for SQLScript Execution medium
The user executing the SQLScript might lack the necessary privileges to perform certain operations within the script.
1
Determine which application user or role is executing the failing SQLScript. This information can often be found in the application server logs or by examining the context in which the SQLScript is called.
2
Identify the specific database objects (tables, views, procedures, functions) that the SQLScript accesses. This is done by reviewing the SQLScript code.
3
In SAP HANA Studio or via SQL commands, verify that the application user or role has the required privileges on these database objects. Common privileges needed include `SELECT`, `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, `DELETE`, and `EXECUTE` for procedures/functions.
CALL GRANT_ACTIVATED_ROLE('YOUR_APP_ROLE'); -- Example for granting roles, actual commands may vary.
-- To check privileges on a specific object:
SELECT * FROM _SYS_REPO.OBJECT_PRIVILEGES WHERE OBJECT_NAME = 'YOUR_OBJECT_NAME' AND GRANTEE = 'YOUR_APP_USER_OR_ROLE';4
If privileges are missing, grant them to the application user or role. Ensure that you are granting the minimum necessary privileges for security reasons.
GRANT SELECT ON your_schema.your_table TO your_app_user_or_role;
GRANT EXECUTE ON your_schema.your_procedure TO your_app_user_or_role;5
After granting privileges, restart the application or the relevant service to ensure the changes take effect.
