SAP S/4HANA Error 2822: SQLScript Execution Failure
Description
Error 2822, ERR_SQLSCRIPT_SQL_EXECUTION_FAILED, indicates a problem during the execution of a SQLScript procedure or function within the underlying SAP HANA database. This error typically occurs when custom logic, reports, or integrations involving complex database operations encounter issues such as incorrect syntax, data inconsistencies, or insufficient permissions.
Error Message
ERR_SQLSCRIPT_SQL_EXECUTION_FAILED
Known Causes
4 known causesSQLScript Syntax or Logic Error
The SQLScript code contains errors in its syntax, data manipulation logic, or invalid references to database objects, preventing successful execution.
Data Inconsistency or Invalid Input
The SQLScript encounters data that violates constraints, has incorrect types, or is missing required values, leading to a runtime error during processing.
Insufficient Database Privileges
The user or system executing the SQLScript lacks the necessary permissions to access underlying tables, views, or other database objects required for the operation.
Database Resource Exhaustion
The SAP HANA database experiences memory, CPU, or other resource limitations, which prevents the successful execution of complex or resource-intensive SQLScript operations.
Solutions
4 solutions available1. Analyze SQLScript Debugging Information medium
Examine the detailed error logs generated by the SQLScript execution.
1
Access the ST05 (SQL Trace) transaction in your S/4HANA system.
2
Start a trace for the user experiencing the error and for the relevant time period.
3
Reproduce the error by executing the transaction or program that triggers the SQLScript.
4
Stop the trace in ST05 and analyze the 'SQL' tab. Look for the failed SQL statement and its associated error messages.
5
If available, examine the SQLScript itself (e.g., in SE38 for ABAP programs calling it, or via HANA Studio/SAP Business Application Studio for native HANA objects) to understand the logic that might be causing the failure. Focus on syntax errors, incorrect function calls, or invalid data references.
2. Validate Data Types and Constraints medium
Ensure that the data being processed by the SQLScript adheres to expected types and constraints.
1
Identify the specific table(s) and column(s) involved in the failing SQLScript, based on the ST05 trace or the SQLScript code.
2
Check the data types of these columns in the HANA database schema. You can use HANA Studio or SQL commands like `DESCRIBE TABLE <schema_name>.<table_name>;`.
DESCRIBE TABLE "SAPSR3"."MY_TABLE";3
Compare these data types with the data being inserted or manipulated by the SQLScript. Mismatches (e.g., trying to insert a string into a numeric field) are common causes of execution failures.
4
Verify any constraints (e.g., NOT NULL, UNIQUE, foreign key constraints) on the affected columns and tables. The SQLScript might be attempting an operation that violates these constraints.
5
If data type or constraint issues are found, either correct the input data or, if appropriate and with proper change management, adjust the SQLScript or the database schema.
3. Review HANA Database and System Parameters advanced
Check for potential issues with HANA configuration or resource allocation.
1
Access HANA Studio or the SAP HANA Cockpit.
2
Navigate to the 'System Information' or 'Configuration' section and review relevant parameters. For SQLScript execution, parameters related to memory allocation, query timeout, and parallel processing can be critical.
3
Check the HANA trace files for any database-level errors that might coincide with the SQLScript execution failure. These can be accessed via the Cockpit or by locating the trace directory on the HANA server.
4
Monitor system resources (CPU, memory, disk I/O) on the HANA server during the time of the error. Resource starvation can lead to unexpected SQLScript failures.
5
If specific parameters are suspected, consult SAP Notes related to SQLScript performance and error handling. Adjust parameters cautiously, following SAP best practices and testing thoroughly in a non-production environment.
4. Isolate and Simplify the SQLScript medium
Break down complex SQLScripts to pinpoint the exact failing statement or logic.
1
Obtain the full SQLScript code that is failing. This might be a stored procedure, function, or an inline script within an ABAP program.
2
If the SQLScript is very long or complex, comment out sections of the code or break it down into smaller, manageable parts.
--- This is a commented out section
-- SELECT * FROM "SAPSR3"."MY_TABLE";3
Execute the simplified parts of the SQLScript individually to identify which section is causing the ERR_SQLSCRIPT_SQL_EXECUTION_FAILED error.
4
Once the problematic section is identified, further simplify it by commenting out individual lines or clauses until the exact statement that fails is found.
5
Analyze the failing statement for syntax errors, incorrect function usage, or logical flaws. Use the HANA SQL trace (ST05) to get more specific error details for the isolated statement.
