• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message /BOBF/CONF106 - Primary key of database table &1 does contain superfluous elements ?

  The SAP error message /BOBF/CONF106 indicates that there is an issue with the primary key definition of a database table in the context of the Business Object Framework (BOBF). Specifically, it suggests that the primary key of the specified database table contains superfluous elements, meaning that there are more fields in the primary key than are necessary to uniquely identify a record in that table.
  Cause:
  
  Incorrect Primary Key Definition: The primary key may have been defined with more fields than required. This can happen during the design phase of the data model or when changes are made to the table structure.
  Changes in Business Logic: If the business logic or requirements change, the original primary key definition may no longer be valid, leading to the inclusion of unnecessary fields.
  Inconsistencies in Data Model: There may be inconsistencies between the data model and the actual implementation, especially if changes were made without proper updates to the data model.
  
  Solution:
  
  Review the Primary Key Definition: Check the definition of the primary key for the specified database table. Identify which fields are necessary for uniquely identifying a record.
  Modify the Primary Key: If you find that there are superfluous fields, you will need to modify the primary key definition to remove the unnecessary fields. This can typically be done in the Data Dictionary (SE11) or through the relevant BOBF configuration.
  Test Changes: After making changes to the primary key, ensure to test the application thoroughly to confirm that the changes do not affect the functionality and that records can still be uniquely identified.
  Transport Changes: If you are working in a development environment, ensure that the changes are transported to the quality and production environments following your organization's transport procedures.
  
  Related Information:
  
  BOBF Documentation: Review the official SAP documentation on the Business Object Framework for best practices on defining primary keys and managing data models.
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error or provide guidance on best practices for primary key definitions.
  Debugging: If the error persists after making changes, consider using debugging tools to trace the execution and identify any other underlying issues that may be contributing to the error.
