Runtime Errors RAISE_EXCEPTION
Date and Time 25.07.2008 08:31:11
Short text 
Exception condition "METADATA_MISSING" raised. 
What happened? 
The current ABAP/4 program encountered an unexpected 
situation. 
What can you do? 
Note down which actions and inputs caused the error. 
To process the problem further, contact you SAP system 
administrator. 
Using Transaction ST22 for ABAP Dump Analysis, you can look 
at and manage termination messages, and you can also 
keep them for a long time. 
Error analysis 
A RAISE statement in the program "SAPLDSVAS_SERV" raised the exception 
condition "METADATA_MISSING". 
Since the exception was not intercepted by a superior 
program, processing was terminated. 
Short description of exception condition: 
For detailed documentation of the exception condition, use 
Transaction SE37 (Function Library). You can take the called 
function module from the display of active calls. 
How to correct the error 
If the error occures in a non-modified SAP program, you may be able to 
find an interim solution in an SAP Note. 
If you have access to SAP Notes, carry out a search with the following 
keywords: 
"RAISE_EXCEPTION" " " 
"SAPLDSVAS_SERV" or "LDSVAS_SERVC7I" 
"MAP_DSVAS_TT_DATA_TO_TT_25" 
or 
"SAPLDSVAS_SERV" "METADATA_MISSING" 
or 
"RDSMOP_MAIN " "METADATA_MISSING" 
If you cannot solve the problem yourself and want to send an error 
notification to SAP, include the following information: 
1. The description of the current problem (short dump) 
To save the description, choose "System->List->Save->Local File 
(Unconverted)". 
2. Corresponding system log 
Display the system log by calling transaction SM21. 
Restrict the time interval to 10 minutes before and five minutes 
after the short dump. Then choose "System->List->Save->Local File 
(Unconverted)". 
3. If the problem occurs in a problem of your own or a modified SAP 
program: The source code of the program 
In the editor, choose "Utilities->More 
Utilities->Upload/Download->Download". 
4. Details about the conditions under which the error occurred or which 
actions and input led to the error.
