DBIF_REPO_SQL_ERROR
highSQL Error in ABAP Repository Database Operations
Module: ABAP / Repository
What this means
DBIF_REPO_SQL_ERROR is similar to DBIF_RSQL_SQL_ERROR but specifically relates to SQL failures when the ABAP runtime reads from or writes to the ABAP repository itself — the tables that store program source code, dictionary objects, and generated code (REPOSRC, REPOLOAD, TADIR, etc.). This error is more serious than a regular SQL failure because it affects system infrastructure, not just application data. Causes: repository table corruption; missing or damaged repository index; a transport that partially imported repository data leaving it in an inconsistent state; or disk space exhaustion affecting the repository tablespace.
Check SM21 immediately — repository errors usually generate system log entries. Check database-level disk space and tablespace health. If following a transport import, check STMS for import errors and consider re-importing. Run SE38 to check if the ABAP repository is accessible. For serious corruption, contact SAP Support — repository repair is a sensitive operation that requires guided procedures.
