Reason and Prerequisites

This is caused by a delivery problem.
The tables issued are entered in the DBSTATC tax table with ACTIVE indicator "A" or "P", even though they are pool or cluster tables. Tables such as these are not usually permitted to have any statistics.

Solution

Use Transaction DB21 to change the ACTIVE flag for these tables to "R". Statistics are then only created for these for a short period of time, saved in Table DBSTATTORA and then deleted immediately afterwards.
However, if you are absolutely certain that the table should have statistics, set the customer flag in DBSTATC for the table.
