Note 2479381 - dbacockpit shows Indexes not created for optional indexes
Symptom
After clicking dbacockpit ->Diagnostics->Missing Tables and Indexes, you find many indexes listed as "Indexes not created"
under "Optional indexes".
Environment
SAP system using Microsoft SQL Server database
Cause
Those indexes are created at DDIC level but they are not need at database level. If you check the index by SE11, they are
marked in "No database index" like below picture.
If you check the index by SE14, they are displayed as in "Not defined as DB index in ABAP Dictionary" like below picture.
However, DDIC still has the metadata for the index in order to preserve the information.
Resolution
Thoese indexes exist at DDIC level but they are optional at DB level. What you see in "Optional Indexes" is not warning or
error, just information with green check symbol, it's safe to ignore this information.
