Append Structure

[Former Member]

Hi All,

I m facing a problem while deleting an existing field in append structure. Detail description is as below.

I have a table for which i created an append structure with three fields. Now requirement changed and instead of three they require only two fields. So i need to delete the third field from append structure.

I tried to delete it from structure, it get deleted also but while activation it gives me warning messages and it gets partially activated.

I checked with original table in which i appended the structure. The third field is still there eventhough i deleted from append structure.

After that i tried with se14 and tried to adjust the table also i m facing the same problem.

So my question is "To make it activated weather i need to delete the entries of table" or "Shall i directly adjust the table"

If u have any other idea plz let me know.

its very urgent.

Thanks in advance,

Sagar

Sagar,

Why don't you take a look at the activation log, which should explain you clearly why the activation failed. Most probably this strucutre might have some dependencies.

Sagar,

Firstly check with the Basis/DBA if you are authorized to adjust the table. In such cases as you mentioned, you have to adjust the table (Delete and recreate with adjusted data). Activate the structure and then activate the table. Check the Activation log to ensure the table gets recreated correctly on the database. Hence, the need to work with the Basis/DBA Team.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,

Hi friends,

Thanks for yr quick reply.

I checked the activation log. It says only that 'Table cannot be altered, Inconsistency between database objects'. I have rights to do the things.

Again explaining my requirement.

I dont want to delete the data from table.

In SE14 what is to be done. Activate and Adjust with 'Keep data'(Not solving the purpose) or 'Delete data'(i dont want to do). Or is there any other way to solve the problem.

Thanks,
