Database adjustment - Conversion failed at step5

[Former Member]

Hi All,

When I changed the field length from char7 to char5 for a ZField, which is being used in many other tables like BSEG and COEP, SAP tried to convert all those tables. All the tables were converted and activated properly except for COEP.

Conversion process of COEP is failed at step 5 of the process defined by SAP.

Restart Log of the conversion:

1) Initialization was successful

2) Unload - Successful

3) Delete data - Successful

4) Activate - Successful

5) Reload data - failed

6) Create Indexes - Failed

When I open COEP table through SE11, it displays a information message saying " Table COEP does not exist in the database".

Please help me in correcting above mentioned issue.

Thanks for your time,

Regards,

Thanks for the quick reply.

I did that but it is failed to restart the conversion again. It says correct the conversion errors and try adjust the table.

Here are the errors

SQL0551N "SAPP02" does not have the privilege to perform operation "C

REATE TABLE" on object "ZP02#BTAB06D". SQLSTATE=42501

DDL time(___1): ........18 milliseconds

1) The SQL statement was not executed Error

sql:

DROP TABLE "QCM8COEP"

SQL0204N "SAPP02.QCM8COEP" is an undefined name. SQLSTATE=42704

DDL time(___1): .........1 milliseconds

.... QCM8COEP was already removed

2) Creation of table COEP or primary index in DB failed

3) Error in step COEP-STEP5

Please suggest a way to fix this issue. Thanks again for your time!
