How to Roll Back Table Conversion

2,497

I have created the structure and I have Appended to VBAP table. In Appended structure there is one zfield. I need to change in data element of the same field. There are some decimal no. changes. Earlier it was 3.1 and I must change it to 3.2. When I am trying to activate the Append Structure, since then VBAP table is Partially Activated State. So, here I did SE14 Adjust and Activate table, but it is showing short dump. Step 5 Error occur while adjusting. Even I tried reverting the changes and try to make it was at initial stage, but it doesn’t serve the solution. Even if I check the Error in in SE11, it is showing “Table is not existing in the Data base”, but I activate table again it going to dump.

My requirement is to bring back the VBAP table into its original state.

Hello Ashwini,

It is not possible to Roll Back. You have to get the intermediate table generated and recover it.

Here you have an example of the conversion process:
