Hi Experts,

Need help for which I'm facing issue with VBAK Partly active.

Few months back I have added one custom Append Structure(ZXYQ) in VBAK table, recently for some change I have few more fields to the Append Structure(ZXYQ). When i'm trying to activate ZXYQ Structure it is going to Partly active. At the same time the VBAK also under Partly active.


Can you please advice how to activate VBAK and Append Structure table.

Hi

It's not clear which is the problem, but you can try to activate VBAK by database utilities (transaction SE14)

You will need to run the datasbase utility on VBAK to adjust the table on the database.

Open VBAK in display mode in SE11 and goto menu option Utilities -> Database object -> Database utility and click Activate and adjust database, make sure the Save data radio button is checked.

It looks like you are trying to refer a structure/table type to any of the field the append structure.

Check the data elements what you are using, you cannot just use structures/table types to refer field based on the enhancement category of VBAK.

E.G. WERKS is a Structure but WERKS_D is a data element.

Also check the enhancement category of the append structure also. Change it to "Can be enhanced- Character Type or Numeric ".

Please revert with append structure details with fields if the problem still persist.

Just change the enhacement catagory of the append stucture to: CAN BE Enhanced Deep or Not Classified.

Then activate the structure and then VBAK table from DataBase utilities(IN VBAK screen->utilities->database object->database utilities->click radio button save data and activatte and adjust database)

As long as your include structure does not contain any standard structures, setting it to Cannot Be Enhanced should work.

Hi

VBAK tables should has category: Can be enhanced (chararcter-type or numeric)

So now check wich append or include structure has a different category, check how it's defined in your production system and check which kind of fields you've added

Have you use data type string in new appended field ? If yes then use limited data type like char* and adjust table using se14

SAP delivered VBAK only allows extension with "Numeric or Character" types, so you shouldn't be allowed to add deep structure.

If you are absolutely sure of your requirement/solution and are willing to spend some time on it, you could change VBAK enhancement category, but perform first some where-used search, as there are already "some" standard objects referencing VBAK (*) and their category should be modified too (a subobject can not be more enhanced than the objects that contain it). Also some standard programs may use statements that may rise errors in an Unicode system...

Raymond


(*) e.g. /SAPTRX/SD_SDS_HDR which contains an .INCLUDE VBAK

Hi Everyone.,

Thanks to All for your support.. I tried all the ways to fix it, But still I'm facing the Issue.

In custom Appened Structure I have added one field and removed it again. From then 'Z' Appened Structure and VBAK tables are under Partially Active.

Plz give me your Solution to resolve..

Thanks to Syed Ghulam Ali.. we changed the enhancement category for all append structure to: CAN BE Enhanced Deep or Not Classified. And Activated VBAK using SE14.

It Got Resolved..!
