Hello ,

Lekha: I have already copied the same error. this is what it says

Error in code generation for deleting table ZVBAK

Vijay: There exists no table maintenance generator

Ramesh : I am not trying to delete the table , i am trying to activate it and the error which is coming shows that it is not able to delete.

Please note that i have mentioned ZVBAK as an example, i am getting this error for all my Z tables .

> i am getting this error for all my Z tables .

what are you doing exactly, and why you are activating tables. I hope simply you don't activate any table, if you make any changes to the table then only you will activate. What changes you are making..

Hey,

I am trying to add some more fields to the Z table and that is when i am getting the error when i am trying to activate it.

Initially i thought there might be some problem with that table but later when i had to add some fields to another Z table i came across the same error. Then i checked it again with other Z tables and that was when my problem was confirmed

hi,

Try using SE14. It will definitely solve your problem.

You are trying to delete ZVBAK table.

For this initially, you need to adjust the various objects which is refferring this table and once all objects are adjusted by removing this table, then delete the data which exists in this table and then delete the table...

Hi,

Try Transaction SE14

In SE11, enter your z table name and get into it. Goto Utilities -> Database Objects -> Database Utility. Use 'Activate and Adjust database' button. I guess this will solve ur problem.

Hi,

For doing any ADDITION of fields or DELETING the Existing fields from TABLE,

1. You first need to empty it i.e. delete the Data inside the Table using transaction SE14

(Activate and Adjust Table - Delete Data).

2. Add or delete the fields now and then activate the Table. You would be able to do it.

Let me know if you have any more doubts.

Amit,

I dont think you need to adjust it always through SE14.You got to adjust it only when you change the order of the primary key.

Anyways that is not the problem here.

i think there is some problem with the Data Base itself and hence my tables are not getting activated.

None of my Z tables are getting activated when i make some modifcations and i have tried se14 in all ways but of no use.

Anyways we have posted the issue to SAP

lets see what might be the result.

Before activating have you deleted any field or added any field in between the existing fields ?

Hi Ravi,

Did your changes affected the primary key fields of any related table or of the same table. i.e if you modify the primary key field also it throws error.

So if problem persists its better to recreate the same table with a different name...hope this may help.

Linda.

Hi Linda,

there was no problem what so ever from ABAP side.

I do know that when we change the primary key field we have to adjust the database again.

A job was supposed to be run , which was skipped by mistake while configuring the client, that triggered the problem.

Anyways every thing is fine now.

Thanks !

Ravi
