How To Fix AD365 - Fields inserted/deleted. Convert DB table/data

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AD - Data Dictionary application messages

• Message number: 365

• Message text: Fields inserted/deleted. Convert DB table/data

What causes this issue?

Fields have been added to or deleted from the table or table fields
have been renamed. In the case of TRANSP-type tables, the database
table must be adjusted accordingly. In tables of type POOL/CLUSTER,
data conversion must first take place (there is no compression in the
database interface at present. Then, the table screen must be
regenerated. In the case of VIEW tables, the database view must be
adjusted.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

Note:
When inserting fields into a table structure of the TRANSP type, please
note that the related table conversion (unloading existing data,
deleting the database table, recreating the database table with a new
structure and reloading existing data) adversely affects performance,
even if the table contains no data. Instead, you should add these
fields to the end of the table structure, if possible. Adjustment of
the database table (even with data) in this way provides improved
performance.

System Response

How to fix this error?

You can adjust the database table for a TRANSP-type table with the
database utility (SE14). You can branch directly to the database
utility via the function <LS>DB-utilities</> in the pull-down menu
<LS>utilities</> of the table maintenance. There select <LS>convert</>
in the <LS>direct</> mode.
The same applies to POOL/CLUSTER tables.
The table screen for POOL/CLUSTER-type tables must be regenerated.
