How To Fix AD393 - Fields were added; update the DB table

AD393 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AD - Data Dictionary application messages

• Message number: 393

• Message text: Fields were added; update the DB table

What causes this issue?

The table structure was changed; fields were added to the end of the
table. If this termination occurred when you were activating a revised
version, select the function 'Append fields' and activate the table
online or enter the table for batch activation. If, on the other hand,
the termination occurred during reactivation of a table that was
already active, the table will have been activated in the ABAP/4
Dictionary, but the database table will not yet have been adapted.
Consequently, there is an inconsistency between the ABAP/4 Dictionary
table and the database table. The procedure described above can be
used here too.
