How To Fix AD488 - Entry 'Convert DB table &' made for mass processing

AD488 - Overview

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: AD - Data Dictionary application messages

• Message number: 488

• Message text: Entry 'Convert DB table &' made for mass processing

What causes this issue?

Only the ABAP/4 Dictionary version of the object is activated during
the activation process (logical object), provided a change to the
structure has not necessitated the conversion of data.
If fields were simply added to the table (ADD FIELDS), the activator
also adapts the database table (no data conversion is necessary).
However, if data conversion is necessary or if there are no ADD FIELDS,
this action is marked for a batch run. The table to be converted is not
activated. Conversion and activation are carried out by another program
that is started automatically in the transport or update procedure
after activation.
