• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT140 - Table class has been changed from & to & ?

  The SAP error message DT140 indicates that there has been a change in the table class of a database table. This message typically arises during the activation of a table or when there are inconsistencies in the data dictionary. The message format is as follows:
  DT140 Table class has been changed from & to &
  Cause:
  The error occurs when the table class of a database table has been modified. The table class defines the characteristics of the table, such as whether it is a transparent table, pooled table, or cluster table. Changes to the table class can happen due to:
  
  Development Changes: A developer may have changed the table class in the ABAP Dictionary (SE11).
  Transport Issues: A transport request may have been incorrectly imported, leading to inconsistencies.
  System Upgrades: Changes during system upgrades or patches may inadvertently alter table classes.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve the DT140 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the Table Class:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary).
  Enter the name of the table that is causing the error.
  Check the current table class and compare it with the previous version (if available).
  
  
  
  Revert Changes:
  
  If the change was unintentional, revert the table class to its original state. This can be done by editing the table definition in SE11.
  
  
  
  Activate the Table:
  
  After making the necessary changes, try to activate the table again. This can be done by clicking on the "Activate" button in SE11.
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or inconsistencies. You may need to re-import the transport or adjust the objects involved.
  
  
  
  Consistency Check:
  
  Run a consistency check on the database objects using transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to ensure that there are no other inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If the issue persists, consult SAP Notes or documentation related to the specific version of SAP you are using, as there may be known issues or patches available.
