How To Fix DT562 - DB actions for indexes table &: Index info could not be read

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DT - Table activation (incl. indexes)

• Message number: 562

• Message text: DB actions for indexes table &: Index info could not be read

What causes this issue?

Database operations for a table were determined for their indexes. Now
you need to determine whether the table contains extension indexes
because these are not handled within table activation. However, it was
not possible to determine the indexes.

System Response

The indexes are taken as normal indexes, not as extension indexes.

How to fix this error?

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

There can be conversion requests in the control table TBATG for
extension indexes. These must be deleted if the extension indexes are
not active or switched on. Otherwise, they can be left as they are.
