• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT695 - Technical settings for & were activated ?

  The SAP error message DT695 indicates that the technical settings for a particular database table (represented by the placeholder "&") have been activated. This message typically appears during the process of adjusting or modifying the technical settings of a database table in the Data Dictionary (SE11) or when performing certain operations that involve database tables.
  Cause:
  The error message DT695 is not necessarily an error in the traditional sense; rather, it is an informational message indicating that the technical settings for the specified table have been successfully activated. This can occur when:
  
  You have made changes to the technical settings of a table (e.g., changing the data class, size category, buffering settings, etc.).
  You are trying to activate a table that has already been activated with the current settings.
  
  Solution:
  Since DT695 is an informational message, there is typically no action required unless you are experiencing issues with the table. However, if you need to ensure that the settings are correct or if you are facing issues related to the table, consider the following steps:
  
  Check Technical Settings: Go to transaction SE11, enter the table name, and review the technical settings to ensure they are configured as intended.
  Re-activate the Table: If you believe the settings are incorrect, you can make the necessary changes and then re-activate the table.
  Review Dependencies: If the table is used in other objects (like views, indexes, etc.), ensure that those objects are also updated accordingly.
  Check for Errors: If you are facing issues with data retrieval or performance, check for any other error messages or logs that might provide more context.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), SE78 (SAP ArchiveLink), and SE80 (Object Navigator) can be useful for managing database tables and their settings.
  Documentation: SAP Help Portal and SAP Notes can provide additional insights into specific technical settings and best practices.
