• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message GT634 - The active and inactive versions in DDIC do not match database table & ?

  The SAP error message GT634 indicates that there is a mismatch between the active and inactive versions of a Data Dictionary object (DDIC) and the corresponding database table. This typically occurs when changes have been made to the DDIC object (like a table structure) but have not been properly activated or synchronized with the database.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Activation: Changes made to the DDIC object (like adding or modifying fields in a table) have not been activated correctly, leading to a mismatch between the active version in the DDIC and the actual database table.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to quality assurance), the transport might not have included all necessary changes, leading to inconsistencies.
  Manual Changes: Direct changes made to the database table outside of the SAP environment (e.g., through SQL) can also lead to this error.
  System Errors: Occasionally, system errors or interruptions during the activation process can cause this issue.
  
  Solution:
  
  Activate the Object: Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the object in question. If it shows as inactive, activate it. This can be done by selecting the object and clicking on the "Activate" button.
  Check Transport Requests: If the object was transported, ensure that the transport request was completed successfully and that all necessary objects were included. You may need to re-transport the object if there were issues.
  Database Synchronization: Use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to synchronize the database table with the DDIC. This can help resolve inconsistencies.
  
  Select the table in question and choose the option to "Activate and Adjust Database".
  
  
  Check for Manual Changes: Review any manual changes made to the database and revert them if necessary. Ensure that all changes are made through the SAP Data Dictionary.
  Consult Logs: Check the system logs (transaction SLG1) for any errors or warnings that might provide additional context about the issue.
