How To Fix IU026 - Table &: Conversion processes still working

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IU - Incremental Conversion (ICNV)

• Message number: 026

• Message text: Table &: Conversion processes still working

What causes this issue?

The current table should be brought to another status. At the same
time, at least one conversion process is running to transfer data. The
two process types mutually exclude each other.

System Response

The table is skipped and the program is continued normally. A status
switch is usually compulsory. You therefore have to try again after
finishing the data transfer.

How to fix this error?

If your system is being upgraded, repeat the current upgrade phase. In
all other cases, deschedule the conversion processes using Transaction
ICNV, wait for the conversion processes to finish and then repeat the
status switch.
