Hi all,
recently I have encountered some weird issues during a little archiving run I'm doing on MM_MATBEL.
Tables involved:
IMEXT
MKPF
MSEG
MSEGO1
MSEGO2
NAST
OIAQB
After the archiving was done I logically went for an online reorg of these tables. This worked for all tables, except for MSEG. The reason was the following:
BR1962W Table SAPSR3.MSEG has more than 255 columns
BR1967W Table SAPSR3.MSEG would be implicitly decompressed during reorganization
BR1111I Reorganization of table SAPSR3.MSEG will be skipped
So apparently the table had been compressed in the past (when it had less than 255 columns) and now cannot be rebuilt anymore with compression.
In the following note they mention a workaround/solution:
http://service.sap.com/sap/support/notes/1872983
The solution consists of copying the compressed table into a newly created table. After some problems with the script (which will be fixed) and consulting SAP Support I finally succeeded in rebuilding the tables.
After this rebuild there are numerous dumps (LOAD_FORMAT_ERROR, DDIC_TYPE_INCONSISTENCY, LOAD_TYPE_VERSION_MISMATCH, etc...) in SAP itself, rendering the system practically unusable.
One workaround is to manually re-activate the object generating the shortdump, this does solve the issue on that object, but that's it.
I can hear you think: "Run SGEN, you stupid". Well, I did, and it did not help, or at least not much. It did regenerate some objects, but apparently it's not sufficient.
To me it seems like some inconsistency in the Dictionary, caused by the tables that were rebuilt. Is there a way that we can regenerate the Data Dictionary of SAP? Or at least fix the DDL inconsistencies?
The tables that I have recreated using note 1872983 are:
LIPS
MSEG
VBAP
VBRP
ZEKPO
N2CA02
N2CA03
N2CA04
N2CA05
N2CA09
PA0008
PA0146
PA0701
PA0706
PA0764
PA0897
PB0008
T5ITT7
RSEUMOD
COMPMOVE
WDFR_POS
N3BGF1008
OIUH_RV_JE
OIUH_RV_RJE
TTONFTVZZBEPP
TLVC_DFT_ASSGN
If you have any suggestions, I'd love to hear them.
Thanks in advance
