Diagnosis
Up until now, field &V2& has had value &V3& for InfoObject &V1&.

System Response
After the InfoObject has been activated, a new value &V4& is valid. Allpreviously posted data is now interpreted differently. If InfoObjectV1 is being used in infoproviders that still contain data, it cannotbe activated (or only if the InfoProvider is converted).
If InfoObject &V1& is only being used in InfoProviders that do notcontain data, it can still be activated. In this case, InfoProviders inwhich it is used are seactivated.
This is the case if one of the following structural changes is involved:

• New characteristic in the compound


• Key figure type for 'amount' or 'quantity'


• Units - InfoObject


• Non-cumulative type......(no influence on DataStore objects)


• Non-cumulative change......(no influence on DataStore objects)


• Inflow......(no influence on DataStore objects)


• Outflow......(no influence on DataStore objects)


• Fixed key figure

Changing the following properties does not result in the deactivation ofdata targets:

• Deleting characteristics from the compound


• Constant


• Data type


• Key figure type


• Fixed unit


• Fixed currency


• Aggregation......(no influence on DataStore objects)


• Unit type

Procedure
First delete the data in the InfoProvider in which characteristic &V1&is being used.
Activate the deactivated InfoProvider after InfoObject &V1& has beenactivated. The result is that the generated DDIC objects (such astables) for this InfoProvider are adjusted to the changes made toInfoObject &V1&.
This may necessitate the conversion of tables. In this case, the InfoPro
vider cannot be activated. A relevant message appears in the activationlog. You then need to convert the affected tables usingDatabase Utility (transaction SE14).
