Symptom
In Public Cloud Edition, error DDIC_INCLUDE_INCONSISTENT occurred, and dumps are thrown in e.g. Eclipse/ADT/Fiori Applications while performing some operation in the system.
In the backend, the dumps looks like the following:
Category ABAP runtime error
Runtime Errors DDIC_INCLUDE_INCONSISTENT
Date and Time 01/01/2026 08:00:00 (UTC)
Short Text
Inconsistency between the DDIC types "ZTEST" and "ZTEST2".
Note: The above mentioned ZTEST and ZTEST2 are just examples.
Environment
SAP S/4HANA Public Cloud Edition
Cause
A transport or an online activation was performed in the affected system, while the system was being used by other users.
When the dumps were thrown to the affected objects (in this example: ZTEST and ZTEST2), the new runtime objects for the objects triggered by the activation have not yet been published, and therefore were inconsistent.
It is expected to have temporary dumps (such as DDIC_INCLUDE_INCONSISTENT) when starting to activate DDIC objects/release transport while the system is being used.
Resolution
As soon as the relevant transport and/or the activation finishes, everything should be consistent, and the dumps should no longer occur.
From Data Dictionary perspective, it is not recommended to perform DDIC activation during system usage, especially in a system where the objects being activated are still in use.
It is very important to do (transport DDIC changes, perform online activation) only during system downtime or during maintenance window, when there is no active user in the system.
