Hi folks,
Recently we had an issue where a table stopped replicating with ERROR status in our development HANA environment due to a dropped trigger. We were able to trace the drop trigger command to an abap user who had made a change to the source table directly in SAP. Apparently they added a brand new field to the append structure of table MARC. It seems somehow this automatically deleted the triggers. Not such a big deal in development but once we move the change to production this is a big deal because all HANA reports using this table will experience downtime if we have to drop and reload this table. My questions;
1) Should adding a NEW field drop the triggers?
2) What types of changes to a SAP source table would causes us to have to drop and reload a table? Before this recent event I thought that only changes to existing fields would cause this issue (ie: changing a datatype of a field, or length etc) however I thought adding brand new fields to the append structure would not be an issue.
We are on REV 82. Thanks for any insight you can provide.
