Can we skip SPDD in preprocessing? If yes, what will happen? If no, what stops us from skipping it?

Question

Accepted Answer

Skipping SPDD in preprocessing is not recommended as it can lead to inconsistencies in the system.

No, SPDD should not be skipped in preprocessing as it is a crucial step in handling modifications to the ABAP Dictionary objects during an upgrade or migration.
Skipping SPDD can result in inconsistencies between the data dictionary and the ABAP programs, leading to runtime errors and system issues.
SPDD is responsible for adjusting the data dictionary objects to match the new version of the software, ensuring compatibility and smooth functioning of the system.
If SPDD is skipped, it can cause conflicts between the modified objects and the new version, potentially causing data corruption or system failures.
