• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM039 - DCL source name &1 has no ABAP artifacts (i.e. is not active) ?

  The SAP error message ACM039 indicates that the Data Control Language (DCL) source name specified does not have any active ABAP artifacts associated with it. This typically means that the DCL source is either not defined correctly, or the associated ABAP objects (like classes, function modules, or programs) are not active or do not exist.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive ABAP Artifacts: The ABAP objects that are supposed to be linked to the DCL source are not active. This can happen if they were recently created or modified and not activated.
  Missing ABAP Artifacts: The ABAP objects that the DCL source is supposed to reference do not exist in the system.
  Incorrect DCL Source Name: The DCL source name provided in the error message may be incorrect or misspelled.
  Transport Issues: If the DCL source was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport that caused the artifacts to not be available.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check ABAP Artifacts: Verify that the ABAP artifacts associated with the DCL source are present in the system. You can do this by checking the relevant transaction codes (like SE80 for Object Navigator) to see if the objects exist.
  Activate ABAP Artifacts: If the ABAP artifacts are present but inactive, activate them using transaction SE80 or SE11 (for database objects) or SE37 (for function modules).
  Verify DCL Source Name: Double-check the DCL source name for any typos or errors. Ensure that it matches the name of the ABAP artifacts.
  Check Transport Logs: If the DCL source was transported, check the transport logs for any errors or issues that may have occurred during the transport process.
  Recreate DCL Source: If the DCL source is not correctly defined, consider recreating it with the correct references to the ABAP artifacts.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE80 (Object Navigator), SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE37 (Function Module), and SE24 (Class Builder) to manage and check ABAP artifacts.
  Activation: Remember that in SAP, after creating or modifying an object, it must be activated for it to be usable.
  Transport Management: Familiarize yourself with the transport management system in SAP to understand how objects are moved between systems and how to troubleshoot transport issues.
  
  By following these steps, you should be able to resolve the ACM039 error and ensure that your DCL source is correctly linked to active ABAP artifacts.
