• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM249 - &1 orphaned ACM DDIC view(s) deleted ?

  The SAP error message ACM249 indicates that there are orphaned Data Dictionary (DDIC) views related to the Application Component Management (ACM) that have been deleted. This typically occurs when there are inconsistencies in the system, often due to changes in the application components or the underlying data structures.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Data Structures: The error usually arises when the underlying data structures or views have been modified or deleted without proper updates to the dependent objects.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not include all necessary objects, it could lead to orphaned views.
  Manual Deletion: If a developer manually deletes a DDIC object without considering its dependencies, it can lead to orphaned views.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Orphaned Views: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check for the existence of the orphaned views. Identify which views are causing the issue.
  Recreate Missing Views: If the views are essential for the application, you may need to recreate them. This can involve restoring them from a backup or re-implementing them based on the original specifications.
  Adjust Dependencies: If the views are no longer needed, you may need to adjust the dependencies in the system to remove references to these orphaned views.
  Run Consistency Checks: Use transaction codes like SE14 (Database Utility) to check for inconsistencies in the database and correct them.
  Transport Management: Ensure that all necessary objects are included in your transport requests to avoid similar issues in the future.
