Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Orphaned Artifacts: This error usually arises when there are ABAP objects (like programs, function modules, classes, etc.) that are no longer linked to any active development or transport request. This can happen due to:
  
  Deletion of transport requests without proper cleanup.
  Manual deletion of objects without removing their dependencies.
  Changes in the system landscape that lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  
  DDIC Views: Similarly, Data Dictionary (DDIC) views may become orphaned if the underlying tables or structures they depend on are deleted or modified without updating the views accordingly.
