  The SAP error message ACM_UI054, which states "Object '&1' is not a valid active DDL source," typically occurs in the context of the SAP Application Change Management (ACM) or when working with Data Definition Language (DDL) objects in the SAP system. This error indicates that the specified object (represented by &1) is not recognized as a valid active DDL source, which can happen for several reasons.
  Causes:
  
  Inactive Object: The object you are trying to access or modify may not be active in the system. This can happen if the object has not been properly activated after being created or modified.
  Incorrect Object Type: The object may not be of a type that is recognized as a valid DDL source. For example, it could be a table, view, or other database object that is not properly defined.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that left the object in an inconsistent state.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access or modify the object, leading to the system not recognizing it as valid.
  Database Issues: There may be underlying database issues that prevent the object from being recognized correctly.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Activate the Object: Check if the object is active. If it is not, activate it using the appropriate transaction (e.g., SE11 for database objects).
  Check Object Type: Ensure that the object you are trying to work with is indeed a valid DDL source. Verify its type and definition.
  Transport Check: If the object was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors. You may need to re-transport the object or correct any issues that occurred during the transport.
  Authorization Check: Verify that the user has the necessary authorizations to access and modify the object. You may need to consult with your security team to ensure proper roles and permissions are assigned.
  Database Consistency: Check the database for any inconsistencies or issues. You may need to run database consistency checks or consult with your database administrator.
  System Logs: Review system logs (transaction SLG1) for any additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
