• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ACM_UI058 - Object "&1" is a "normal" SQL view and not related to DDL ?

  The SAP error message ACM_UI058 indicates that the object you are trying to work with is a "normal" SQL view and is not related to Data Definition Language (DDL) operations. This error typically arises in the context of using the ABAP Dictionary or when trying to perform certain operations that are only applicable to database tables or DDL objects.
  Cause:
  
  Object Type: The object you are trying to manipulate is a SQL view, which is a virtual table based on the result set of a SQL query. SQL views do not have a physical structure in the database like tables do, and therefore, certain operations that are applicable to tables (like DDL operations) cannot be performed on them.
  Incorrect Operation: You may be attempting to perform an operation that is not valid for SQL views, such as trying to modify the structure of the view or perform DDL operations.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Type: Verify the type of the object you are working with. If it is indeed a SQL view, ensure that you are using the correct operations that are applicable to views.
  Use Appropriate Transactions: If you need to modify the underlying tables or create a new view, use the appropriate transactions (like SE11 for Data Dictionary objects) to create or modify database tables or views.
  Review Documentation: Consult the SAP documentation or help resources to understand the limitations and capabilities of SQL views versus database tables.
  Modify Underlying Tables: If you need to change the data structure, consider modifying the underlying tables that the SQL view is based on, rather than trying to modify the view itself.
  
  Related Information:
  
  SQL Views: SQL views are used to present data in a specific format or to combine data from multiple tables. They are defined using SQL queries and do not store data themselves.
  DDL Operations: DDL operations include creating, altering, and dropping database objects like tables, indexes, and views. These operations are not applicable to SQL views in the same way they are for physical tables.
  ABAP Dictionary: The ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) is where you can manage database objects in SAP, including tables, views, data elements, domains, etc.
  
  If you continue to encounter issues or if the error message persists, consider reaching out to your SAP Basis or development team for further assistance, as they may have more context on the specific object and operations you are trying to perform.
