  The SAP error message AD138, which states "Activation of view table & canceled," typically occurs when there is an issue with the activation of a database view in the ABAP Dictionary. This error can arise due to various reasons, including inconsistencies in the underlying tables, missing objects, or issues with the view definition itself.
  Causes:
  
  Inconsistent Data: The underlying tables or structures that the view is based on may have inconsistencies or errors.
  Missing Objects: If the view references tables or fields that do not exist or have been deleted, activation will fail.
  Syntax Errors: There may be syntax errors in the view definition or in the underlying tables.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to activate the view.
  Transport Issues: If the view was transported from another system, there may be issues with the transport itself.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check the View Definition: Review the view definition for any syntax errors or inconsistencies. Ensure that all referenced tables and fields exist and are correctly defined.
  Check Underlying Tables: Verify that the underlying tables are active and do not have any errors. You can do this by checking the table definitions in the Data Dictionary (SE11).
  Activate Related Objects: If there are any related objects (like tables or domains) that are not activated, activate them first.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to activate the view.
  Transport Issues: If the view was transported, check the transport logs for any errors and ensure that all dependent objects were transported correctly.
  Use Transaction SE11: Go to transaction SE11, enter the view name, and try to activate it. The system may provide more detailed error messages that can help identify the issue.
  Check for Locks: Sometimes, database locks can prevent activation. Check if there are any locks on the tables involved.
