  Causes:
  
  Incomplete Activation: The activation process for certain DDIC objects (like tables, views, domains, etc.) was interrupted or failed.
  Transport Issues: If the objects were transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process.
  Missing Dependencies: The objects may have dependencies on other objects that have not been activated yet.
  System Lock: The system might be locked or in a state that prevents activation.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to activate the objects.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Re-activate the Objects:
  
  Go to transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility) and try to activate the objects manually.
