• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DA527 - Base object & is not transparent and not a database view ?

  The SAP error message DA527 indicates that the base object you are trying to use is neither a transparent table nor a database view. This error typically arises when you are attempting to create or modify a data dictionary object (like a view or a table) that references an object that does not meet the required criteria.
  Cause:
  
  Non-Transparent Object: The base object you are referencing is likely a pooled table, cluster table, or some other non-transparent object. These types of objects cannot be used in certain contexts where a transparent table or a database view is required.
  Incorrect Object Type: You may be trying to create a view or a table that references an object that is not suitable for that purpose.
  Object Definition Issues: The object might not be defined correctly in the data dictionary.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Type: Verify the type of the base object you are trying to use. You can do this by navigating to the object in the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and checking its properties.
  Use Transparent Tables or Views: If the base object is a pooled or cluster table, consider using a different base object that is a transparent table or a database view.
  Modify the Design: If you need to use the data from a non-transparent object, consider creating a new transparent table or a database view that can encapsulate the required data.
  Review Dependencies: Ensure that all dependencies and references in your data dictionary objects are valid and correctly defined.
