  Activate Objects: Ensure that all relevant objects in the Data Dictionary are activated. You can do this by going to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and checking the status of the objects.
  Check Transport Logs: Review the transport logs to ensure that all changes were successfully transported and activated in the target system.
  Recompile Programs: If custom programs are involved, recompile them to ensure they are in sync with the current Data Dictionary definitions.
