• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS140 - ------------------ Messages for Secondary Objects Handling--------------- ?

  The SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS140 typically relates to issues encountered when handling secondary objects in the context of Data Dictionary (DDIC) operations, particularly when using the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse. This error can arise during various operations, such as when trying to activate or modify database objects, or when there are inconsistencies in the data dictionary.
  Cause:
  
  
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary Objects: The error may occur if there are inconsistencies between primary and secondary objects in the data dictionary. This can happen if changes were made to primary objects without properly updating related secondary objects.
  
  
  Missing Dependencies: If a primary object (like a table or view) has dependencies on secondary objects (like indexes, foreign keys, etc.) that are not properly defined or are missing, this can trigger the error.
  
  
  Transport Issues: If objects were transported between systems and not all related objects were included in the transport request, this can lead to inconsistencies.
  
  
  Development Environment Issues: Sometimes, issues in the development environment, such as outdated caches or misconfigurations, can lead to this error.
  
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Check Object Dependencies: Use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) to check the dependencies of the primary object. Ensure that all secondary objects are correctly defined and activated.
  
  
  Re-activate Objects: Try reactivating the primary object and all related secondary objects. This can often resolve inconsistencies.
  
  
  Transport Management: If the issue is related to transport, ensure that all necessary objects are included in the transport request. You may need to re-transport the objects to ensure consistency across systems.
  
  
  Clear Cache: In some cases, clearing the cache in the development environment can help. You can do this by using transaction code /n/SM12 to delete old locks or /n/SE38 to run the report RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN to check for inconsistencies.
  
  
  Check for Updates: Ensure that your SAP system is up to date with the latest support packages and notes, as SAP frequently releases updates that fix known issues.
  
  
  Consult SAP Notes: Look for specific SAP Notes related to the error message. SAP Notes often provide detailed information about known issues and their resolutions.
  
  
  Debugging: If the issue persists, consider debugging the process to identify the exact point of failure. This may require assistance from a developer or SAP Basis consultant.
  
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), and SE80 (Object Navigator) for managing and troubleshooting data dictionary objects.
  SAP Community: Engage with the SAP Community forums for insights from other users who may have encountered similar issues.
  Documentation: Review SAP documentation for Data Dictionary management and best practices to avoid such errors in the future.
