• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS201 - DDL Source &1 does not exist for Base View ?

  The SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS201 indicates that there is an issue with a Data Definition Language (DDL) source that is expected to exist for a base view but cannot be found. This error typically arises in the context of ABAP Development Tools (ADT) when working with database views or other database objects.
  Cause:
  
  Missing or Deleted Object: The base view or the underlying database object that the DDL source is referencing may have been deleted or is not available in the system.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from another system, it may not have been transported correctly, leading to missing dependencies.
  Incorrect Naming: There may be a typo or incorrect naming in the DDL source reference.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to access the base view or its DDL source.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Object Existence: Verify that the base view and its underlying objects exist in the system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE11 for Data Dictionary) and checking the object.
  Recreate or Restore: If the object is missing, you may need to recreate it or restore it from a transport request if it was deleted accidentally.
  Check Transport Requests: If the object was recently transported, check the transport logs to ensure that all necessary objects were included and successfully imported.
  Correct Naming: Double-check the naming conventions and ensure that the DDL source is correctly referenced in your code.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the base view and its DDL source. You may need to consult with your security team to verify this.
  Activate Objects: Sometimes, simply activating the base view or related objects can resolve the issue.
