The SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS204 typically occurs during the activation of secondary objects in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) when there are issues related to the definition or dependencies of the objects being activated. This error can arise in various scenarios, such as when working with ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or when activating database objects in the SAP system.
Cause:
The error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS204 can be caused by several factors, including:
- Missing Dependencies: The secondary object you are trying to activate may depend on other objects that are not yet activated or are in an inconsistent state.
- Inconsistent Object Definitions: There may be inconsistencies in the definitions of the objects, such as data types, field lengths, or other attributes.
- Transport Issues: If the objects were transported from another system, there may be issues with the transport that need to be resolved.
- Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to activate the objects.
- Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues that prevent the activation of the objects.
Solution:
To resolve the DDIC_ADT_DDLS204 error, you can follow these steps:
- Check Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects are activated. You can use transaction SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check the status of the objects.
- Review Object Definitions: Verify that the definitions of the objects are consistent and correct. Look for any discrepancies in data types, lengths, or other attributes.
- Transport Management: If the objects were transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings. You may need to re-import the transport or resolve any issues indicated in the logs.
- Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to activate the objects. You can check this in transaction SU53 (Authorization Check) after attempting the activation.
- Database Consistency: Check for any database-related issues. You may need to run database consistency checks or consult with your database administrator.
- Re-activate Objects: Sometimes, simply re-activating the objects can resolve the issue. Try to activate the primary object first and then the secondary objects.

SAP messages fall into 3 different categories: Error messages
(message type = E), Warnings (W) or Informational (I) messages.
An error message will prevent you from continuing your work - it is a hard stop and you need to fix the error before you can proceed. A warning message will stop your work, however, you can then bypass the warning by pressing the Enter key on your keyboard. That said, it is still good practice to investigate the cause of the warning message and address it. An information message will not stop your work and is truly just for informational purposes.
