• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS212 - Deletion of secondary objects for DDL Source &1 ?

  The SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS212 typically occurs when there is an issue related to the deletion of secondary objects associated with a Data Definition Language (DDL) source in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT). This error can arise in various scenarios, such as when trying to delete or modify database objects in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Cause:
  The error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS212 indicates that there are secondary objects (like views, indexes, or other dependent objects) that are preventing the deletion of the primary DDL source (like a table or a structure). The system is designed to protect the integrity of the database and its objects, so it will not allow the deletion of an object if there are dependencies that could be affected.
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Dependencies: 
  
  Use transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to check for any dependent objects associated with the DDL source you are trying to delete. Look for views, indexes, foreign keys, or any other objects that reference the primary object.
  
  
  
  Delete or Modify Dependent Objects:
  
  If you find dependent objects, you will need to either delete them or modify them to remove the dependency on the primary object. Ensure that you have the necessary authorizations to perform these actions.
  
  
  
  Re-attempt Deletion:
  
  Once all dependent objects have been handled, try to delete the primary DDL source again.
  
  
  
  Use the ABAP Dictionary:
  
  You can also use the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11) to analyze the object and its dependencies more thoroughly. The "Where-Used List" feature can help identify where the object is being used.
  
  
  
  Check for Transport Requests:
  
  If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is not locked or in a state that prevents changes.
  
  
  
  Consult Documentation:
  
  If you are unsure about the dependencies or the implications of deleting certain objects, consult the SAP documentation or reach out to your SAP Basis or Development team for guidance.

  Transaction Codes: SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE80 (Object Navigator), SE37 (Function Modules), SE24 (Class Builder).
  SAP Notes: Check for any relevant SAP Notes that might address specific issues related to this error message.
  ABAP Development Tools: Familiarize yourself with the features of ADT, as it provides a more integrated development environment for managing DDL sources and their dependencies.
