• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS402 - Dependencies cannot be calculated. No active version exists ?

  The SAP error message DDIC_ADT_DDLS402 indicates that the system is unable to calculate dependencies for a Data Dictionary object because there is no active version of that object available. This typically occurs in the context of ABAP Development Tools (ADT) when working with Data Dictionary objects such as tables, views, or data elements.
  Cause:
  
  Inactive Object: The object you are trying to work with (e.g., a table or view) is not activated. In SAP, objects must be activated to be considered "active" and to have their dependencies calculated.
  Transport Issues: If the object was recently transported from another system, it may not have been activated in the target system.
  Development Environment Issues: There may be issues with the development environment or the connection to the SAP system that prevent the retrieval of the active version.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Object: 
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and find the object in question.
  Check if it is inactive. If it is, activate it by selecting the object and clicking on the "Activate" button (or using the shortcut).
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests: 
  
  If the object was transported, ensure that the transport request was successfully imported and that the object is active in the target system.
  
  
  
  Check for Dependencies: 
  
  If the object has dependencies on other objects, ensure that all dependent objects are also active.
  
  
  
  Refresh the ADT Environment: 
  
  Sometimes, simply refreshing the ADT environment or restarting the ADT can resolve temporary issues.
  
  
  
  Check for Errors in the Activation Log: 
  
  If activation fails, check the activation log for any errors that might indicate why the object could not be activated.
