• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDIC_ADT_SQSC023 - Description of Database Procedure Proxy is invalid ?

  The SAP error message DDIC_ADT_SQSC023 indicates that there is an issue with the description of a database procedure proxy in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT). This error typically arises when there is a mismatch or inconsistency in the metadata associated with a database procedure, which can occur due to various reasons such as changes in the database schema, issues during transport, or inconsistencies in the development environment.
  Causes:
  
  Metadata Mismatch: The database procedure has been altered in the database, but the corresponding proxy in the ABAP system has not been updated.

  Development Environment Issues: Changes made directly in the database (outside of the ABAP environment) may not be reflected in the ABAP system.

  Refresh Metadata: 
  
  In the ABAP Development Tools, you can refresh the metadata for the database procedure. Right-click on the procedure and select the option to refresh or synchronize.

  Check Transport Logs:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate what went wrong during the transport process.
