• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDL_REPAIR005 - Inactive CDS views ?

  The SAP error message DDL_REPAIR005 indicates that there are inactive Core Data Services (CDS) views in your system. This can occur for various reasons, such as changes in the underlying database structure, missing dependencies, or issues with the CDS view definition itself.
  Cause
  
  Changes in Underlying Tables: If the tables or fields that the CDS view relies on have been modified, deleted, or are no longer available, the CDS view may become inactive.
  Missing Dependencies: If the CDS view depends on other views or entities that are inactive or have been deleted, it can lead to this error.
  Syntax Errors: Errors in the CDS view definition, such as incorrect SQL syntax or invalid annotations, can also cause the view to be inactive.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was transported from another system and there were issues during the transport, it may not be activated properly.
  
  Solution
  To resolve the DDL_REPAIR005 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check the CDS View Definition:
  
  Go to the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse or the SAP GUI.
  Open the CDS view in question and check for any syntax errors or issues in the definition.
  
  
  
  Activate the CDS View:
  
  If the view is inactive, try to activate it manually. In ADT, right-click on the view and select "Activate."
  In the SAP GUI, you can use transaction code SE11 or SE80 to find the CDS view and activate it.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Ensure that all dependent objects (like tables, other views, etc.) are active and available.
  If any dependencies are inactive, activate them first.
  
  
  
  Review Transport Logs:
  
  If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate what went wrong during the transport process.
  
  
  
  Use the DDL Repair Tool:
  
  SAP provides a DDL Repair tool that can help identify and fix issues with inactive CDS views. You can access this tool via transaction SE11 or SE80 and look for the "Repair" option.
