• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDL_REPAIR021 - CDS View &1 (SQL: &2) is partly active. Handled via activation ?

  The SAP error message DDL_REPAIR021 indicates that a Core Data Services (CDS) view is in a partially active state. This typically occurs when there are issues during the activation of the CDS view, which can be due to various reasons such as syntax errors, missing dependencies, or inconsistencies in the underlying database objects.
  Cause:
  
  Syntax Errors: There may be errors in the CDS view definition, such as incorrect SQL syntax or invalid annotations.
  Missing Dependencies: The CDS view may depend on other objects (like tables, other views, or data elements) that are not active or have been modified.
  Database Inconsistencies: There could be inconsistencies in the database objects that the CDS view relies on.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS view was transported from another system, there might be issues related to the transport process.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Syntax: Review the CDS view definition for any syntax errors. You can do this by using the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) in Eclipse or the SAP GUI.
  Activate Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects (like tables, other views, etc.) are active. You can check the activation status of these objects in the ABAP Dictionary.
  Re-activate the CDS View: Try to re-activate the CDS view. You can do this by right-clicking on the view in the ADT and selecting "Activate" or using the transaction code SE11 or SE80 in the SAP GUI.
  Check for Transport Issues: If the view was transported, ensure that all related objects were also transported correctly and are in the correct state.
  Use the Activation Log: Check the activation log for detailed error messages that can provide more context on what went wrong during the activation process. This can be accessed in the ADT or through transaction SLG1 (Application Log).
  Repair the View: If the view is still not activating, you may need to repair it. This can involve modifying the view definition or recreating it if necessary.
