  The SAP error message DDL_REPAIR053 typically occurs when there is an issue with the Core Data Services (CDS) views or when trying to submit a CDS repair in background mode. This error can arise due to various reasons, such as inconsistencies in the database, issues with the CDS view definitions, or problems with the transport requests.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Database State: The database might be in an inconsistent state, which can prevent the CDS repair from being executed successfully.
  Invalid CDS View Definitions: There may be issues with the definitions of the CDS views that are being repaired, such as syntax errors or missing dependencies.
  Transport Issues: If the CDS views are part of a transport request, there may be issues with the transport itself, such as missing objects or incorrect transport settings.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the repair may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the operation.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Database Consistency: Use transaction codes like DB02 or DBACOCKPIT to check the database for inconsistencies. You may need to run database consistency checks or repairs.
  Review CDS View Definitions: Go through the CDS view definitions in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or SE11/SE80 to ensure there are no syntax errors or missing dependencies. Activate the views if necessary.
  Transport Request Verification: If the CDS views are part of a transport request, ensure that the transport is complete and that all necessary objects are included. You can use transaction SE09 or SE10 to check the transport logs.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to perform the CDS repair. You may need to consult with your security team to verify the user's roles and authorizations.
