• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS037 - Old SQL view & will be deleted ?

  The SAP error message DDLS037 indicates that an old SQL view is set to be deleted. This typically occurs during the activation of a database object, such as a table or a view, when the system detects that an existing SQL view is outdated or no longer valid due to changes in the underlying data model.
  Cause:
  
  Changes in Data Model: The underlying structure of the database objects (like tables or fields) has changed, which makes the old SQL view obsolete.
  View Deactivation: The SQL view may have been manually deactivated or marked for deletion.
  Transport Requests: If the object was transported from another system, it might conflict with existing objects in the target system.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Dependencies: Review the dependencies of the SQL view to understand what objects are affected. You can use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE80 (Object Navigator) to analyze the view.
  Recreate the View: If the view is still needed, you may need to recreate it based on the new data model. This can involve adjusting the SQL view definition to align with the current structure of the underlying tables.
  Activate the Object: If the view is no longer needed, you can proceed with the activation of the object that triggered the error. The system will automatically delete the old SQL view.
  Check for Transport Issues: If this issue arose after a transport, ensure that all related objects were transported correctly and that there are no inconsistencies in the target system.
  Consult Documentation: Review SAP notes or documentation related to the specific version of SAP you are using, as there may be specific guidelines or patches available.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Use SE11 for Data Dictionary, SE80 for Object Navigator, and SE37 for function modules to check related objects.
  SAP Notes: Search for relevant SAP Notes in the SAP Support Portal that may address specific issues related to SQL views and their management.
  System Logs: Check system logs (transaction SLG1) for additional error messages or warnings that may provide more context about the issue.
