• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS068 - The specified DDL source & is either not active or inconsistent. ?

  The SAP error message DDLS068 indicates that the specified Data Definition Language (DDL) source is either not active or inconsistent. This error typically arises when there are issues with database objects, such as tables or views, that are not properly defined or activated in the SAP system.
  Causes:
  
  Inactive DDL Source: The DDL source (like a table or view) has not been activated in the system. This can happen if the object was created but not yet activated.
  Inconsistent DDL Source: The DDL source may have been modified or corrupted, leading to inconsistencies. This can occur due to failed updates, manual changes in the database, or issues during transport.
  Transport Issues: If the DDL source was transported from one system to another, there may have been issues during the transport process that left the object in an inconsistent state.
  Database Issues: There may be underlying database issues that prevent the DDL source from being recognized as active or consistent.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Activate the DDL Source:
  
  Go to the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11 or SE14).
  Find the object (table, view, etc.) that is causing the error.
  Activate the object to ensure it is recognized as active in the system.
  
  
  
  Check for Inconsistencies:
  
  Use transaction SE14 (Database Utility) to check for inconsistencies in the database objects.
  You can also use the "Check" function in SE11 to verify the integrity of the object.
  
  
  
  Transport Management:
  
  If the object was transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings.
  Re-import the transport request if necessary, ensuring that all dependencies are included.
  
  
  
  Database Consistency Check:
  
  Perform a consistency check on the database using transaction DB02 or DBACOCKPIT to identify any underlying issues.
