• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS322 - SQL view & cannot be renamed as &; DDL source & is already shipped ?

  The SAP error message DDLS322 indicates that there is an issue with renaming a SQL view because the Data Definition Language (DDL) source for that view has already been shipped. This typically occurs in the context of SAP ABAP development when you are trying to modify an object that is part of a transport request that has already been released or moved to a different system.
  Cause:
  
  Transport Request Already Released: The SQL view you are trying to rename is part of a transport request that has already been released. Once a transport request is released, the objects within it are considered "shipped" and cannot be modified directly.
  Dependencies: The SQL view may have dependencies on other objects that are also part of the released transport, making it more complex to rename.
  System Restrictions: SAP enforces certain restrictions to maintain the integrity of the transport system and ensure that changes are tracked properly.
  
  Solution:
  
  Create a New View: Instead of renaming the existing SQL view, consider creating a new SQL view with the desired name and copying the logic from the old view. This way, you can avoid issues with the transport system.
  Modify the Transport Request: If you have access and it is appropriate, you can try to revert the transport request to a non-released state (if possible) and then make the changes. However, this is generally not recommended as it can lead to inconsistencies.
  Check Dependencies: Review the dependencies of the SQL view to ensure that there are no other objects that would be affected by the change. If there are dependencies, you may need to address those first.
  Consult with Basis Team: If you are unsure about the implications of your changes, consult with your SAP Basis team or system administrator. They can provide guidance on how to proceed without disrupting the transport system.
  Use a Different Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, consider making the changes in a sandbox or development system where you can freely create and modify objects without transport restrictions.
