DDLS475 - Details

• The SAP error message DDLS475 ("Direct activation is currently not allowed") typically occurs when you attempt to activate a database object (like a table or view) directly in the database, but the system is configured to prevent direct activation. This is often a safeguard to ensure that changes are properly managed and that the system remains stable.
  Causes:
  
  System Configuration: The system may be configured to disallow direct activation of database objects to maintain integrity and control over changes.
  Transport Layer Settings: The transport layer settings may restrict direct activation to ensure that all changes go through the transport management system.
  Development vs. Production Environment: In production environments, direct activation is often disabled to prevent untracked changes.
  
  Solutions:
  
  
  Use the Transport Management System (TMS): Instead of trying to activate the object directly, you should create a transport request and activate the object through the TMS. This ensures that all changes are tracked and can be transported
