• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDLS704 - Info. on DB view / table function cannot be determined from DDL source & ?

  The SAP error message DDLS704 indicates that the system is unable to determine the database view or table function from the Data Definition Language (DDL) source. This can occur for various reasons, typically related to issues in the definition of the database object or inconsistencies in the system.
  Causes:
  
  Incomplete or Incorrect DDL Source: The DDL source for the database view or table function may be incomplete or incorrectly defined, leading to the system's inability to interpret it.
  Missing Dependencies: The database view or table function may depend on other objects (like tables or views) that are missing or not properly defined.
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that led to inconsistencies.
  Database Compatibility: The DDL source may not be compatible with the underlying database system, especially if there are specific database features or syntax that are not supported.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to access the underlying database objects can also lead to this error.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check DDL Source: Review the DDL source of the database view or table function to ensure it is complete and correctly defined. You can do this by navigating to the object in the ABAP Dictionary (transaction SE11).
  Verify Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects (tables, views, etc.) are present and correctly defined in the system. You can use transaction SE11 to check the dependencies of the view or function.
  Recreate the Object: If the object is corrupted or incorrectly defined, consider recreating it. This can be done by deleting the existing object and creating a new one with the correct definition.
  Check Transport Logs: If the object was transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate what went wrong during the transport.
  Database Compatibility: Ensure that the DDL source is compatible with the database you are using. Consult the database documentation for any specific requirements or limitations.
  Authorization Check: Verify that you have the necessary authorizations to access the database objects involved. You may need to consult with your system administrator to ensure proper access rights.
