• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DDU125 - Force creation of database version of table & from active source ?

  The SAP error message DDU125 indicates that there is an issue with the database version of a table that is being created from an active source. This error typically arises during the data dictionary (DD) activation process, where the system is trying to create or modify a database table but encounters a problem.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary: The error may occur if there are inconsistencies between the data dictionary definitions and the actual database structure.
  Active Version Issues: The active version of the table may not be compatible with the changes being made, or there may be a problem with the transport of the changes.
  Database Locking: There might be locks on the database that prevent the creation of the new version.
  Transport Issues: If the table definition was transported from another system, there may be issues with the transport that need to be resolved.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check for Locks: Use transaction code SM12 to check for any locks on the database table. If there are locks, you may need to release them.
  Activate the Table: Try to manually activate the table using transaction code SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility). This can sometimes resolve the issue.
  Check Transport Logs: If the issue is related to a transport, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate what went wrong.
  Consistency Check: Use transaction code SE14 to perform a consistency check on the database table. This can help identify any discrepancies between the data dictionary and the database.
  Recreate the Table: If the table is not critical, you may consider dropping and recreating it, but be cautious as this can lead to data loss if not handled properly.
  Consult SAP Notes: Check the SAP Support Portal for any relevant SAP Notes that may address this specific error message or provide additional troubleshooting steps.
