  The SAP error message DDVIDB351 typically indicates an issue related to database view definitions, specifically when the system is unable to retrieve the database types for the parameters of a view. This can occur for various reasons, including inconsistencies in the database schema, issues with the view definition, or problems with the underlying database.
  Causes:
  
  Inconsistent Database Schema: The database schema may have changed, and the view is not aligned with the current structure.
  View Definition Issues: The view may have been defined incorrectly, or there may be missing or incorrect data types for the parameters.

  Check Transport Logs: If the view was recently transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that may indicate issues during the transport process.
