• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DMCLG555 - Processing not possible due to missing DDIC sync ?

  The SAP error message DMCLG555, which states "Processing not possible due to missing DDIC sync," typically indicates that there is a synchronization issue between the Data Dictionary (DDIC) and the underlying database objects. This can occur in various scenarios, such as when changes are made to the Data Dictionary but not properly synchronized with the database, or when there are inconsistencies in the metadata.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Synchronization: Changes made to the Data Dictionary (like table definitions, views, etc.) have not been synchronized with the database.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the transport did not complete successfully.
  Database Issues: Problems with the database itself, such as corruption or connectivity issues.
