SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: DO - Dictionary: Mass activation of domains and data elements

• Message number: 122

• Message text: Dependent objects were not activated

What causes this issue?

A change requiring activation of the dependent tables and structures
was made and activated for the domain or data element. Dependent tables
and structures are the tables and structures which contain a field to
which the domains or the data element are assigned.
The dependent tables were not activated or errors occurred when the
dependent tables were activated. The corresponding domains or the
corresponding data element is set to partially active in this case.

System Response

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

How to fix this error?

Using the activation log of the domains or data element (menu
Utilities -> Act. log), check if the dependent tables were already
activated or if errors occurred.
If the dependent tables were not yet activated, activate the domains
or the data element again online, as this starts the activation of the
corresponding dependent table.
If errors occurred when the dependent tables were activated, correct
the errors before activating the domains or the data element.

• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO122 - Dependent objects were not activated ?

  The SAP error message DO122, which states "Dependent objects were not activated," typically occurs during the activation of objects in the SAP system, such as when you are trying to activate a transport request or when there are dependencies between various objects (like programs, function modules, or data elements) that need to be activated in a specific order.
  Causes:
  
  Missing Dependencies: The object you are trying to activate has dependencies on other objects that have not been activated yet.
  Transport Issues: If the objects are part of a transport request, there may be issues with the transport itself, such as missing objects or incorrect sequence.
  Inconsistent State: The system may be in an inconsistent state due to previous activation failures or incomplete transports.
  Authorization Issues: Lack of proper authorizations to activate certain objects can also lead to this error.
  Development Environment Issues: If you are working in a development environment, there may be issues with the development objects that need to be resolved.
  
  Solutions:

  Activate Dependent Objects: Manually activate any dependent objects that are not yet activated. This can often resolve the issue.
