• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO675 - Creation of DB views & not possible; active DDL source & will be flagged ?

  The SAP error message DO675 indicates that there is an issue with the creation of database views due to an active Data Definition Language (DDL) source. This typically occurs when there are ongoing changes or active locks on the database objects that the view is trying to reference. Here’s a breakdown of the cause, potential solutions, and related information:
  Cause:
  
  Active DDL Source: The error suggests that there is an active DDL operation (like creating, altering, or dropping a table or view) that is currently being executed on the database. This can prevent the creation of new views.
  Locks on Database Objects: If the objects that the view depends on are locked due to ongoing transactions or other DDL operations, the system will not allow the creation of the view.
  Database Constraints: There may be constraints or dependencies that are preventing the view from being created.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Active DDL Operations: Use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) and SM21 (to check the system log) to identify any active DDL operations or locks that might be causing the issue.
  Wait for Completion: If there are ongoing DDL operations, you may need to wait for them to complete before attempting to create the view again.
  Release Locks: If you find that there are unnecessary locks, you can release them if you have the necessary permissions. Be cautious with this approach, as it may affect other users or processes.
  Review Dependencies: Ensure that there are no dependencies or constraints that would prevent the creation of the view. This may involve checking the definitions of the tables or other views involved.
  Retry the Operation: Once you have ensured that there are no active DDL operations or locks, try to create the view again.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), and SE80 (Object Navigator) for managing database objects.
  Database Logs: Check the database logs for any errors or warnings that might provide additional context for the issue.
  SAP Notes: Look for SAP Notes related to this error message for any specific patches or updates that may address the issue.
  System Performance: If this error occurs frequently, it may be worth investigating the overall performance of the database and the frequency of DDL operations.
