• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DO690 - &-Version & will not be activated (DDL source & exists) ?

  The SAP error message DO690 indicates that a database object (like a table, view, or other database structure) cannot be activated because a Data Definition Language (DDL) source already exists for that object. This typically occurs during the activation of a transport request or when trying to activate a new version of a database object that conflicts with an existing one.
  
  Cause:
  
  
  Existing DDL Source: The error occurs when there is already a DDL source for the object you are trying to activate. This could be due to:
  
  An earlier version of the object still existing in the database.
  A transport request that has not been fully processed or has conflicts.
  Manual changes made directly in the database that conflict with the new version.
  
  
  
  Transport Issues: If the object was transported from another system and the transport was not completed successfully, it may leave behind an existing DDL source.
  
  
  Development Environment Conflicts: If multiple developers are working
