  The SAP error message DO863 indicates that there is an issue with a dependent table type that has been activated. This error typically arises in the context of data dictionary objects, particularly when dealing with table types and their dependencies in ABAP development.
  Cause:
  The error message DO863 can occur due to several reasons:
  
  Dependent Objects: The table type you are trying to activate has dependent objects (like tables, views, or other types) that are not activated or have errors.
  Inconsistent State: The system might be in an inconsistent state where the dependent objects are not aligned with the current definition of the table type.

  Solution:
  To resolve the DO863 error, you can follow these steps:
  
  
  Check Dependencies:

  Transport Management:
