• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DT091 - Initiated in the activation of table & ?

  The SAP error message DT091 typically indicates an issue related to the activation of a database table. This error can occur during the activation of a table in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) when there are inconsistencies or problems with the table definition or its dependencies.
  Cause:
  
  Inconsistent Table Definition: The table may have been modified, and the changes have not been properly activated.
  Missing Dependencies: There may be missing or inconsistent dependencies, such as foreign key relationships or associated objects (like views or indexes).
  Transport Issues: If the table was transported from another system, there may be issues with the transport request.
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues, such as locks or corruption.
  Authorization Issues: The user may not have the necessary authorizations to activate the table.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Table Definition: Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction SE11) and check the definition of the table for any inconsistencies. Ensure that all fields, data types, and keys are correctly defined.
  Activate Dependencies: Ensure that all dependent objects (like views, indexes, and foreign keys) are activated. You can do this by checking the related objects in the Data Dictionary.
  Transport Request: If the table was transported, check the transport request for any errors. You may need to re-import the transport or correct any issues in the source system.
  Database Check: Check the database for any locks or issues. You can use transaction codes like SM12 (to check for locks) and SM21 (to check the system log) for troubleshooting.
  Authorization Check: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to activate the table. You can check this in transaction SU53 or by consulting with your security team.
  Re-activation: After addressing the above issues, try to reactivate the table in transaction SE11.
