  Check for Errors:
  
  Look for any syntax errors or issues in the definition of the view that might prevent it from being activated.
  
  
  
  Recheck the Program/Transaction:
  
  If the view is active and you still encounter the error, check the program or transaction that is trying to access the view for any issues.
