• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message DU351 - DDIC-Structure & cannot be saved ?

  The SAP error message DU351, which states "DDIC-Structure & cannot be saved," typically occurs when there is an issue with the Data Dictionary (DDIC) structure in SAP.

  Causes:
  
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary Objects: The structure you are trying to save may have inconsistencies, such as missing fields, incorrect data types, or references to non-existent objects.

  Review Transport Requests: If the object is part of a transport request, ensure that all necessary objects are included in the transport and that there are no missing dependencies.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to modify the DDIC objects. You may need to consult with your SAP security team.
  Database Consistency Check: Perform a database consistency check to ensure that there are no underlying issues with the database that could be causing the error.
