• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDSVAL_ES063 - Fatal DDIC-inconsistency ?

  The SAP error message ESH_ENG_CDSVAL_ES063 indicating a "Fatal DDIC-inconsistency" typically arises from inconsistencies in the Data Dictionary (DDIC) objects, particularly when dealing with Core Data Services (CDS) views or other database-related objects. This error can occur during the activation of CDS views or when executing certain operations that rely on these views.
  Causes:
  
  Inconsistent Data Dictionary Objects: This can happen if there are inconsistencies in the underlying database tables, views, or other DDIC objects that the CDS view depends on.
  Missing or Incomplete Transport: If a transport request that includes changes to DDIC objects has not been properly imported, it can lead to inconsistencies.
  Changes in Underlying Tables: If the structure of the underlying tables has changed (e.g., fields added or removed) without corresponding updates to the CDS views, this can lead to errors.
  Incorrect Annotations: If the annotations in the CDS view are incorrect or not aligned with the underlying data model, it can cause activation issues.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check for Inconsistencies: Use transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility) to check for inconsistencies in the DDIC objects. You can also use the report RS_ABAP_SOURCE_SCAN to identify issues in ABAP programs and CDS views.
  Re-activate the CDS View: Sometimes, simply re-activating the CDS view can resolve the issue. You can do this in the ABAP Development Tools (ADT) or using transaction SE11.
  Transport Management: Ensure that all relevant transport requests have been properly imported and that there are no missing objects. If necessary, re-import the transport.
  Check Dependencies: Verify that all dependent objects (like tables, views, and other CDS views) are active and consistent. You may need to activate them in the correct order.
  Review Annotations: Check the annotations in the CDS view for correctness and ensure they align with the underlying data model.
  Database Consistency Check: If the issue persists, consider running a database consistency check using transaction DB02 or similar tools to identify and resolve any underlying database issues.
