SAP Error Message - Details

• Message text: Could not create all views again for & &

What causes this issue?

Most database systems lose the view description (cascading delete) if
one of the base tables in which the view is used is deleted. Since, on
conversion, the original table is deleted after the data has been
unloaded, all view descriptions are also deleted. These are then
created again at the end of conversion and an error occurs.

The system issues an error message and will not allow you to continue with this transaction until the error is resolved.

System Response

Possibly one of the base tables is inconsistent or does not exist.
