  The SAP error message GT617 indicates that there is an issue with the deletion of a revised version of a table in the Data Dictionary. This typically occurs when you attempt to delete or modify a table that has been revised or has dependent objects.
  Cause:
  
  Revised Version: The table you are trying to delete is a revised version, meaning it has been modified or has a newer version that is currently active.
  Dependencies: There may be other database objects (like views, indexes, or foreign key relationships) that depend on the table you are trying to delete.
  Transport Requests: If the table is part of a transport request that has not been released or is still in use, it may prevent deletion.
