How To Fix IUUC_ME021 - Cannot recreate object; object &1 does not exist in configuration

SAP Error Message - Details

• Message type: E = Error

• Message class: IUUC_ME -

• Message number: 021

• Message text: Cannot recreate object; object &1 does not exist in configuration

What causes this issue?

Consider the following situation:
A CDS View (for example ZCDSVIEW1) was added to the configuration, and
the option <ZK>Create View</> was selected using the <ZK>Data
Provisioning</> function.
This view was subsequently changed in the source system - a new object
(a CDS view or a table) was added to the view. This view now also
selects data from the newly added object. For example, the view now
selects data from ZTABLE1 and the newly added object ZCDSVIEW2.
The system creates an event to handle the changed view. This event
(Object Definition Changed) has an option to recreate the CDS view in
the target system.
As the newly added object ZCDSVIEW2 does not yet exist in the
configuration or the target system, SAP LT Replication Server displays
this error when you try to recreate the view ZCDSVIEW1 in the target
system.

System Response

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

How to fix this error?

To resolve this issue, you can analyze the object listed in the error
message using the <ZK>Data Provisioning </>function and add any newly
added objects to the configuration so that the object is created in the
target system.
