• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MC797 - All dependent views of DB table & deleted: ?

  The SAP error message MC797 indicates that there is an issue with a database table where all dependent views have been deleted. This typically occurs in the context of data modeling or when working with database tables in SAP, particularly in the context of the SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA environments.
  Cause:
  
  Deleted Views: The primary cause of this error is that all views that were dependent on a specific database table have been deleted. This can happen during database maintenance, changes in data modeling, or when a developer inadvertently removes views that are still in use.
  Data Model Changes: Changes in the data model that affect the relationships between tables and views can lead to this error.
  Transport Issues: If changes were transported from one system to another (e.g., from development to production) and the dependent views were not included in the transport, this error may occur.
  
  Solution:
  
  Recreate Views: If the dependent views have been deleted, you will need to recreate them. This can be done by using the Data Dictionary (SE11) or the relevant modeling tools in SAP BW or HANA.
  Check Transport Requests: If the issue arose after a transport, check the transport requests to ensure that all necessary objects (including views) were included and transported correctly.
  Database Consistency Check: Perform a consistency check on the database to identify any inconsistencies between tables and views. This can often be done using transaction codes like SE14 (Database Utility).
  Review Change Logs: If you have access to change logs or version history, review them to understand what changes were made and by whom. This can help in identifying the root cause of the deletion.
  Consult Documentation: Refer to SAP documentation or notes related to the specific version of SAP you are using, as there may be specific guidelines or patches available for this issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as SE11 (Data Dictionary), SE14 (Database Utility), and others that may help in managing database objects.
  SAP Notes: Check SAP Notes for any known issues or patches related to this error message. SAP frequently updates its knowledge base with solutions for common problems.
  Backup and Recovery: If you have a backup of the database or the data model, consider restoring the deleted views from the backup if possible.
  Testing: After making changes, ensure to test the system thoroughly to confirm that the issue has been resolved and that there are no further dependencies that are affected.
