• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message MQ601 - Table &1 is not active in the DDIC ?

  The SAP error message MQ601 indicates that a specific table (denoted as &1 in the message) is not active in the Data Dictionary (DDIC). This typically occurs when a table has been created or modified but has not been activated, which means that the system cannot recognize or use it.
  Cause:
  
  Table Not Activated: The most common cause is that the table has been created or modified but has not been activated in the Data Dictionary.
  Transport Issues: If the table was transported from another system, it may not have been activated in the target system.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, the table may not have been activated after changes were made.
  Authorization Issues: Sometimes, the user may not have the necessary authorizations to activate the table.
  
  Solution:
  
  
  Activate the Table:
  
  Go to the Data Dictionary (transaction code SE11).
  Enter the name of the table that is causing the error.
  If the table is not active, you will see an option to activate it. Click on the "Activate" button (or use the menu option).
