  The SAP error message NSDM_MIG_CONTROL172 indicates that a specific view (denoted as &1 in the error message) does not exist or is not active in the database. This error typically arises during data migration or when trying to access a database view that is required for a specific operation.
  Causes:
  
  View Not Created: The view may not have been created in the database. This can happen if the migration process was interrupted or if the necessary steps to create the view were skipped.
  View Not Activated: The view exists but has not been activated. In SAP, certain objects need to be activated before they can be used.
  Database Issues: There may be issues with the database connection or the database itself, leading to the view not being recognized.
  Transport Issues: If the view was transported from another system, there may have been issues during the transport process that prevented it from being created or activated correctly.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the operation may not have the necessary authorizations to access the view.
  
  Solutions:
  
  Check View Existence: Verify if the view exists in the database. You can do this by using transaction codes like SE11 (Data Dictionary) or SE14 (Database Utility) to check the view's status.
  Activate the View: If the view exists but is not active, you can activate it using transaction SE11. Select the view and choose the "Activate" option.
  Recreate the View: If the view does not exist, you may need to recreate it. This can involve running the necessary migration steps again or manually creating the view if you have the definition.
  Check Database Connection: Ensure that the database connection is stable and that there are no issues with the database server.
  Review Transport Logs: If the view was supposed to be transported, check the transport logs for any errors or warnings that might indicate why the view was not created or activated.
  Check Authorizations: Ensure that the user has the necessary authorizations to access the view. You may need to consult with your SAP security team to verify this.
