  Cause:
  The error can be caused by several factors, including but not limited to:

  Transport Issues: If the table was recently transported from another system, there may be missing dependencies or issues with the transport.
  Database Issues: There could be underlying database issues, such as locks or constraints that prevent the activation.
  Authorization Issues: The user executing the activation may not have the necessary authorizations to perform the action.
  Existing Data: If there is existing data in the table that conflicts with the new structure, it may cause the activation to fail.

  To resolve the RS_PSA_DEP039 error, you can follow these steps:
