• What is the cause and solution for SAP error message RSDDTPS_UI020 - Object &1 of type &2 already activated for the Explorer ?

  The SAP error message RSDDTPS_UI020 indicates that an object (like a query, InfoProvider, or other data model) is already activated for the Explorer. This typically occurs when you attempt to activate an object that has already been activated, which can happen during the development or modification of data models in SAP BW (Business Warehouse) or SAP HANA.
  Cause:
  
  Duplicate Activation Attempt: The most common cause is that the object you are trying to activate is already in an activated state.
  System State: Sometimes, the system might not have properly recognized the activation state due to caching or other internal states.
  Development Environment: If multiple developers are working on the same object, one might activate it while another is trying to activate it again.
  
  Solution:
  
  Check Activation Status: Verify the activation status of the object in the SAP system. You can do this by navigating to the relevant object in the SAP GUI and checking its properties.
  Refresh the Object: If you suspect that the system state is causing the issue, try refreshing the object or the entire model. This can sometimes resolve discrepancies in the activation state.
  Re-activate: If the object is in a state that allows it, you can try to deactivate it and then reactivate it. This can sometimes clear up issues with the activation state.
  Clear Cache: If the issue persists, consider clearing the cache for the BW or HANA system. This can help in cases where the system is not reflecting the current state of the objects.
  Check for Locks: Ensure that there are no locks on the object that might prevent activation. You can check for locks using transaction codes like SM12.
  Consult Logs: Review the system logs for any additional error messages or warnings that might provide more context about the issue.
  
  Related Information:
  
  Transaction Codes: Familiarize yourself with relevant transaction codes such as RSA1 (Data Warehousing Workbench) for BW, or HANA Studio for HANA-related objects.
