  The SAP error message RSGMD_MSG023, which states "The object (&1 &2) is not active," typically occurs in the context of SAP's transport management system or when dealing with objects in the SAP system that are not in an active state. This message can appear in various scenarios, such as when trying to execute a program, access a function module, or use a data dictionary object that has not been activated.
  Cause:
  The error is generally caused by one of the following reasons:
  
  Inactive Objects: The object you are trying to access (like a program, function module, or data dictionary object) has not been activated in the system.
  Transport Issues: The object may have been transported from another system but has not been activated in the target system.
  Development Environment: If you are working in a development environment, the object may still be in a draft state and not yet activated.
  
  Solution:
  To resolve this error, you can take the following steps:
  
  
  Activate the Object:
  
  Go to the relevant transaction (e.g., SE80 for Object Navigator, SE37 for Function Modules, SE11 for Data Dictionary).

  Activate the object by selecting it and choosing the "Activate" option (usually found in the menu or toolbar).
  
  
  
  Check Transport Requests:

  You can check the transport logs for any errors during the import process.
  
  
  
  Check Dependencies:
  
  Sometimes, an object may depend on other objects that are not active. Ensure that all dependent objects are also activated.
